(Obviously I mean ‘these days’ as in ‘recent years’ rather than ‘during this hot summer’ 😂)

Redsparkleydeeleyboppers · 22/07/2026 19:54

I’m not too keen on winter but I also don’t enjoy summer especially with these dreadful heatwaves.

What I’m really looking forward to is September and October, I’d happily reside in those two months for eternity.

I love winter but we very rarely get those sorts of frosty mornings these days. Twenty years ago, used to get loads of them most winters. Don't think we had one last winter.

We get hardly any frost these days but I know what you mean. I’m loving forward to, or at least hoping gfor, days and days and days of rain.

Yesss although I have always loved winter and hated summer. I loved going out early as we love in the countryside last year and seeing the frost on the fields and trees.

CurlewKate · 22/07/2026 20:00

we haven’t had a frost where I live for 2 years!

feellikeanalien · 22/07/2026 20:00

The reality is more likely to be damp, grey and cold. No thanks.

That pelting rain that covers the window and lasts all night

And then a frosty cold morning straight after (not likely ofc) would be my dream winter

I'm so bored of summer already...I don't mind the heat but I'm bored of ⛱️ food and ⛱️ clothes and I'm bored of light evenings..
I love autumn and winter

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. SUMMER IS THE BEST!

I don't want the horrible miserable cold weather! I bloody hate winter, hardly any daylight, constantly freezing cold, and fucking 'crisp' days! Hmm

Victorius19 · 22/07/2026 20:04

I love autumn the most, the smell of garden bonfires, blackberries and crispy frosty mornings. But I must say that I think I've finally acclimatised to this weather and am now enjoying it. We've been able to leave the garden furniture cushions out for weeks which is unheard of, though our poor lawn is scorched beyond all hope.

Ran out of things to do already, dd will be having unlimited trips to the swimming pool, the park and to smyths to buy a toy 😳😬

Its too light of an evening

Too many fucking flies

Constantly eating for some reason

Too hot

I’m with @PrettyLittleRose i would much rather have summer every day, especially the 32 degree days. I hate it when it’s freezing outside and you have to wear loads of clothes.

Yes! I mean 25-27C does me, but I don't mind the 32C days. I hate the winter, I hate the cold, I hate it being dark at 3.45pm, and I really wish I could go abroad for November, December, and January, (or hibernate!)

Gertibear · 22/07/2026 20:13

Noooooooooo. Nothing worse than cold and dark. I was clearly never meant to live in this country. I am a summer person.

Disturbia81 · 22/07/2026 20:14

I’m a cold weather woman but last winter was so rainy. Give me those crisp cold days! I love wearing boots and coats

Noooo sorry to be the misery here but …

Up here in the true north of the UK - northern Scotland - and not having access to gas, at the mercy of global oil prices thanks to Trump especially, I am dreading colder days and particularly November to end March.

Been eking out my heating oil as I’m expecting it to cost hundreds of pounds more for each fill, which cannot be less than 500 litres. No cap on heating oil! You hear about help but it’s only for people on certain benefits. Just being a pensioner on the so called pension benefit doesn’t count. I have saved but honestly I really worry for many people up here unless the price goes down or wilder help is available

From all the comments I’m guessing you’re mainly in England and also mainly the southern half

Sorry!!!!!!

inkgirl · 22/07/2026 20:32

I can't wait but then I'm right down the south of the uk so it gets rather hot here. Thankfully last few days its not been too bad
