The Weather #4 Meteorology moaning

[emmer_moans]

I'm in the Midlands so so far it's been drizzly rain all day, road surface spray and wind, but not as bad as what I am seeing down south on the TV. This weather depresses me though. It went dark outside about 3pm, and I was in the office at work and it was that horrible bright office /dark windows contrast.

One thing I fear about winter is the harshness and not being able to dry my clothes as well. Although I think I'm going to be a dehumidifier in advance of Autumn/Winter. I was poorly prepped last year. The increase in bills aren't a big deal as I can wear more layers of clothing and spend time at friends/family's homes, so I can avoid hefty bills.

The London forecast is showing rain, wind and 19-22 for the foreseeable on BBC.

I'm glad it's cooled down tbh.

I'm ok with hot weather but I found that mini heatwave thing a bit oppressive up my way.

Maybe because the nights had started drawing in made it feel odd.

Fed up with this bloody miserable weather.

Thought when I was pregnant I'd have a wonderful summer getting all my washing dried on the line. Wouldn't need to worry about what coats I fitted in to until late September. Walks daily in the sunshine topping up my tan. Instead I have been using my tumble dryer constantly, I have to wear my old walking coat regularly which makes me look like a 90s grannny and I'm pale as a ghost and regularly come home from nap walks soaking fecking wet. Bah humbug.

I've got about 20 flowers total on my tomato plants. I have 4 growing. One of them was a seedling planted in February and it's barely knee height still.

Aww I feel you, was pregnant last year I’m the 40degree heat and moaned! Thought this year with baby would have lovely summer and lovely weather! Nope
Also no plants in garden, nothing has really flowered and grass is just growing due to so much rain with tiniest bit of sun

I'll admit it's been a bit parky round my way but I'd sooner this than weird unnatural heatwaves where every one moans (on here also )they're going to die or simply explode because it's so hot. I'm great with really hot weather tbf but a load aren't. Comments on here have been laughable when it gets a bit hot.

2 years ago in May the ground up here was bone dry 4 feet down. Thats completely unnatural and unsustainable tbf. I'm not even big on eco stuff but that's very concerning. Be careful what you wish for.

I hated last years heatwave but think I’m getting a bit fed up of the rain now. Can’t wait to go on holiday soon!

 

[emmer_moans]

I must admit I am sick of my scalp sweating. I have thick hair and this time of year, it’s a bit much, ugggggghhhh. I didn’t get the thunderstorm I was promised either, so it’s still really muggy.

 

[Blond3g1rl]

Technically, it's not even summer yet, it starts June 21st. This is normal spring temperatures/weather we're just so used to global warming, we expect 25 degrees by May now

Meteorological summer started 1 June.
Single digit temperatures are not normal for June!

 

[Blond3g1rl]

Oh sorry I know you didn’t lol. I was just winging

Tbf karma has bitten me in the arse. It’s shit down here today

 

[emmer_moans]

Ooof it sounds windy out there.

 

[rainbowlemon]

I think I have watched those videos actually, along with Antartica and Svalbard. If I can't be in freezing cold, next best thing is to binge watch those videos. I'm not really a heat kind of girl.

I also dislike summer. I have pain skin and it was a faff to constantly be worried about burring, covering up and overdosing on suncream.

I like cold but -32.

The rain this morning is horrendous! So sick of this, no sign of sun in the forecast here all week

Same! It’s putting me in such a bad mood too, been out today 10 degrees, absolutely no sun

 

[Tangent Tiger]

@JulesWake I'm a complete insomniac, I've often thought it would be good to have an insomniac thread on here! You are not alone (and not for preferring colder weather, either)

 

[zetta buttons]

I don’t care if I’m the only one posting on this thread. This weather is awful. I feel for everyone really suffering . We had 3 days of proper crisp autumn after muggy shit and now there’s going to be a month of rain before winter sets in.

Sick of this shit.

(Something awful happened when I was younger regarding weather that my mum and I only just really realised was probably making us hate weather so much. Won’t mention it as it’s horrid but it’s kind of validates why I can’t sleep and go into a blue funk any time it’s awful). I’ll write again soon with another moan x

 

[Maid22]

It’s lovely and sunny here

Jealous! It's pissing down here and quite cold!

 

[strawberrysunshine_x]

My garden is Drenched again. All it’s done today is rain and most of this week is saying rain as well
I didn’t realise we got monsoons in the UK now

 

[emmer_moans]

I had a lovely walk at lunch time

 

[smellsofbiscuits]

Horrendous smirrie rain on the drive to work this morning. Felt very autumnal until I got out the car. Still, as others have said, prefer this to 40 degree heat.

Electric blanket is going back on the bed tonight
