It's so depressing. It's been dark for hours, now pissing down. Again.

Haven't worn any summer clothes
Haven't had a bbq / sat out in the garden
No paddling pool out
It's not cold it's just damp and humid

It's shite and I'm over it.

Rant over.

Beach day for us today as it was beautiful 😎

Unlikely to be happening again this week as we have other commitments though plus its forecast to be thunder storms and rain.

Might get a day trip organised next week weather depending...

Our road has just flooded !

Curlewwoohoo · 15/07/2024 20:31

La Nina isn't it, cold over the Pacific driving the ocean and air currents. Might last a few years... Sorry...

I hate being hot, especially at work as it's manual labour, so the temperature suits me. But it doesn't suit my vegetables. Last year, I was taking all the excess in to work, to give away. This year, I've hardly anything for myself!

bevelino · 15/07/2024 20:32

I have literally worn summer clothes about 4 times this year. I am hoping for better weather come August. I agree this current weather is awful.

I hope everyone is ok. Sad

My street flooded last October and it was awful. Watching the water creep closer to the house and knowing there was nothing I could do to stop it made me feel so helpless.

YANBU, but wait for the human slugs to turn up and say some things about puddle suits and ‘sweating at night in anything over 10 degrees’

Human slugs 😂😂

Spent all weekend at an outside event in a base layer and hoody and it’s bloody July. Even when it is dry and warm ish it’s just grey. I need some blue skies and sun! It’ll be dark early before we know it and I’m so fed up.

RampantIvy · 15/07/2024 20:39

We had sunshine this morning, then it clouded over. I just managed to get the grass cut before it rained.

The weekend was cold and miserable. There was a local beer festival that we were going to go to, but couldn't be bothered standing about in the cold and wet. The plus side is that the beer would have been OK.

fashionqueen0123 · 15/07/2024 20:39

It was quite nice at the weekend now has turned again! Raining this evening. Ugh!

However- !! I think summer is arriving on Wednesday. Forecast is 24c Thursday and Friday 26c and then 22-24 for the foreseeable! Not crazy hot but better than what it’s been!

bellocchild · 15/07/2024 20:39

They are saying it's the worst summer since 1816, when Mount Tambora erupted and blotted out the sun...

Newsenmum · 15/07/2024 20:41

It’s looking hotter and sunnier from Thursday for about a week at least!

longdistanceclaraclara · 15/07/2024 20:43

@Newsenmum hotter and more humid here, no sun

Pouring with rain here. Totally fed up. There’s another thread about putting the heating on and everyone is just as fed up. Normally I would eye roll at another thread about the shit summer but it’s totally justified.

I. Am. Sick. Of. It.

@TheMamaLife

it’s not , its horrible. Who wants wet hair and having to wear rain proof clothing this time of year?!

Hardknocks · 15/07/2024 20:49

Had a garden party for DD on Saturday. Hired a bouncy castle.

Pissed it down - bouncy castle soaked, everyone inside. Miserable.

Why couldn’t it have been like this 2 years ago when I gave birth rather than 40 degrees 😂

Why did you bother posting on this thread?

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 15/07/2024 20:51

It's making me feel so desperate! I want to organise a march against it or something! I can't even afford a holiday this year. 😡

ChefsKisser · 15/07/2024 20:53

In the north west and it’s been awful. We have 2 weeks in Spain late august and I can not wait. I want to feel sun on my skin! Knowing my luck it’ll be the only 2 sunny weeks in the UK at the same time and everyone will be enjoying it here at the same time but tbh I can accept that this year as ids just been grim. I keep getting flashbacks on phone memories of paddling pool days, bbqs etc. It feels like we’ve not had one properly hot day yet at all. Depressing AF

Wontletmeusemynormalname · 15/07/2024 20:53

Wow, was 23 degrees here in SW Scotland!

garlictwist · 15/07/2024 20:54

Today was actually warm(ish) and sunny where I am (don't worry, it's raining again now) but Sunday was such a massive wash out it felt incredible. It was 18 degrees! I hung the washing out! I can't remember the last time I saw blue sky. It was nice to get a break in the misery even if short lived.
