To be so sick of this rain

Fed up with wet garden everytime I go out to feed my birds. Now a puddle in front of their feeders that hang off the washing line I cannot use. So slip & slide balancing feeders & walking stick. My poor pigeons all look so fed up sitting on my roof waiting for their turn. All are wet obviously poor little things but are happier when their food is out! Be so much better with a bit less rain & bit more sun hopefully soon 🤞🤞

Check out geo-engineering. Its all by design. The UK govt have invested £50million towards solar geo-engineering to dim the sun. The company carrying this out is called ARIA .
The sky spraying is rife all over the UK and other continents. It has been banned in some US states. Everyone’s talking about it. Many are suffering with headaches, sinus and respiratory issues.

Oh for goodness sake. Are you wearing a tin hat these days? What a load of rubbish. Do you also think Covid was a scam?

Such dismal weather…rain 🌧️ ☔️ , rain and more rain.
My lovely young neighbour (only 54) has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. They are all devastated.
All in all, I feel quite sad 😢

All good luck to your neighbour. My daughter had it diagnosed 3 years ago (she was 44 at the time). Treatment these days is amazing and she is currently simply getting on with her life. A year after her, I too was diagnosed - (different version, mine is lobular) and again, amazing treatment and life is going on. It's all so much better than it used to be.

The mud is so exhausting. I dread dog walks, their feet are fluffy mud magnets.

It’s 18 years today since my mastectomy at age 51. It was my wedding anniversary too (the marriage had ended, but we remained friends and he supported me, and our children, throughout).

The sun was shining as I woke that morning, and although skies are so gloomy lately, it WILL shine again. I wish your neighbour the very best.

Ditto..sick of greu skies,wind and rain

Why did our MPs spend so much time debating this issue.
They debated it because a petition was handed in.

However with respect to Robin202 ‘s post geo-engineering is a real thing… I agree that the changing weather patterns in general are from climate change , but Trump is now removing environmental safeguards the idiot! He’s removing safety regulation to free fossil fuels, etc, to pollute the USA ( and the world) . There is little or no regulation on geo engineering atm, which may indeed be adding to pollution and health issues, but has no effect on major weather patterns…that IS down to climate change and Trump thinks it’s a hoax ( or says he does to benefit from his personal contributions from the CEOS in the coal and other pollutant industries. He doesn’t care about the health of the American people or the World crisis… after all it won’t affect HIM will it!

My daughter lives in South Eastern Spain and says it's been much colder and wetter there too.

No Sky ‘spraying’ here in Wales… apart from the rain, and more rain!

Robin202 Weather patterns can look intentional, but the evidence we have points to natural variability and climate change rather than deliberate manipulation

Hear hear! US is so rife with conspiracy theories!

It's Wales here - need I say more? #sighs

Added thing being - I'm from southern England and that means that often if I take a look out the door that I change my mind about going out. Yep....I still make all the same decisions I used to about going out - followed by a lot of "abort plan....abort...it's Wales here" anyway. So this winter has been a dire one for me...

Ditto… S Wales here…rain and more rain constantly, stops for a bit then starts again! Grrrrr

And it is staying lighter later.

Actually if you look at the weather sites, at least here in the south east, the weather is day by day getting drier over the next couple of weeks. There may be rain but not so much of it. 😄

You should try living in Wales......

Quite a bit of flooding around here so sorry for people who have lost homes and businesses.

Count our blessings

Is it terrible when you have a dog that needs to go out every day and is perpetually covered in mud. I’ve now got back problems from having to wash him every day and I’m paying out to see a chiropractor so this rain, relentless rain is actually costing me money.

Get a rainproof coat for him, then you just need to clean legs and paws.

I too do not love the frequent rain and mud - but actually when I think that I am safe, have a roof over my head, food in the fridge......can see trees and daffodils........and there are people facing war, homelessness, hunger, grief........I look at it differently. I have been sent this sentence : " There are at least a billion people in the world who would swap their life with yours in a heart beat". I do understand that grey skies can be depressing - I am not immune - but........

We are desperate for rain here in the Midlands in South Africa. Rain would be such a blessing.

It’s not just the rain it’s the bloody grey sky all the time. I’m not a conspiracy nut by any means but it just doesn’t seem normal.

Wish you could send some here. We are having a drought here in Great Brak River and have put a bucket in the shower and use the 'grey water' for my plants but fighting a losing battle. My prized olive trees are looking very unhappy. Oh dear, what can a person do?

SallyWally1 This is what it's been like where I live:

Based on data from the University of Reading, January 2026 was not the wettest January since records began, but it was exceptionally wet and set other records.

Here are the key details for your area as of early February 2026:

Ranking: January 2026 was the fourth-wettest January in almost 120 years of data, with 121 mm of rainfall recorded at the University of Reading.

Previous Records: Only January 1939, 1995, and 2014 were wetter in that 120-year period.

Record-Breaking Spell: While not the highest total, January 2026 set a new record for the longest unbroken spell of daily rain, with 25 consecutive days of rain, beating the previous 1934 and 1970 records.

Context: For the 29 days beginning 6 January, 135 mm of rain fell in the area—more than double the expected amount for that period.

While it was not the absolute wettest in terms of total volume, the relentlessness of the rain made it an historic, standout month for the area.

In one week, where we had rain here every day and no sunshine, my friend in Essex, where I moved from 2.5 years ago, said she had had sunshine and managed to dry her washing outside 3 days that week! Why did I move?!!! (I moved to be near my daughter and her family).

Devon was bright today, just a few showers.
Tomorrow looks like a bumper sunny day. 🌞
