To feel like this about the fucking weather?

[whatweather]

I feel like we’ve had about six days of sun since last October. I am so fucking fed up of it. The nights are already drawing in again!! No money to go abroad so that’s out of the question. I just want to have the doors open, flip flops on, to dry clothes outdoors. I honestly feel it’s making me depressed with constant grey skies.

No, you are not alone. But as you already know you are so important, and please do what you can to carry on.

"Can you not sort it out human?"

Why do you think the weather was so good during lockdown 2020? Coincidence?! Or perhaps because the weather controllers couldn't do it from home...! 🤔

I blame the Tories, although if Starmer doesn't do something to brighten things up before our week in Torbay next month I shall be seriously regretting my vote for him. (I did ask my Reform UK candidate about his party's plans for the weather, but he just muttered something about chemtrails.)

It’s awful. I actually had a serious conversation with DH about whether moving to somewhere like Australia was a viable option with our careers. If this is what climate change means for the U.K. I can’t stay here long term

Sadly I think many will look back at this weather and long for it. Especially our children. Be careful what you wish for.

20 degrees would do. I'm another who Wilts above 25 but a bit of warm dry weather wouldn't go amiss.

I made a chicken stew for dinner and ended up with condensation on the windows when I reduced it.

I have close family in Australia. What do you think climate change will look like there?

😂😂 I feel your pain. I made chicken soup.

Oh bless you.

You really don't understand that 'climate change' doesn't actually mean beautiful balmy sunny days forever.

It means CLIMATE CHANGE

nah

I feel like I need to shout this to the idiots in the back. We live in a temperate maritime climate.

Here is some GCSE-level geography: The UK has a temperate climate. In general, this means that Britain gets cool, wet winters and warm, wet summers. It rarely features the extremes of heat or cold, drought or wind that are common in other climates. The weather conditions are also very changeable.

Can we all not just be glad that we don't live somewhere that experiences extremes in weather?

Sorry, but the whinging in this thread really made me wonder if people really understood the island that they all live on.

We’ve also had this conversation

Apart from those who have moved to areas plagued by wildfires

The way he has got his paws on the bed. 😂 He has done that before. Or she. Beautiful cat.

I see the human slugs are out in full force!

ok

Currently sat in a caravan in Norfolk. Yesterday listening to the rain hammering against the metal all day while also listening to DH asking the reason why we aren't in Ibiza seemed liked a particularly long day if I'm honest! I do think this will be the last I book a UK holiday again, I'm just so fed up of rain literally each and every time.

It's entirely my fault I'm afraid, I booked a U.K. holiday for this weekend coming, had hopes of spending time with DD on a lovely stretch of beach, not too hot, just building sandcastles, eating icecream or a cone of chips with lashings of salt and vinegar, popping in and out of the arcades to sink a load of money into the claw machines and buying sticks of rock from the souvenir shops,

So it makes perfect sense that it's forecast to be grey, drizzly, chilly and generally fucking miserable weather.

Absolutely agree, literally feel so down about the weather at the moment.
Absolutely boils my piss when we get a bit of sun and people start with the 'it's too hot' nonsense, fuck off!!!

@loststoryteller every day to check the weather. He sniffs the air then eye rolls and goes back to bed

Not idiots, but many don’t understand and think this is as bad as it gets.

Omg yes

The people who allegedly can’t sleep in anything over 8 degrees

Get a grip

In my 5 decades of noticing such things, I don't remember ever before having an entire year that is so persistently soggy.

As PP have mentioned, farmers are worried abut their crops. Nothing exotic, just normal traditional British crops. It's been a great year for asparagus but the fresh peas seemed to be over in a week.

I've got summer clothes that didn't make it out of the wardrobe LAST YEAR, and still haven't this year either... I treated myself to some new sandals this spring and I think I've worn them twice. I need to get my field cut for hay and I can't (which will have dire consequences £££ for me if I don't, as I will have to pay a fortune to buy it in), I'm getting fat as I'm not doing all the outdoor stuff I'd usually do and to top it all off my house has got a mould problem because it's been so wet - fuck this stupid bloody weather!!
