This weather!! I could SCREAM!!

[MsLuxLisbon]

WHERE is the sun?!! It is ludicrous, I don't remember a June like this for years and I keep depressing myself with the fucking BBC weather app. They promised sunshine and warmth and now they are saying rain, rain, rain. How on earth is anyone supposed to cope? I am going to Barcelona in a few weeks, and I am counting the seconds. AARGH!

Will happily swap. It’s roasting here! I’m already longing for Autumn.

Humid, sunny intervals and 25here.

Heatwave, what heatwave?!
Shite here in Wiltshire 22 degrees and completely overcast. Same yesterday. Forecast for the next couple of days not much better.

My thermometer tells me it's 19 to 20 in my house but I am wearing a thick cardigan and have a blanket over my legs. The wind has a right bite today even though the sun has finally made an appearance. I can tell by the plants in the garden how rubbish the weather has been as they are all stunted in growth this year.

Is this where we complain about it being 25°C in the Highlands? ☀️🥵🔥
Will happily send it south for you OP, I've no the claes for it!

If they want less people to use their more comfortably air conditioned cars................

I'm burnt!! We live in the wettest part of the u.k!

I don’t really understand these sort of weather threads. Some people like warm weather and sun, some people hate it- none of us can do anything about any of it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Climate change has probably already been mentioned, but obviously it’s a factor. Our weather is likely to continue to get more extreme and more unpredictable. We can all help to look after the planet in small ways.

Poor weather can affect mental health, but unlike other things that can affect MH (work, relationships etc), we can’t do anything about the weather so the onus is on us really to find some sort of acceptance. Either that or just continue to get vexed every time the weather isn’t doing what we want it to.

My MH suffers in the winter- not the weather but the short daylight hours. There’s nothing I can do about that, apart from relocating to somewhere nearer the equator. I don’t really want to do that so instead I have to find strategies to help me get through a dark UK winter. There would be no point me coming onto MN to get angry about the fact it’s getting dark at 4pm

It is lovely in SE England today though, just in case no one’s mentioned that yet 😉

😂😂at the South West being under a heat alert....the highest temperature forecast in this part of it is....brace yourself....22 degrees. Hardly worth a "heat alert" IMO.

My friend in Edinburgh tells me its cloudy but very warm with blue sky betwen the clouds.

Today? It’s 27 and sunny here

26 on the NE England coast today. I'm in my shorts I'm the garden after and early dart from work. DS abd his mates are on the ⛱️

As mentioned according to my friend its warm & sunny in Edinburgh today with cloud & blue skies 🤷‍♀️

Not South Wales it hasn’t. Grey. Humid and unpleasant. Bit of drizzle first thing.

Very warm but grey/overcast in Fife at the moment.

In Oxfordshire it's warm but very cloudy. Seen the sun about twice. Certainly no heatwave.

Southwest here. Mild but very overcast. Same yesterday. Bloody depressing.

Totally get you OP. We are similar in Belfast in that our best and sunniest months are often May and June ("exam weather" means hot and sunny around gcse times!).. And this year has been just grim. Just grey and much cooler than normal. It's not about comparing to other hotter places it's about comparing your normal to this year and this year for some of us has been crap compared to our normal.
Not needing the heady heights of 20+ 🤣 just a bit of blue sky and temperatures of 16 - 18 would do us all rightly. Hold the faith.. Maybe this year it will be summer in July for us!
Ps Belfast is actually really lovely finally yesterday and today. I'll wave some your way!

I am in South Wales and even though overcast it’s really warm and humid .

Don’t say that! I’m at the Foo Fighters tomorrow!

It's TOO hot here in tgr, North West!

Sweating my backside off in 24 degrees, had the heating and fleece sheets back on last week, zero chance to acclimatise! 🥵

Similar in Norfolk, summer started just in time for the exam marking period. Thanks!

Glasgow. Figures. I was in the US and had joined a day tour in SF. We were introducing ourselves to the tour operator, a Morgan Freeman look alike. Glaswegian introduces himself and Mr Faux Freeman, dramatically points to the sun. "Bet you havent seen that much in your life, enjoy it while you can Sir!"

Sounds grim OP
