To wonder why the weather is so crap?

[fortunatepiggy1]

When will it stop raining.. I'm sick of soft play...

I blame the depressing Corry writers

Round us the farmers are pannicking. It's too wet to plant some crops and if you don't plant them early enough there isn't enough time for them to get going by harvest time.

It's climate change and it has repercussions beyond people struggling with needing some sunshine (though I know that's a bit hideous to live with)

Same round here Fencing, and lambing is disastrous because it's so cold.

Yes, it's been a long winter, followed by a cold, wet, cloudy spring. The fields are waterlogged.

From a selfish point of view I still can't line dry, the garden is a quagmire and my one day off a week has been miserable for the last 6 weeks.

Still, the forecast is better for next week, when the DCs are back at school .

The fields round here can't soak up another drop, a lot of what looks like green fields is the grass just about peeping out over laying water. We have swans, geese and sea gulls swimming about in the middle of grazing pasture. The council have been having to sort the ditches in the worst areas to stop the roads flooding.

I'm fucking sick of getting up and seeing it pissing down outside.

And the next person who comes on here saying they love winter and wet weather deserves a good pasting from other posters. Grr!

What really annoys me is I feel I'm being robbed of spring! I think it's just going to tip from winter to summer with no lovely fresh bright weather in between. Robert Browning must be spinning in his grave.

Same here Tawdry. It is misty and gloomy here today, as it was yesterday as well.

The weather looks autumnal, but I have daffodils, polyanthus, hyacinths and camellias blooming in my garden.

My 2 year old pulled open the curtains the other morning and said in shock, "oh! Rain gone away!"

It was back an hour later...

The worms were everywhere this morning. Their little underground tunnels must be waterlogged .

It's the worst in a long time I'm actually worried about summer.

I live next to farmers fields and he's waiting to plant his crop too, but it's so boggy. It seems to dry out fast though when we do get some decent weather.

My dad is a self employed gardener and usually starts getting work around February. So far, nothing. It's been a huge struggle and I'm really worried

Where Dobby? I’m in Somerset and looking for a gardener?

FWIW it's shit across the pond too. Still snow underfoot in some places. No daffs as of yet.

So sick of it. The grey miserable weather is really getting me down. I want sunshine and blossom, like we usually get in April.

@CiderwithBuda - Gloucestershire so a little out of his range sadly but thanks for that, very kind

It’s the gloomy damp days that are so disheartening. I get that April isn’t often wall-to-wall hot sun and beach trips but it’s just so blooming grey!! Entertaining toddlers while pregnant is killing me!

I can cope with rain but not the constant fog. Evenings are getting lighter and it’s ruined.

I’m with you OP. I’m fed up with this shot weather. I even said the other day everyone I see looks grey. Not sure I’d it’s the lack of sun or not. We’ve had loads of snow here and now it’s just rain, rain and more fucking rain. Wish I had a holiday to look forward to

Shit not shot

I will Fluffy!

Shame Dobby!

It's shit. We got so much rain last night the stream has now burst its banks, and the grass is totally waterlogged, it really needs a cut but the ground is just too wet, it would completely knacker the lawn mower. Sigh.

And I got a fucking nosebleed on my 9th birthday tishhope, and spent the whole afternoon in a tent while my friends ran around the garden.
