This weather can get in the bin

Just seen a weather report where everyone is super excited about well above average temps.

Our local area water pressure has recently been turned down as a direct result of the drought.

Anyone else just so done with all this?

My kingdom for a cool night where I can sleep properly again!

It’s been FIVE MONTHS since I’ve been able to use a duvet.

Um I’m in London and it was down to 9 degrees this morning! Definitely duvet weather. Yes it was hot during the day but nothing an open window can’t cope with surely?

I loved the hot summer, I really did, but I’m ready for cardigans, scarves and fluffy slippers. It’s the unpredictability I’m not enjoying. Go to bed with socks on because I’m cold and wake sweating and wondering if the menopause started… nope, just mad weather.

I’d love a bit of warmth and sunshine - we haven’t seen either in Scotland.

so yes the cold, wet, windy, grey shit weather can get in the bin.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 21/09/2026 20:01

It as beautiful today! It’s cooler in the morning and evening but pleasantly warm in the middle of the day, perfect for me😎

I feel like the winter is going to be long and wet so I am enjoying every day I can walk in my shorts.

Speak for yourself - we have had plenty of both and tomorrow looks another lovely autumnal day - bright and fresh and mild

Blimey, I have put my electric blanket on a couple of times last week, it was about 24 today so won't need it tonight

caringcarer · 21/09/2026 20:04

Gorgeous day today. I love the warmer days it helps my osteoarthritis in my knees.

moonraker0 · 21/09/2026 20:04

Currently sitting under my heated throw reminiscing of summer. Absolutely hate autumn and winter.

Speaking for myself in my part of Scotland - it’s been shit

backformoreofthesame · 21/09/2026 20:14

That’s well more accurate thank you

The water issues are primarily because we don't have enough reservoirs. It rains for 7-9 months a year with flash floods, we should not be having water shortages because there is no rain for three months. It's been raining for nearly two weeks on and off where I am and I know it will start properly in October and won't stop till May so a bit of warmer weather before the long slog is welcome.
It's about 12 degrees at night which would be plenty cool for most people with a window open.
Anyway, it's just a few days and winter is round the corner. I am not looking forward to winter bills...

staytoxic · 21/09/2026 21:20

It’s been dismal and grey here in the NW for what feels like ages, well that’s when it’s not raining. I’d love to see some sun again!

MellowSubmarine · 21/09/2026 21:28

Whereabouts are you OP, because I’m in the SE and while it was pretty warm this afternoon, my car said 8 degrees when I went to work this morning. Definitely duvet temperatures this morning!

colouringindoors · 21/09/2026 21:30

Completely agree. I work as a gardener and my client's ground today is still baked hard. If we don't get a LOT of rain over the next six months, next summer won't be fun (in the SE at least)

NotSmallButFunSize · 21/09/2026 21:55

As if it's too hot for a duvet! I have used mine for most of the summer too, only had a week or so with just a sheet, it was fine!

People on here are honestly such moaners - always got "headaches" and "feel so ill" over stuff like perfume or temps over 15 degrees, it's ridiculous!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 21/09/2026 21:57

I’m in London.

Yes it’s warm, but it’s not hot like some of those days in the summer - we did have some unbearable days.

Im quite enjoying the blue skies.

I have got two duvets on my bed already!

I'm in the south. 7 degrees last night. We've had the winter blanket on, plus jammies again.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 21/09/2026 21:58

You can’t tell me this blue sky isn’t lovely?

This weather can get in the bin
TheLarch · 21/09/2026 22:00

Agree, OP. Annoying days where you have to cart a giant jumper about as it was freezing on the way to the Tube, then once 10am hit, it was absolutely boiling.

Sonolanona · 22/09/2026 00:00

6 degrees at 6am when I went off to my morning job
24 degrees this afternoon when I went off to my afternoon job😁 Wonderful!
I love these extra nice afternoons!

Theheatishot · 22/09/2026 00:10

It was so lovely today! Cool in the morning, but T-shirt weather by 9.30am. Beautiful sunshine! I’m savouring every moment to cling to for when the cold and grey comes…..

SnowFrogJelly · 22/09/2026 00:40

Lovely day today.. enjoy it
