Weather

You need to live in the north east we don’t get summer just lighter days,

Going by GN alone, I too would say parallel universe.

I can attest to that, im in Southend. My partner absolutely loves the heat, but: we have been laying a new deck ( and all that’s involved in that) just yesterday he had to stop and come in at 2 in the afternoon.
This hasn’t been every day recently but a lot of days have been exceedingly hot.

It’s been very chilly in north Norfolk. A lovely day yesterday, back to wearing my jacket for gardening today. And apparently more wind and rain tomorrow.

petra I am just up the road from you, we had to shut the French doors yesterday afternoon as it became chilly.

Still have winter duvet on, and the hearing came on Friday as it was bloomin freezing…

I am in Central Scotland and the last few days have been unusually glorious. However, the forecast for the coming week is for snow on high ground. My poor wee plants are on for a beating.

I think the Met office says this, not because we have had lots of warm weather but because we have had no really cold weather; very few frosts, no snow, so the lack of low temperatures balances against the equally missing higher temperatures.

It’s been the cold north wind which has really got me down and really made me feel quite depressed which sounds so trivial when there are people with real problems and clinical depression out there.

I’ve been in Spain for the best part April and May and since returning have only just changed to summer silk duvet and Egyptian cotton after a whole six months of wool duvet and flannelette bed linen!

This would normally happen beginning of May so summat’s not right….

I'm just down the road from GrannyGravy and I've been cold enough to have the heating on, several times.
Not one warm enough day here, and I usually enjoy cooler weather.

Here in Essex it’s been wet wet wet and wetter, grey and dull, but fairly warm.

I’m just up the road from you too. I don’t feel the cold so sometimes I’m short sleeves when everyone else has a sweater.

We've had one nice week here in the North West so far this year. Apart from that it's been between either dull, cold, windy, rainy, or all four together. Dreadful weather.

Sorry, that 'between' slipped in there somehow.

Mid Norfolk here and have had heating on most days, wind and rain.
Another damp day today.

Not cold in N Suffolk, just grey and miserable. Perfect weather for the weeds to grow .

Just had to show off my weather, for those who like pictures. Sorry!
6 am this morning and the sunshine is already breaking through. Not particularly that far from the UK either.

We had our summer on Saturday, now back to rain or on a good day light showers.

Cold & wet again here in Sefton., We've had very little warm &/or dry weather. When it's not been actually raining the best we've had has been mizzle (a cross between drizzle & mist) and mild.

I’m in the north west, it’s been grey, overcast, rainy and chilly since last October, with the welcome exception of an occasional day.
I read the statements about the warmest May and wondered which bit if the UK I’d could refer to. It’s another grey, dismal, damp morning here.

There is a bit of drizzle and breezy here, but it is quite warm

I am in the north east and my heating is on every morning and I am still wearing bedsocks.
Our summer usually consists of the odd sunny day but that is usually followed by sea fret at the coast.
I have worn my sandals once this year so far.

I'm still wearing my winter sweaters! My summer dresses and floaty tops are all ready to go but the weather has been so poor I've only managed to wear one dress on one day. I live in Hadrian's Wall Country and pity the walkers having to tramp through all the rain.
DH put the heating on for an hour this morning.

I'd optimistically put away my thermals and now I'm trying to find where I've put them. I've never stopped wearing my bed socks and the electric blanket goes on for a short while until the bed is cosy enough to keep my feet warm.
