Weather

It’s so cold, I just cant seem to get warm. Does no one know when or if the weather is going to improve. It’s almost June!!!

I live in the South West where it's usually milder. The outlook for the next week is bleak. Though there will be sun, the temperature will be no higher than 17...even dropping to "highs" of 13! Aaarrgghh...might as well be October.

It's going to be nice tomorrow apprently, then bad again. I hate living in this country.

[pastafreak]

So do I sometimes...but I ain't going back where I came from. I'll choose cold thank you very much.

NY had terrible winters but at least when summer came you knew it was going to be hot. Used to be like that in my youth in this country but not anymore.

Count your blessings, soft southerners, 13 - 17 is high summer in these parts. Taps aff. :-)

My brother said it was 81 on Sunday. Just right!

I also live in the south west pastafreak. I am wearing a jumper and an anorak to go out. We usually get nice weather this time of year. I am resisting putting the heating on, but I could really do with it

I was born and brought up in the SW (Atlantic coast) I don't care what anyone says, the weather when we were young was never as dire as it is now. Yes, it was in the winter but not in the summer. The Atlantic has warmed up and that causes squalls and terrible weather.

I've been down here 20+ years...I think this is the coldest. I'll be wearing socks and boots again at this rate.

One thing I`ve always said about the weather in Devon though - it might be crap but when you get a beautiful day, it's a really beautiful day.

we had a very good summer after Covid hit; people would have been a lot grumpier if they'd been unable to go out for fresh air and sun because of bad weather as well as because of Covid. But by far most of the summers I've had here have had warm but cloudy days, with the sun only appearing first and last thing to boost the sunshine hours statistic.

[237SJ]

^ Cloudy - that's the operative word. When I first came to London I couldn't stand the cloudy days. I called it nothing weather. The whole winter was like that but now the summers are as well. Very depressing.

Some might remember that before climate change was fashionable El Nino was the big talking point for our weather.
Where it flowed in a given year determined what we'd get.

Then some bright spark realised that you couldn't tax that.

seems virtually cloudless over much of England today -

forecast for the capital is partly sunny skies, with a high of 20c, its still cloudy - perhaps it will break later on

Ah, I was born and brought up in Lowestoft, the most easterly point. Oh, the lazy winds - they didn't bother to go round, they went straight through you! Straight off the North Sea. Not so bad in the Midlands, a few things in the way but I'm also cold at the moment. I thought it was old age!
