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.

My 17-year old cat makes me open all our doors just in case the weather is better behind one of them, Then she huffs and goes back to bed.

Er massive fires, extreme floods in Australia? Climate crisis will affect the whole world to a greater or lesser degree

Totally opposite here in the SE. Every single photo of June and July is of me with a tan in shorts and tshirt.
Literally can’t remember in my whole life wearing a thick jumper and jeans with a jacket on top in July

There is a thing called SAD it's usually when autumn kicks in people start to feel low and depressed because of the lack of vitamin d. I usually get it during the winter months I feel low and gloomy as such. I totally get this post, we have literally had maybe a week altogether of sunshine this year and it sucks! I'm in the same boat can't afford to go abroad even though I would love too. I do feel as though the week we have had is all we are getting this year 😔

Yawn.

I can remember an awful lot of summers. This has been amongst the shittiest ever.

Insulting people never successfully gets a point across. Maybe you should remember that.

I’m still wearing wellies and waterproof trousers to walk the dog. Miserable!

Though I did have a laugh when we got our parish magazine that had an article in it on how to ‘prepare for a hosepipe ban in summer’. Someone was taking the piss

This is what climate change is.
The climate is changing.

It used to be cold in winter, hot in summer, and temperate in spring and fall.

Now it has changed.

Hence, climate change.

And this is what it is now.

If you don't like this planet, there are other plan...oh...

I don’t even need the sun, I’m done with the rain, I swear all it’s done is rain 90% of the time since October. I’m good with the 20oC, the rain just needs to do one. I shouldn’t be having to bring a raincoat anywhere this much in bloody July 😞

Actually think it might be my fault. I bought my little DD a massive paddling pool, and used the tyre pump to blow it up....not sure we'll be using it at this point

Yep. And you know that nice few weeks we had in May? I had whooping cough for the whole lot of it and could barely get out of bed or stop throwing up. Then another virus just as I was starting to feel a bit more human. Oh, and a mega flare of my chronic health condition all April. Not only has the weather been dismal, I have been ill for the entire spring and summer. Violin for me pls.

This is climate change, get used to it, and brace yourself because it's going to be a wet and very windy autumn.

The oceans are too warm.

Its all so heavy and grey, like living inside a tear drop.

I keep saying to people all the time, the poor farmers 😞. We appreciate what you do so much 💖

It's odd how localised it is though. I live on the coast in Cumbria and today is the first proper rain we've had for a couple of weeks. Last week and Monday were glorious - we've been watering the garden! It's made up for it today though. I'm sorry your holiday is being spoiled.

I'm back in my long winter dressing gown, furry slipper socks and for the second night running, I've got the electric blanket back on the bed.

Duvet is 13.5 tog and blanket doubled over on the end of the bed. I have to have weight on my feet or they get cold and then I can't sleep.

Yes this is what is chipping away at me. I can handle rain, cold, wind and whatever else by turns...but the relentless heavy grey is like a damp, dark blanket over everything. It's muffling my spark.

Climate change could very well be the reason for the constant windy conditions though! Climate change doesn’t just mean heat, it is disrupting all weather patterns and norms.

Mud, mud and fucking more mud with gardens doing their own shit and growing what they fancy.

YANBU

I live very far south so we get probably some of the most decent weather in the UK. I'm an autumn/winter person.

But despite these 2 things, I am also sick of this weather! I want summer! Nice 25 degrees, blue skies and sun please.

I can't appreciate autumn if it's just one long dirge of grey rain and wind all year bloody long.

I absolutely get I’m a weirdo. I do love the sun (especially because I live by the sea) but I also love a good rain storm. I sleep in the attic of my house and I bloody love falling asleep to rain on the velux! Also, I’m extremely anti crowds and where there’s rain, there’s no people! I do feel for you though. Here’s hoping for some more sun soon x

Climate change, stop moaning and do something, it will just get worse.

This isn't climate change. Yet.

It's El Nino and it's a fucking pita. Loads of things cancelled, slugs eating all my fucking plants. And to top it off really bad hay fever.

More fool me for voting Starmer for change.

I think I may also be to blame. After going a bit mad with foreign holidays since the pandemic, we thought it would be nice to stay in the UK this year...

@DAZZlanch that does sound lovely mind!

No fucking pumpkin spiced latte is ever going to make up for it come Autumn.
