Summer seems to have finally arrived!

Who’s happy?!

Going by the amount of weather threads recently, it seems there’s always going to be some degree of dissent 😅
Personally I’m pleased to see blue skies and that bright orangey thing in the sky that’s been reported missing for months ☀️
Life seems to be a bit easier when the sun’s out!

As long as it doesn’t get too hot, I’ll be happy. I hate working in the heat, and not being able to sleep.

GameOfJones · 21/06/2024 06:55

I'm pleased! I'm not a real sun worshipper..... never sunbathe etc and am very pale BUT yesterday I got home from work, sat outside in the garden with a G&T, we ate dinner outside, the kids played out in the garden from getting home from school til bedtime. It just made our evening feel so much nicer.

I'm also loving hanging the washing outside.

Well probably have a BBQ this weekend. Life is good.

We're already straying into my personal "it's too hot" territory (anything over 20⁰), but no way am I going to moan about it now, given the dismal past few weeks.

It wonderful to see those blue skies again 💙

AndAllOurYesterdays · 21/06/2024 07:05

I'm loving it. 21/22 degrees and sunny is perfect for me

RampantIvy · 21/06/2024 07:06

There will soon be threads from the summer haters whinging that it has finally reached 20 degrees.

I like warm summer weather and I hope the farmers can manage to grow their crops now, and outdoor workers, builders etc can catch up with their workload.

If I see any of the "I love all this rainy weather" posters complain about the sunshine I think I might be tempted to gloat about it.

Whinge · 21/06/2024 07:08

I'm so pleased it's finally warming up. It's lovely to have washing on the line, to go out without a coat, to wear something other than jumpers and it's great to finally get out into the garden.

My mood definitely seems to have lifted, and I can finally start to enjoy the lighter nights as it's not freezing cold and pissing it down. 🌞😎

FieldOfBeans · 21/06/2024 07:11

I'm thrilled! The weather really affects my moods and this has brightened my spirits loads! I seem to wake up in a good mood when I see the sun.

That's not to say I don't plan on complaining about being too hot the entire time though, I'm still British Grin

😂 You’ve got a brass neck!

Ineffable23 · 21/06/2024 07:23

I love the sunshine and am so happy, especially that seems like it might be sunny over the weekend so we can make the most of it.

WonderingWanda · 21/06/2024 07:23

So happy, we are having a family gathering this weekend for my Dad's birthday and this will just make it so much nicer to be able sit and eatb outside.

CharliesAngles · 21/06/2024 08:27

Oh yes I agree, I don't want it to get too hot either.
This is my Goldilocks weather - it's just right ! 😄

Cornwall had summer for two days but we are back in winter today.

cheezncrackers · 21/06/2024 08:31

I love it when the sky is blue and the sun is out, but I also hope it doesn't get too hot. The summer of 2022 was grim, because it was so hot for weeks on end. No one could sleep, the house was like an oven and there was just no way to keep it cool. But low 20s and sunny - fab! It's summer, after all.

MonsteraMama · 21/06/2024 08:33

Sssssh don't talk about it or it'll scurry off again like a nervous baby deer!

(Yes I'm delighted and spent the entire day yesterday in my garden, pasty legs out, mocktail in hand)

CeeJay81 · 21/06/2024 08:40

Me😃. Around 20 degrees and sunny is my perfect weather. At an outdoor gig last night and it made for a perfect evening.

mydogisthebest · 21/06/2024 08:41

This week has been just right for me as I don't like really hot weather (unlike DH who is never too hot).

We spent the beginning of the week away and it was lovely not to have to wear 2 or 3 layers. Yesterday I got 3 loads of washing dry on the line and it made me ridiculously happy.

Today we are out for the day and I am actually thinking of wearing a dress!

CeeJay81 · 21/06/2024 08:41

Damn just checked the forecast and it's not so warm today and the week looks a bit mixed.

fieldsofbutterflies · 21/06/2024 08:57

Fifteen degrees and cloudy here 😂

Meant to warm up next week though 🤞

Normallynumb · 21/06/2024 13:15

I don't do well in extreme temperatures but 22/23 is perfect for me
I love feeling the sun on the top of my head and it gives me a real boost for some reason
It's forecast to be the same here next week ( West Wiltshire)

GasPanic · 21/06/2024 13:21

This is great. Anything over 20 is summery and fine.

No-one said they loved the rainy weather. They said they preferred the cooler temperature. But you decided to have a go anyway.

CharliesAngles · 21/06/2024 13:49

The Brucey bonus is that it's also Friday 🤩
I've finished work and have been home doing a bit of a belated spring clean (the dismal weather did NOT motivate me to do it before) so I can put my feet up guilt free later on 😇
DH will pick up kids and some groceries on his way back so I'll have nowt to do but enjoy the sunshine and a nice cold glass of wine as he's sorting out dinner.
Glorious! ☀️

Please show me? You had a real go the OP who was liking the cooler weather for no reason at all, other than being a bully.

Alwaystired23 · 21/06/2024 14:34

It's been a dull day here (south West wales), and it is forecast to rain in an hour or so. It's actually gone cold now. I'm jealous of the sun people seem to be having today!
