The weather

Yes, I'm a little weary of it too. However, it has become a little milder rain which is one tiny stage up from hailstones. Yep, I'm clutching at straws! As I write this there's a storm and a half going on outside. Blimey! Isn't a cosy bed a wonderful refuge?!!

It was foggy here in south Manchester first thing this morning, I couldn’t see the Pennines. Just watch, we will be allowed inside places to eat and drink from Monday and I bet after all this awful wind and rain, when we’ve all had to stay outdoors, the sun will be cracking the flags.

I have turned into my Mother as I keep saying 'we are having April weather in May' it isn't to bad here today at the moment

Fabulous on the Cornish north coast this morning! Bit changeable yesterday but it's bright sunshine & blue sky at present. Keep the faith, it'll clear up

You restore my faith Nonogran. I'm heading your way for a holiday!
Why can't we see more than a day or two of sunshine at a time?

Polzeath!! My home stomping ground?

We’ve had some lovely days here in Southend. I’ve done so much in the garden lately that I’ve got a light tan on face and arms. OH has ‘sunbathed’ a few times.
This morning was the first time this year that the heating didn’t come on. It’s set at 21.
So summers here ?

That looks so beautiful nonogran, I need to gear myself up to make the long journey from the frozen north and have a holiday there

Nowt wrong with Yorkshire weather this morning.

First post I saw this morning was saying Australian borders possibly not open until mid 2022. (DS not seen since 2018)
Second post I saw was moaning about the weather here.........really ??

I am sorry Lucca that must be so hard

Thank you.

Anybody else fed up of this weather ?
We had a really bad storm last night here in Yorkshire. I can’t remember ever having such a wet May. Suppose it’s the price to pay for having such dry April.
I’ve had to postpone my birthday lunch on Friday until next week, so at least we can eat inside ?
Any amateur forecasters out there know when it’s going to get dryer and warmer ? I want to go away but don’t want to take my coat and wellies !

As my wise granddaughter tells me “ we do live in Great Britain nanny, what do you expect”!

Sorry. I apologise for putting a downer on this thread.
Completely unreasonable of me.
I’ve had my weep now and I’ll get up and go play tennis in the glorious sunshine.

I imagine the parents of the 9 year old boy, killed by lightening yesterday, aren't too happy about the weather !

When I was stood in the playground yesterday waiting to collect my GD's, everyone was moaning about the weather. We have had some sunny days but they are always accompanied by a chilly wind. It will be nice to have some warmth.

I don't think you need to apologise. It must be so hard on you to have read about possible Australian restrictions when you must want to see your son so much.

Lin52 your GD is exactly right.

A week or so ago , people were complaining and saying how we needed rain , now they are moaning because we have too much.
My DH feels that he has has to tell me each day what the weather forecast is. I’m not interested, the weather will be what it will be. We can’t change it.

That's understandable Lucca ?. Let's hope, as things improve, Australia might have a change of heart and bring the date forward. ?

April was so beautiful here in Glasgow. We had lots of meals outside which is almost unheard of in this neck of the woods and we had to water the garden a few times.
Seems that April and May have reversed this year.
Yesterday we were on Loch Lomond and although the wind made it feel cool the thermometer was reading 18C.

lucca no need for apologies. I have two friends in the same position.

It’s certainly warmed up quite a lot here (SW London) - for what seemed ages we’d had a positively Arctic wind - and TBH we’ve been very glad of the rain - everything was terribly dry.

I'm afraid we needed the rain as I garden on heavy clay which had set like concrete! However, it can go away now and take the wind with it!

I wanted a little rain for my veg patch but it’s been ridiculous. I put my thick jumpers away two weeks ago don’t know why I bothered.
