Weather

I was soaked by a sudden rain shower this morning. It's grey, damp and not very warm here in Wales

I'm just trying to decide what to wear to go out and can't work out whether I'm warm or cold.. It's a most peculiar day down here on the S/E coast..

Sunday was beautiful and I think that we had three or four nice days in May. Otherwise, it has been grey and cold here in the East Midlands. And the rain! I have needed my hot water bottle most evenings while watching the television. It's business as usual today - cool and wet. I saw the report and agree - parallel universe indeed.

I’m having the patio re-paved. The men put up a gazebo and hoped to work 9-4 but were rained off by one. It’s going to take much longer than they estimated. One said yesterday the forecast he’d seen predicted 30 days of rain

Oh great.. I'm waiting to have my flat roof refelted and it seems to rain heavily every day.. sympathies Iam64

Best of luck pascal30. The rain here in north Manchester yesterday was heavy at times then drizzle - I’m fed up with it 😞

Its the rain, not the heat. Outside actual temperatures are likely to have been warmer but the dark clouds and lashing rain do actually cause a drop in ambient temperature. If it is cool but the sun is shining then it raises our perspectives. Nights have certainly felt cooler, it can be warm enough at the start of the night but the lower night temperatures creep in and some do wake with feeling cold

Also older age and poorer circulation hence bedsocks are a good idea.

Today I put on a thermal vest on under my summer dress and cardigan.

Did you know, the average British person spends 4 and a half months of their life talking about the weather?

I walked into town this morning without a coat, just a fleece. In the wind it was chilly, in the sun it was warm. No hood, no umbrella. It tried to rain but thankfully I got home before it did. Rain was not forecast on my weather app. I can hardly believe how hot it was last Sunday. So changeable.

I've just been to washing line, and it's really cold out there!
Horrible.

It is blowing a gale and raining in West Yorkshire.

Joseann that is surely an underestimate!

I have been gardening in the sun but it was not what you would call warm except in the greenhouse because there is such a cold wind. Came in for a cuppa and am sitting in front of the fire, it is freezing in our 120 year old house.

Just come in from the garden. I should have done more but the wind is so cold. Glad to get back indoors.

Apparently the met office say we have had the hottest spring since records began. Do they live in a parallel universe? I have been so, so cold these last couple of months. I live in london and there has been a permanent black cloud which won’t shift, apart from yesterday! Hurry up summer! We’ve even had the heating on once or twice which was unheard of for us in April/may! And it has rained and rained.

The government is leading is and they are quite obviously lying!

It has been the coldest wettest spring for several years.

This is to push the 'climate emergency' rubbish. I believe that they have been cloud seeding here to make it so wet that the famers have been unable to sow crops. Farmers are also being paid to NOT produce food in the UK, as also mentioned on 'Clarkson's Farm'. I think t's another way of keeping is fearful and controlled.

This video is an excellent place to start ...

Im in Manchester and I thought it was just me feeling cold and miserable. Still have the heating on at background level first and last thing.

I was woken by the central heating coming on this morning.

Well, Saturday was nice, Sunday half-decent…

My fingers were white with cold on the 15 minute walk home from the pub last night. I should never have put the winter hats and gloves away.

Today - raining between 9.30-10.30 but ok for dog walking. The sun made an occasional appearance and no more rain. but - why am I wearing a jumper x

I really feel the cold and at this time of year I’m usually spending a lot of time outside. I had my breakfast and lunch outside but the wind was chilly and my legs were cold under my skirt.
I know younger people don’t like to wear tights these days, but I’m going back to them (10 denier so not thick)

Good grief MadeinYorkshire! Cloud and cuckoo come to mind.

Maybe, have you looked at the documentary? Keep an open mind ...

What you cannot get away from is that immense changes are taking place in the climate, it is getting hotter and more unstable all over the world

Whether this is manmade change or natural change is actually irrelevant. What we do need to do is to stop human activity making the situation worse. Hence we need to move away from human activities that aggravate the situation. These can be as basic as stopping the removal of forests and jungles and planting more trees, to reducing our consumption of hydrocarbons.
