AIBU no one should be allowed to moan about it raining next week and the future

[Njuy]

Next week it’s going to forecast rain and cooler weather. Yay! Dreading the next few days beforehand

No one should moan about it raining until the grass has turned green.

Ita so scary. One of our fires is next to a BP garage

I can't bloody wait. This heat has been an absolute killer for me this summer. I'm on meds that affect my body's cooling system so I have felt absolutely awful on days when it's topped 30 degrees. I feel like my life has been put on hold for 3 months because I've had to cancel so many things - a dentist appointment,2 medical appointments, 2 physiotherapy appointments and my DD's birthday meal,all of which fell on days that were over 32 degrees. I just could not face going out and having to travel on buses,which are a good 5 or 6 degrees hotter than outside.

Yes, they should be complaining to greedy water companies and the government who refuse to stop the massive leaks or build reservoirs, while giving massive bonuses to CEO's

Im actually considering coming off the mini pill because that can make it even worse

Where l live we have had rain during the night, about5 times ,erienc it was really hammering down. But the days have been beautiful like everyone else is experiencing. My lawns aren't too bad to be fair. We are not in a drought area, so hosepipe the gardens and plants every evening

Nope, they've just announced they are putting rates up!

In our area the weather forecast keeps predicting rain a week ahead and then it vanishes!

Would love it to happen but will believe it when I see it.

I'm not disputing any of that or saying it's tiresome.

What's tiresome is it being constantly on the news that this is happening "in the UK", making it sound like everyone is affected.

The UK is more than England.

Also this weather is a constant reminder about the sorry state of the climate. It’s deeply concerning.
Also, I feel dreadful in this weather. A bit unwell and depressed. I feel sorry for the vulnerable out there. This weather affects us all differently - some people are really, really not made for it.

I saw a woman today and very young in thick black tights and a cardigan. I could have screamed at her and asked her if she was crazy
I can't wait until it rains and then I can get a decent night's sleep

We've had some proper ninja rain today and yesterday in the Borders. Proper big fat drops. All it's done all year is rain, rain, rain and it's been cold as fuck this week barring the last 2 days. Our local reservoir is higher than normal.

Unfortunately this site is very SE focused.

I love the rain, i love all the weather mumsnet hates.
Storms, fog frost, rough winds rain dark bitter damp / wet drizzly days rougher the better.

The thing I'm worried about is if we get alot of rain the ground is too hard to take it and it'll go from drought to flash flood. We absolutely need some rain though or we're going to have big issues. Farmers I know are already dipping into their hay harvest from this year. Last year was a bad year too, followed by too much rain through winter. It's about time we got the right amount of rain!

I will never complain about the rain ever again. I mean, that’s a lie, I might. But you get my point

North coast of Scotland here - it has done nothing but rain the entire summer. Sick fed up with it. Honestly, worst summer I have known in the 20 odd years I have lived here. Everything is green and overgrown.

I do feel for everyone in their heatwaves, but fuck it's been bleak up here!

Our schools go back next week, so the sun will likely shine!

Non stop rain in Glasgow from Monday you'll be glad to hear

The last flash flood flooded our whole town and all the shops (Glastonbury) luckily for me I live outside the town. My friends houses were flooded.
I think if we get a torrential downpour it could well happen again as the ground id bone dry and hard.

Apart from the very hottest mid 30s days, Ive really enjoyed the last few weeks. I've found the weather a really nice temperature

We do news rain though, the drought is getting to be a real problem and the fires are a real issue 2 months without rain really ia too long

YANBU

AND WHEN I START MY COSY SEASON, AUTUMN WINTER APPRECIATION THREADS - I DON'T WANT ONE DISSENTING VOICE!

I feel your pain. Staines upon Thames here with all the extra heat from LHR. I thought my composite decking was going to melt !!

This drought is costing me extra as I have to feed my horse, normally don’t need to in the summer.
On a serious note the ‘bread and butter of this country’ farmers are really suffering and so will the food we eat. Food prices will go up and we’ll be relying more on imported food,

It's too late for the farmers. Arable, cattle and sheep. The swallows are departing early. The garden birds have vanished. Pets are suffering. Our mountains and many others have had terrible fires.

I can't see see an upside for the UK and Europe.

Sorry genuine q

You dont feed your horse usually?

My grass is lovely and green. I live on the Northumberland coast and am old enough to remember the tight fisted, short sighted, miserable clowns in the South East refusing to contribute to Kielder reservoir as it was an 'Unnecessary white elephant'. Guess what? My sprinklers are on all day.

The whole of Wales is officially in drought. I live in Mid-Wales and there's no mention of rain in our forecast for the next 7 days.
