Anyone else hating the weather?

[MidnightPatrol]

What is there to enjoy about this.

Its going to start to get darker again soon.

I’ve had enough of wearing waterproofs outside. I would like to sit in my garden. Maybe it would dry out long enough to do some gardening.

Id like to not be cold outdoors after 5pm - or to be honest, just in the middle of the day.

Id like to spend the day in the park or at the beach. I’d like to sit in the sun enjoying a rosé.

This truly must be the worst June on record.

I hate it.

I'm just outside London and we've just had torrential rain and thunder. It's bloody relentless!

It's shit and putting me in a very bad mood.

Sad, downcast face then hilarious laughing face. Yes I feel your hot pain.

I see it as goady shit tbf.

Totally agree.
(Literally) the middle of June and am indoors listening to rain pelting down- normally would be on the river now

It’s hilarious that people enjoy the bad weather because they don’t have to hear other people enjoying themselves outside.

Erk, don't normally come on weather threads but looked up the other day and it was hailing outside my studio window, and today I got drenched in a howling storm when I popped out to get some stuff for an evening birthday picnic later today... Which has already had to be rescheduled several times. Still have a hot water bottle for bed most nights and it's starting to get me down!

The farmers are going to be screwed with this shit, for all those twats saying how they can’t bear anything over 18 degrees. We have had only TWO days of decent weather - one at 18 degrees and another at 20. The average temperate (FEELS like temperature) has been 9 degrees. And endless wind and rain. All year and in June. But, you know, remember that day when it snowed in June decades ago, as if that means anything.

Meanwhile we’re paying top price for utterly vile fruit and veg that’s past its sell by date before it even gets on the plane from another country.

I’m close to emigrating- feeling severely depressed, have been in the same clothes and soft play for the past 10 months.

It’s goady, selfish and tone deaf.

Chucking it down yet again and it’s 10 degrees!
Seriously, 10 degrees is not normal for the middle of June.
We had a few decent days in May but that’s more or less been it. When it hasn’t rained it’s been cold and windy.
I’m well and truly sick of it.

I was thinking yesterday how weird it is not to having the daily battle of spraying the little ones with suncream... They've still got their winter coats on 😥

I hate it. I often think that if Narnia was in a perpetual Autumn rather than Winter, it would be renamed the UK.

Yep and definitely designed to be that way.

I'm
In the north of Scotland and got my legs burnt today sitting on my patio. It's really warm here

Yesterday was mild too but this is literally the first nice day of summer since those few days we had in May.

Hopefully this is the turning point - but guaranteed tomorrow it will be wet and cold again. We start summer holidays in 2 weeks and I am dreading 7 weeks of rain and cold. Please no!! There is nothing to do here when it rains....

Why is it “selfish” to not mind what the weather is doing at the moment? There’s nothing we can do about it. Why does everyone have to love the hotter weather? I don’t because of the problems it brings where I live. Kids with footballs, shouting in gardens etc. We all have our own preferences

Forecast for the next week is looking a bit better here. Hitting low 20's and less rain showing. Let's hope it pans out that way.

I like it being about 23C - sunny and warm without being too hot. It isn't so much the temp though, it's the dull grey and rain that isn't great.

Not kids playing and enjoying themselves! The horror!! Children should be sitting silently inside in a dark room.

FFS.

I'm trying to stay optimistic for a summer. I'm old enough to remember the much lauded "Summer of '76" and iIrc that kicked off at the end of June following a very wet spell. It doesn't need to be 30 degrees+ mid 20's will do. I live in hope.

That's exactly how I feel.

We're tenants on a farm and the last 11 months (yes 11 - it started raining in July 2023) and it's hardly stopped raining. We were tearing our hair out over winter with the ground being so wet and trying to deal with animals in fields that were turning into swamps.

It'll soon be Spring we'd say and we'd pray for sun, warmth and dry weather and look what we have sodding well got. I just can't bear the thought of going into another autumn/winter without the ground not having had a seriously good drying out. Practically it's a nightmare but it's also mentally very draining. 😢😢😢

I'm going to a gig tonight. When I booked I had visions of floaty summer dresses and cool drinks. I'm going to need my boots and mac. Sucks.

Me. Feel so depressed.

I e already decided it's not worth buying any new summer clothes this year. And I barely bought anything last year. Most of my summer clothes are at least 3-5 years old. All I've purchased this year is a pair of shorts and sandals and I doubt they will get more than a few weeks wear.

In 3 months (or less) we will be back into autumn clothes for the most part, and I'm sure we will have many wet and less than warm days in between.

I hate it. I want to be outside not on the sofa under a blanket. These lovely light evenings are wasted as it just rains. I need to feel warmth on my skin!

Do you live in South London? Thought not
