Awful Spring 2021.

[William51]

This is the worst spring weather i can remember. Anyone remember a similar one ?.

[Sunk]

They said April was the worst since 1918, and they say May will be worst since records began. So if there is anyone who remembers worse they are lying, or exceedingly old.

Sorry, it’s making me grumpy.

[Ellipsis]

No, it's autumnal.

June next week! Let's hope it's flaming hot and not flaming rubbish.

Who said?

[ToraToraTora]

what happened to global warming eh?

[jno]

last year was the sunniest spring ever, more than 100 hours more sun than any other, as I recall. And just when it was needed too, as it gave people the opportunity to leave home in comfort at the start of lockdown. It's just that the swings are wilder.

What's it got to do with global warming? It's not particularly cold, just wet.

During the war.....strokes beard thoughtfully. Come to think of it no.

^^^TTT doesn't know the difference between climate and weather...

[jno]

you don't need a weatherman to know which way the rain falls

[bluemoon1]

gingejbee, I don't think all the scaremongers know the difference between climate and weather either.

When we get a few warm months they are all over the news telling us that this is what we can expect due to climate change, however when the reverse happens they don't say a word and rely on people like you discounting the crap they spout.

1817 was bad --- starvation worsened by the end of the Napoleonic War and bad harvests

1886 Kraktoa - the year withhouta summer

[Peter Pedant]

well 1947 was very bad

[brainiac]

Last May - when we all had to endure full lockdown, with nothing to do - was glorious. I remember writing in my diary on the 31st that not a drop of rain had fallen in my village for the whole month. This May it has rained every day.

Forecast pretty good from Wednesday onwards, though....

[Ellipsis]

What happened to global warming? They renamed it "climate change" and we're seeing it now.

It snowed at a cricket match at Buxton in June. Which year?
