Is this colder than most ‘junes’? So miserable

[Juga]

No money to go abroad. No money to put heating on. Struggling to afford indoor activities for dd and just wanted some time outdoors in the sun. It feels like this is the coldest June I can remember? I also don’t get how this fits with global warming… though I expect I am missing how that works? Just so fed up of being cold, for literally nearly a year now!

It's bloody freezing unless you are stood in direct sunlight with a wind block.
Got a blanket on me while wfh today!

I agree.

I don't want to wear warm winter clothes in June. I want to wear summer dresses and feel the sun on my face and arms.

And I want to be able to express my frustration at the weather without being lectured about wearing the right kind of clothes.

What do you count as 'roasting?'

It's really cold 🥶

I think it just depends where you are. My neighbours children have been splashing about in their paddling pool for the last few days!

Where?!! I'm on the south coast and it's certainly not roasting here, there's a horrible cold wind.

Nice here in Majorca - 28 degrees, sunny, light breeze!! I booked in early May as was so fed up of wind and rain

Sure, but it's the equivalent of throwing a toddler tantrum and going "I want I want I want" when no-one can change it. So your options are put the jumper on or be cold. There is no "make the sun come out" option.

I'm in the southwest and May was cold and June is worse. I used to swap into summer things on the first weekend in May, but it was towards the middle of May last year (also a crap summer) and even later this year. Still wearing jeans or thick leggings for part of the day.

I don't mind it so much for me, but what is driving me mad is STILL having to use the tumble dryer to get clothes properly dry and that everything I am trying to grow at the allotment is at risk of failing if the nights don't bloody well warm up.

I’m actually finding it the perfect drying weather here in the SE - cold, blustery and sunny at any given hour on loop.

In the East Midlands (a normally drier part of the country) the rain is proving unpredictable.

At least half a dozen times, my washing has got dry-ish and then wetter again after a quick shower. It's like gambling - do I bring it in now because the sky is dark and finish it off in the tumbly or do I leave it out

Me too. I've had my washing dry on the line every day this week and it's dried every day.

South east here, heatings just kicked in - sat outside for a few hours today - super hot then big temperature drop when sun goes in, gets throw out and repeat 😂

i think we are all are wearing jumpers. And we can still say it’s shit and we’d rather be wearing a summer dress. People are allowed to say something is wank when it is

It's normally at least dry here in the north east but not this year. Freezing AND wet. Ok, it doesn't (usually) rain all day but so what, it's still wet and cold. Brr.
We were in Switzerland for half term last week and only got one sunny day and one sunny afternoon all week there too. We were mostly on the trains so dry but still!
We wanted to go on the Mountain Coaster slide at Kandersteg but it only operates in dry weather. We went up in the cable car anyway thinking it might be drier higher up - ha! It was snowing.

The Met Office announced last week that we had just lived through the warmest spring on record. Apparently, they were not actually joking.

It’s a long time since I read Orwell’s 1984, but I was reminded of this passage : “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Just sitting here snuggled under my electric blanket

come on!!

Nope I've been in shorts for the past two weeks

In the Midlands

Antonio Guterres famously said we have entered the era of “global boiling”.

Certainly makes you wonder if he’d stick to that statement if he had to spend a couple of days here in June-uary. I suspect he’d beat a hasty retreat to the Bahamas or other exotic location where he could double down on his global boiling theory.

(Writing this in thermals and two fleeces, and still blinking freezing.)

It’s definitely cold and extra wet for the time of year I don’t care what the so called experts claim, in their region perhaps but not mine! The local music festival held on Bank Holiday weekend has been glorious sunshine and hot every single year since it started around 4-5 years ago, this year the park has been trashed, it’s an absolute mud bath. Daytime temps themselves haven’t actually been too bad for the most part (just very wet) but it’s clearly dropping quite low at night / early hours this week as my heating has been kicking in every morning having not done so for a while. My phone app says lows of 8 tonight but the weather forecast on the radio suggested temperatures in my area could drop as low as 3 degrees tonight, 3 degrees in June!!!!

I can cope with it being a bit cool, I work in a physical job so tend to easily warm up working and I don’t have the tolerance or complexion for proper hot weather, I am sick of the rain though. Nothing worse than being damp all bloody day.

There is the option of enjoying a bit of a moan about it all.

Also known as the "Take your jumper and shove it up your jacksie" option 👍🏻

Exactly, if were followed their advice there'd be no discussions ever. People are allowed to moan and chat and seek solidarity.

Don't buy garden furniture. Big mistake.
Now it going to be rubbish summers for the next 5 years.

I'm in Scotland and could easily have the heating on.
