AIBU to hate this awful summer weather.

[Cailleach666]

It's been raining for weeks.
10 bloody degrees again today, had to put my heating on the morning.
I can't get my washing dry everything is sodden outside.

Oh for some sun and even 20 degrees would be lovely.

That said, this heat is not nice. The UK is not geared up for nice weather. I used to live on the equator and we would have free flowing lime juice, access to a pool (lived in condo), good summer clothes and aircon.

Heat in the UK is really unpleasant.

I wish I could swap with you! I'm a northerner (and quite fond of the rain!) living in London with a 6 week old baby who seems to hate the heat and is very grumpy and screamy on the hot days we've been having here

Just started raining here in SE London. I'm grateful that it's cooled down as the humidity here has been horrible.

YANBU. I always thought I liked summer. This kind of summer? Nope. I feel permanently sweaty, our flat is boiling even with fans on so not sleeping well which just makes me incredibly grumpy. And I can never seem to wear the right thing.
It's also making it more difficult to exercise - I dislike running in humidity - so I feel quite gross.
Basically, I'm a little ray of sunshine ;)

London summer has been bloody awful. Hot is OK (not great when you're working) but the humidity and high temperatures at night are awful. I haven't slept well for weeks. Keeps trying to rain here but hasn't happened yet.

Amazing how different it is. I'm south west and loving that we have rain today as the garden badly needs it. (Saves me feeling guilty that i didn't water yesterday as per dh's request - he's away this week).

I hate London in the heat so glad I'm not having to work there any more.

I'm much further north than OP I reckon, but still in Scotland - it's beautiful here and has been for days.
my standards may be much lower though

I'm in Cumbria. Rainy and a bit chilly. I have a big jumper on in the house. I don't want heat, but a reliable 24 or 25° would be nice.

I'm in the south and it has rained and cooled down today. So happy! Maybe I'll be able to sleep properly now.

As for the grass being dead. It goes a bit yellow when it's dry. When it rains, it goes back to green. It's not dead.

West Yorkshire. We had rain all last week when I was in annual leave, not bad at the weekend, actual sun on Sunday but I was in bed because of night shifts. Shitty weather yesterday and today when I'm off. No doubt it'll be glorious next 3 days and shit at the weekend.
Every single day we've had the sun this year I've been stuck in the oven that is my work. Rest of the time the weather has been shite. Sick to death of it.

I'd like daytime temperature around 22; low humidity, sunny, gentle breeze, overnight rain, night temperature around 10.

Whyhastherumgone I read on here that if you place the fan pointing out of an open window it cools the room much better. Something about pulling the hot air out. If you have it pointing into the room it just circulates the hot air.

Sick of the cold wet weather here in North West England. Can't wait until next week when we're off to the Med for a couple of weeks of some decent weather.

First decent day of rain here for a while in midlands

I feel your pain OP. I'm in Glasgow and trying to get through the summer holidays with two kids when the weather is bad is like some sort of endurance test

YANBU

I am South East, and we had a couple of very hot days, but sunny the rest of the weeks. Too cold for paddling pool and still needed my duvet at night, but just seeing blue sky feels really good. So much energy and happiness than when it's so grey outside. It does get a bit stuffy in the tube to be fair, but nothing unbearable.
It has started to rain this morning, it's grim, so you have all my sympathy!

I think the weather needs to spread itself across the country much more evenly!

It's been the dryest spring and summer so far that I can remember! I'm in the West Midlands, and for the first time in weeks we've had a bit of rain today, but it was just a drizzle, I'm hoping for more. There are a lot of yellow lawns about, and I've had to water my garden almost everyday as my plants keep wilting.

I would like rain over night to keep things lush and green, and then lovely sunny days with a slight breeze- and absolutely no humidity! Not too much to ask surely

(Enjoying us Brits living up to our stereotype of complaining about the weather)

This unpredictable seasonal weather makes me want to move to Spain where you always know what you're going to get in terms of weather... Would make planning events like weddings a lot easier too :-)

OP Thought you were going to complain about the heat and I was coming on to agree! I'm in London and the heat is unbearable - We've been sleeping without a duvet for weeks now, and the humidity is making me feel clammy and flustered.

Bring on autumn (my favourite season - fresh and breezy)

It's pretty much perfect here in S York for once. Generally warm and sunny with occasional hot days and occasional wet ones. I'm going with "best summer in ages" - you have my sympathy.

It's been so hot here in glad it's been chucking it down today. Much happier me as I don't mind rain and much happier dog as he can go outside without overheating.

At last an advantage to living in the midlands - we've had a bit of both!

hear hear! It can't be that difficult, can it!
people on night shifts might disagree though

You lucky cow.

Where I am, (Central Midlands area,) it has been mostly sunny for months, apart from occasional outbursts. I would say March, April, May, June, and July (so far,) has been 80% sunny and dry.

So much so that our trees have been shedding leaves to survive, and the grass is crispy in parts due to being so dry. A couple of swamps a mile or so from us, (in the woodlands,) have actually completely dried up. First time I have ever seen that happen in the 7 or so years I have been here.

It's pissing down today though. It's a bit of a relief though, as it's been humid for days and it was making me feel a tad queasy!!!
