It's 10 degrees Celsius, and I have had to put my heating on!

It's JUNE!

A couple of weeks ago I had the fan on when I was in the house, and I was getting a suntan walking around Llandudno!

I'm sooooo cold!

Anyone else had to put the heating on?!

Weather is bonkers here in North Norfolk. So I’m a dog walker, two weeks ago, walking my six lovely doggies early morning and late evening, because it was so hot. Today, hailstones and thunderstorms on and off from late morning until 7 p.m. Shorts, vest, sun cream abandoned, me in layers, waterproof, gloves, still freezing. But the gorgeous daft border collie I can’t walk far enough (usually three miles) still went for a swim in the sea! The pugs, in their little leather coats didn’t want to go out, but they managed a quick stroll around the block, before settling down on their heated blanket.

According to some people, it’s either chem trials or geo engineering doing all this. Whatever your beliefs , I’m just happy to see the rain. Keep it cooler I say.

Me too.
In my defence,I'm 3 weeks post chemo ( bowel cancer, caught it ,cancer free but six sessions of intro and oral chemo) .
So I've cranked it up as my extremities are tingling.

My dh is currently having chemo for bowel cancer. Can I ask what your stage/grade was please? He has just finished his 3rd cycle and hopefully, only has 1 more cycle left. I could do with some advice tbh!

Meant to be nice again weekend and next week 🌞🌞🌞🌞

I dislike really hot weather but finding this current weather miserable, I don't mind the cold, I just hate rain.

I'm enjoying still having hot baths and a good nights sleep, I get so sleep deprived in summer, so hot and light all the time.

the80sweregreat · 10/06/2026 21:21

Hot weather can do one. I am becoming obsessed by watching the forecast and hoping it doesn’t forecast a heatwave. I just know that we will get them :(

Yes! I have heard this from a number of different sources now. Smile I can't wait!

I know extreme heat and mugginess is unpleasant, (and anything over 31-32C is a bit much,) but I really fail to see how anyone can be enjoying 12 degrees C, with a windchill of 9C, rain every day, brisk blowy winds, and flipping hail - (like someone posted a photo of earlier) in JUNE. It's summer FGS!

I saw that, but when I checked my area again today, they've downgraded the heatwave to 16c with a chance of rain and a north westerly wind.

I've had to have a large vodka to warm my feet up tonight. And my nose is an ice block.

Downgraded here too, we're going to be lucky to hit 17!

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/06/2026 23:08

Oh dear. Thats not good

South east here and from sat going to be 22/23 onwards to following weekend (19/20) and back to 25/26

blondesland will be sunny. Bikinis again in the garden 😀

Its exactly 2 years since I met some friends from abroad, in London for a meal. They came for a holiday and bought summer clothes. That day it was 12° and dull/windy. My poor friend in a summer dress and sandals! I had boots and a lined jacket on. We walked along the Southwark which you'd expect to be full of people outside bars/restaurants, in summer, but it was desserted!
...so June has form for being a bit rubbish!

GoldAndSilverBells · 13/06/2026 14:28

Nice-ish day here today, but not as nice as predicted about 4 days ago on the weather apps and TV weather bulletins.

This weekend's weather was predicted to be clear, sunny, and 22-23C. It's actually a bit overcast with sunny spells about 50% of the time, windy (22-25mph,) and the top temperature is 17C.

Can't complain though, at least it's not raining!

If I can also say I’m in Dusseldorf at moment part work, part break -exactly same here- has rained or drizzled for at least an hour or two every day since Thursday - although not raining today , but overcast and not that warm and windy, appears to be beautiful weather coming in the minute we go back!!

GoldAndSilverBells · 15/06/2026 09:49

Glad it's not just here (UK) @Crikeyalmighty 😬

I woke up this morning at 7.30am, and the windchill was 6C! 😬 (temperature was 8C,) it was raining, and the wind speed was 20mph! It was like early March, not mid June! And yes, I put the heating on at 7.40am! Just for 20 minutes to warm the house up. FGS, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF JUNE!! 😖

As of 9.49am (right now) it's 12C temperature (and the windchill is the same,) and a temperature of 20C has been predicted for later(windchill will be about 18C) and the rain has stopped. Hopefully it won't re-start!

I've given in and put the heating on for an hour. And I've put a hot water bottle on my icy feet.

EBearhug · 15/06/2026 17:40

I'm in Hampshire and it's in the 20s here today.

Middlemarch123 · 15/06/2026 19:02

Perfect day today in North Norfolk, 19c and light breeze. Did loads in the garden, got all the washing dry and walked all the doggies. Bit chilly now, but comfortable.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 15/06/2026 19:31

13 degrees here in NE Scotland today. Absolutely sick of it now.

Me too @Judystilldreamsofhorses ! Better weather definitely coming up over the next week though! I can't wait. Hopefully it's a longer spell than the end of May. (4-5 days was it? That's been our summer so far!)

Saturday afternoon was gorgeous, 20 degrees, light wind. Yesterday got chilled sitting watching the football inside.

thenightsky · 16/06/2026 10:17

Looks like its going to warm up in a few days, but with rain. So wet but warm. What use is that?

the80sweregreat · 16/06/2026 10:55

I prefer these cooler summer days.
I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea though. I keep reading about hot weather coming back, so still time for a few heatwaves.

CelticSilver · 16/06/2026 11:07

My thermostat: 'Well, look who's come crawling back!'
