And thick grey skies every day and the cold! It saps any joy. Roll on summer!

It was so warm yesterday, bordering on hot that he was jet washing the deck and walkways topless.
Today he said the shorts were coming out.

Scotland here, enough said. Just want a bit of daylight 😢😢

Beautiful couple of days here in Perth. Woke up this morning to another day of beautiful sunshine streaming in.

thank you for having the courage to post about the conspiracy nonsense that is being promoted that I, sadly, think is speeding up the demise of the entire human population.
I am always depressed at the complaints about the rain etc when I know that from the 1990s we were told that we were heading for a warmer, wetter world and we should be complaining to the governement, not each other. Many nations are taking action, France are making amazing changes.
For information sake, here is the Met Office thoughts on geoengineering:

Doubtless the idiots without a qualification to their name will still insist that they know better than 99% of the world's scientists including the Met Office. I just hope those idiots will be around one day to just see the terrible effects their stupidity has caused.

Hot in Adelaide and desperate for rain.

“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?”

Yawn……..
Still using that old cliched phrase ‘tin foil hat’, like it’s 2012 and nobody’s heard it before. It says to me you still have your head firmly in the sand, your fingers in your ears and your blinkers are pulled tight.
None so blind as those who refuse to see.
I shall not waste my time showing you multiple links on decades of documented evidence on geo-engineering/cloud seeding/weather manipulation programmes whether you pay attention to it or not.

If your response to anything that challenges you outside your comfort zone, is to dismiss it with cheap labels and insults, there really is nothing more to be said.
Some wake up -
Some stay fast asleep and are content with their finger permanently on the snooze button.

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.

India, Australia, China, Canada, Russia are all looking at this rubbish as you refer to it.
I believe that if ( big if) it does come to fruition ( not in our lifetime) it will be a greater threat than globalisation.
Would you believe The Guardian?

No you are not being unreasonable!

Jojo1950 Sun 01-Mar-26 18:26:02

We definitely do!!!!!

Nannan2 Sun 01-Mar-26 17:37:44

We have rain all the time nearly.Lancashire.

Stillness Sun 01-Mar-26 17:24:27

You can easily look online about ARIA and geoengineering but personally, I’m not connecting it to the uk weather this winter. I don’t think you’re being unreasonable to be sick of the rain. But for me, it’s the lack of sunlight. I feel tired, depressed and not that well. I’m sure the sun that hopefully we’ll get soon, will make us feel better all round but we do need more than just the odd day of it!

SillyNanny321 Sun 01-Mar-26 16:57:48

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 🤞🤞

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.

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.
