To feel quite pissed off about the lack of summer so far

Where I live it's due to rain again all next week. Not expecting it to be scorching but even a break from all the rain would be nice, with it being July tomorrow. It feels like the summer is going to pass us by without it ever really happening.

Agree I was just thinking that, it’s shit.

PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya · 30/06/2021 22:37

YANB at all U

I’m sick to death of it. I don’t expect scorching all summer long but it was so bloody cold last week or the week before we had to sneak the fan heaters on in the office. Then I got home and DP (would wear shorts in the Arctic) had had the heating on!! Shock It’s bloody ridiculous.

I’ve got a lovely dress I need a nice day for Sad

Disagree… In 2 months we will all be saying it’s too dark again so just get out and enjoy what you can whilst you can

Enjoy what? Rain and mud? Whoop.

Yanbu. Feels like summer is never going to arrive.

DulseSeaweed · 30/06/2021 22:43

I’m in Northern Ireland and we have had a lovely couple of weeks. I had to get that in there as not often we can be smug about the weather….

Mychitchatdays · 30/06/2021 22:43

It's been gorgeous here all week, but that will be us for the rest of the summer more than likely and normal weather will resume.

transformandriseup · 30/06/2021 22:44

Actually it was fairly sunny down here today but it's only 17 degrees on average and there are a few wet days on the horizon. I hate moaning about the weather but it's so far removed from what we had last year.

AutistGoth · 30/06/2021 22:44

Yep. It took ages to get started, May was horrendous. Then we had about a week of scorching weather and then... it just disappeared.

I really feel down about it, actually. Even Goths need to see the sun occasionally!

23andbroke · 30/06/2021 22:45

Where do you live? Please say outside of England Wink

StCharlotte · 30/06/2021 22:45

I'm on annual leave this week. Should have been in Greece but am stuck in cold and wet UK. Exactly the same happened to me last year on my one week off in 2020. I am really pissed off.

23andbroke · 30/06/2021 22:45

Fuckkk, just checked the weather in my area and think we’re neighbours OP

It's almost always raining though. I've had to have the heating on as well, and lights during the daytime sometimes as it's also quite dark.

Feel sorry for those already holidaying in the UK especially camping.
Hope you get a few chances to wear the nice dress PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya

@SoupDragon exactly! What is there to enjoy lol

MedusasBadHairDay · 30/06/2021 22:47

It's so miserable right now, I'm struggling to get motivated, it just makes me want to sleep all the time

DoucheCanoe · 30/06/2021 22:48

We're in our third week of a heatwave. It was 26° yesterday!

Doesn't happen often here in Scotland so I'll wear my smug badge with pride Grin

AnyFucker · 30/06/2021 22:48

Come to sunny Manchester. May was crap but since then it has been consistently good summer weather.

AiryFairy1 · 30/06/2021 22:49

Sorry, we bought a pool this month which means we’ve scuppered summer 😭
Took bloody ages to fill too 😤

Glad you got to enjoy some nice and well deserved weather there at least

In Scotland we are actually having summer this year - had no idea it wasn't happening in England.

DisgruntledPelican · 30/06/2021 22:51

It’s been hot and sunny for days in Scotland, I can’t wait for a bit of rain to break it up a bit! Was visiting family a week ago in the midlands and it was lovely then, too.

It must be rubbish though if you’re keen on consistent warmer weather. There are usually enough sunny days to get me through, I like the variety.

VeganFishFingers · 30/06/2021 22:51

Where do you live OP as its been warm and sunny here?

SheldonesqueDoesNotBelongHere · 30/06/2021 22:52

Lovely weather up here.

I long for rain and winter due to the skunkers next door who actively attempt to make more noise than yesterday.

We all dislike them with a passion.

SpaceRaiders · 30/06/2021 22:53

If ever there was a year where I’ll praying and hoping for a long hot summer, this is it. Holidaying in the uk, in the pissing rain isn’t my idea of a holiday!

RoseMartha · 30/06/2021 22:53

Its not helping the 'fed up' mood I have now been feeling for about 4 months.
