AIBU re this awful weather?

[Bokkanikkaglory]

Ok - so crap weather for our dc's during the Easter holidays - now they are back at school AIBU to think that mother nature should at least give us parents a break and offer up some sunshine? It's due to rain all flaming week here in limpsfield - bah!

It usually does rain a lot in April - when I was a small child my granny used to tell me 'April showers bring May flowers'

@ lola

April is always a bit mad, true. I remember a quite a few years with blazing sunshine one minute and hailstones and even snow the next!

Hope it holds off for your birthday Empusa.

That has reminded me of (thankfully ex) BF who suddenly got into huge strop aged twenty four after a summer BBQ birthday party that his utterly selfish and neglectful parents had never done anything like that for him, the bastards.

He was born at the end of November

It is 44c here, sitting under the a/c with Fabs. (lollies from the 70s bizarrely freely available in Qatar)

Our weather has been weird.

Monday, hailstones, rain, sleet, then snow, that was before 12pm, then 12pm it was windy, warm and sun was shining, that was up until 5pm, then after that major rain downfall, and then snow with lightning ALL IN ONE DAY.

its teeming here now in the NE.

My 4 year old reckons 'it's not fair' that it's raining. Mind you he also thinks 'it's not fair' that we've had no snow this winter...

This is spring in the UK, that's what it does.

The last 2 Aprils have been exceptionally dry and warm,which is probably why this one seems so bad.Despite it raining every day for the last 2 weeks,our ponds and brooks are still very low,the ground was so dried out that the water hasn't percolated down into the ground very well-it just seems to be sitting on the surface.

In general I love English weather.

I carry my weather on the inside - rain doesn't bother me.

YABU! It's horrible, so the perfect excuse to go back to bed. I even put my electric blanket on while I did the school run, so can't wait!

see this is why i dont mind the rain too much, as last couple of years after having an early heatwave we went on to have a shit summer.

so am hoping that the seasons have gone back to normal this year and that it will be a proper summer.
But i did read online somewhere that the weather conditions that we are having are on par with the weather conditions leading up to the summer of '76!

There has been speculation that we will have a repeat of that summer this year... very much doubt it though!!!

Given the current drought I am trying very hard not to mind the rain! I live in a part of the country that (apparently) has a similar rainfall to Abu Dhabi (iirc) so a few days of rain shouldn't matter too much.

I don't mind the rain as we need it. But why oh why does it have chuck it down when ever I have to do the school run.
