Are you also thoroughly fed up with this never ending dismal, miserable November weather ?

I don't suppose it's just me but I'm going to rant about it anyway. The poor weather is one reason I cannot stand November. In West Yorkshire, it seems that every morning I wake up to low cloud, dark skies drizzle and rain. Apart from yesterday when it was dry and we had some morning sunshine; it clouded over early afternoon! It's soul destroying. Back to the rain this morning. Oh, the joys.

The other main reason November can do one for me is Black Friday. Go away! I don't care about discounts on goods I'd never have bought in the first place. Sod off back over the Atlantic where you came from and don't come back.

I swear I shall develop murderous intentions if Thanksgiving should ever dare to show its face in this country.

I'm fighting off one of these nasty viruses that's sweeping the country just now, so I am far less tolerant of November crap than usual. But I maintain that November is pointless and should be eradicated. I'm sorry if this affects you negatively.

Roll on spring!

It might be wet but it's mild and very much cheaper to keep the house cosy from a starting temperature of 5 or 10 degrees.

I’m not fed up with it and I don’t hate it. It’s the changing of the seasons that makes me appreciate all of them.

I quite like November. Christmas on the horizon/ fireworks /beautiful leaves we’ve had a few stunning bright days amongst the rain. For me it’s February and March that are the truly shit depressing months.

This chap didn't like it much either

November

No sun — no moon!
No morn — no noon —
No dawn — no dusk — no proper time of day.

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member —
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! —
November!

The next person who says “oh I love autumn. All those crisp bright autumn days!” will get a hard stare from me.

I wouldn't mind crisp bright mornings if we actually HAD any. Instead it's dodging all the soggy leaves and flooded drains.

I hate it, it's miserable and it's making me so down in the dumps. I live on the east coast of Ireland and it's just so harsh. We've had terrible floods recently too, thankfully not in my area but some businesses have been really badly affected. I've barely left the house in weeks.

I wish I could hibernate from the end of September to the start of May.

I hate the wind. I hate the rain. I hate the dark greyness. I hate the cold. I realise it’s reasonably mild at the moment but it’s still cold enough to make me miserable and I know it’s only going to get worse on that front.
Hate it.
The ‘lovely crisp autumn days’ people can fuck right off. As can the ‘changing seasons’ people. They change and get worse and worse, then they change to vaguely bearable, we get a couple of weeks of nice and back to vaguely bearable and then it descends into crap again.

@Bluevelvetsofa where are you picking out that people are lacking empathy or understanding? I love on the west coast of Scotland, I know plenty about flooding and the devastation it causes, unfortunately. I still don't understand how someone saying that they don't mind seasonal November weather = doesn't understand that weather extremes cause problems and a lack of empathy. It really doesn't.
