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!

Ah @NeverEnoughPants if you look at the OP on other threads you will find she likes to dish it out but can’t stand being disagreed with. Threads about the weather are silly we have no control over it.

Too hot in south east England today. Would be quite happy for the sun to go in for a bit!

I'm in Cornwall and feel as you do OP. Absolutely desperate! I feel like I just can't cope with another winter after a summer like this, but I have absolutely no choice! I can't afford a holiday so haven't even got that to pep me up a bit. It stinks.

I'll tell you what else brings me down. I see on Facebook or photo memories 'this time 2 years ago' and it's DS in a pool, a sandpit, the park, me and a friend with a cocktail. I then glance out the window... pissing down 😅

Hate hate hate the idea of a heatwave now ( or ever )
Some People are actually happy about this too!

Lovely and sunnyhere in the north east; weekend was glorious too. Sun's definitely here (finally!)

Roasting here but not in a nice way. Grey sky and no sunshine.

I sympathise OP. I'm not in Glasgow and the weather in my part of NE England is okay today (albeit clouding over now...) but Thursday was literally the first day this year that the temperature reached >20%. We had to get to the fucking solstice and nights starting to draw in again before we got something approximating to summer. It's been unseasonably grey, cold and wet all spring and early summer and it really does play havoc with your mental health to never feel the sun on your skin.

I hope you get some sun and warmth soon OP and enjoy Barcelona, I'm very envious of your forthcoming break!

Cold and overcast with threat of rain in Devon. Miserable.

You started a thread about the weather, and now you're managing to take offense at the responses? We're talking about THE WEATHER. It's the definition of inoffensive small talk.

Thank you so much, and I hope you soon get a break as well. Thank you for getting what I'm saying, some people are so dense it beggars belief.

What's your point then? I thought you were saying you're upset about the weather and you think people talking about the nice weather where they are are being mean or flaunting their good fortune, much as if they came onto a thread about an unhappy marriage to say how happy they are.

Was that not what you were saying?

Do you ever wish you were back because of the weather? I wouldn't like days and months of grim and grey weather, that's enough to bring anyone down, but the SE is nearly always a couple or more degrees hotter than anywhere else and I wish it wasn't! I'd glad move northwards but as OP said:

"Oh yeah, because everyone can just upstakes and leave family, friends, job, etc. on a whim. Good lord".

Most of us have dependants or things which tie them to an area and most of the year I'm happy living here. But the heatwaves always get us first and stay longer

OP I hope you get some of our sun soon

Oh FFS. It isn't 'small talk' because I was talking about how it has been affecting my mental health. I didn't put (lighthearted) There have been so many threads like this with people having a good moan, none of them have drawn so much downright obtuseness as this one.

Outskirts of Manchester here and it's currently 25 and sunny, so it doesn't always rain in Manchester to whoever pointed that out. Plus according to the Met Office weather forecast, it's only going to last 3 days and then back to late teens/low 20s temps

For comparison, here is a thread from last year about the weather.

Boiling hot here in Enfield 😁

As I type this, the sun is very gradually coming out and I feel a smile forming on my face. I think I will go out and hope it continues to improve. Thanks to everyone who understood my point. As for the rest of you, you'll see what I mean soon enough once the heatwave ends and we're back to rain, or if it doesn't end and you get weeks of relentless heat, you'll maybe appreciate what weather can do to mental health and try not kicking someone when they're donw.

Baking in East Sussex

I don't think anyone was kicking you OP. Just saying it's sunny where they are.

NE England here - very hot and sunny, too hot infact.

Glorious here on South Coast!

In West Yorkshire we can do with 3 or 4 degrees less. It is proper boiling.

It’s an extreme reaction to a poor spring/summer OP. Surely you realise that?

I've just got myself a portable fan 8.99 on Amazon and it's making Yorkshire a much more pleasant experience today!
