So. Was that it? Was that Summer?

[Sparklingbrook]

We had a BBQ as well so I can take some blame too!
Not too bad here atm, after a dank miserable start followed by some drizzly rain, the sun's come out now and the temps have reached 17.7c.

Yes.

It was better than last summer! (searching for a bright side...)

SE.
Back in thermal longjohns and fleece trousers padded jacket , gloves and hood. Didn't need the hood this morning @ 9am as freezing wind had gone and felt much milder. Brighter today,but sun not managing to get through and drizzled this morning too.

Garden is bone dry and bet Tames Water will put a hose pipe ban in force as they did last year, and despite pouring rain for weeks refused to lift it

My beautiful once blooming rambler < normally blooms in May> is struggling to burst into flower

Don't worry, the weather's just holding its cards close to its chest so it's gorgeous in mid-August when we go camping in Wales [fingers crossed emoticon]

In the SW.

With the exception of Saturday, it wasn't that warm here last week although the sun did struggle through the cloud quite a bit. However, it's been raining since yesterday evening, it's about 13 degrees and the heating is back on.

I am trying to plan a large party for the summer so this weather is obviously my fault.

Nooooooooo

I've been in Poland for 4 weeks - thunderstorms, rain, flash flooding - I thought I was coming back on Saturday to some nice weather. FGS.

SE.
Was lovely on Friday but freezing on Saturday and Sunday.

Today was surprisingly warm, damp and humid

SE
Grey and dismal again this morning but 15 degrees already and wind coming from a southerly direction - if only the sun would come out, it would be a real summer's day at last.

Has anyone seen anything along the lines of a long range forecast for summer?

Was that all we're going to get??

Gawd I don't expect wall to wall sunshine in the UK but I swear it gets more miserable every summer It's SO COLD.

The sun did come out now and again this morning, but pm has been raining and drizzling. We have 17 degrees atm SE - so milder than of late.

Temps last year in June the same until the last week into July when we had that mini heatwave. In my diary for 28th June was max out 29 degrees and at 9pm indoors was 28 .
5th July max out 28 in 27.

15 degrees here. we had torrential rain this afternoon. Rivers of water running down the road.

I have got the heating on

SE. Pissing it down all day. Pissing it down now. Doubtless it will piss it down all night. Cold. Am going to bed with a cup of tea and the iPad.

There are rumblings from various forecasts that we may get some warmer weather next week. Think the continent is warming up and there is potential for some warm air to be dragged up (technical weather term). Fingers crossed, though I guess this could all change.

This summer has been woeful, I know last summer was wash-out mainly but at least we had that hot spell at the spend of May and another week or so at the end of July. I don't think last week was all that, 18ish degrees and a chilly breeze..I want some heat!!

To be honest I'm feeling a bit happier now its raining. When it stops raining in Cumbria, you find yourself getting a bit twitchy as its just not normal.

We had a good health drizzle this morning that took a break before having a light shower and now we're back to light rain.

Tomorrow my weather app says it will be heavy rain :) Hooray.

You sound like a glass half full type person baby.

Half full of rain water

Drizzle is OK for dog walks, but not for the garden or pots. We need good downpours with breaks of sunshine, like April showers in June. At last got my hose connection mended but now it's dripping at the tap connection instead. [sad

The only thing it's good for is slugs!

Is it just me, or has it been much windier than normal in the last few weeks? Even when it was sunny there was a sharp wind.

SOB :-(

Very windy last night! Sometimes in my vivid nighttime imagination, I wonder if one day, we will all be blown off the planet!

Today is glorious here for once. But I was woken up with pouring rain in the night.

Windy and drizzly today. We are being spoilt with all the different weather this week.

SE
About 1.30pm the sun came out. Didn't know what to wear for afternoon dog walk. Can't win as too hot in the the sun and just right when it went in. Cloudier now I'm home. 19 degrees in the shade and breezy here.

No rain or drizzle today. Better get the hope pipe out again
