I realise this will just be a comment that affects those of us who live in the East of England but is anyone else fed up and worn out with this constant north easterly wind. I’m putting the fire on every evening and still feeling I need to dress like winter during the day in spite of the sunshine! It’s starting to make me feel a bit depressed and I know if the wind changes direction and it gets too hot I’ll be complaining about that too 😂 but I’m just so cold all of the time! Anyone else fed up with it?

Believe it or not, Dartmoor is the same. It is warm in the sun when it drops but so cold when it blows...

Same here in Essex, it’s overcast today (the sun is trying to shine through)with a cold wind, but as soon as the wind stops it’s rather pleasant.

Agree, I live in Essex and chill wind again today and hardly any sun. Still using my hot water bottle like others. It is a bit depressing to think that we are not far from the longest day! Fingers crossed for DD's wedding on Saturday which is in Sheffield.

South Hampshire and I have changed from shorts to jeans and an anorak. Lovely in the sun but the wind is cutting. My fleece on my legs in the evening as well

The weather doesn’t warm up properly until after the longest day. The earth and the oceans haven’t warmed up yet.

Definitely a chilly wind here in the north east of Scotland, but that fine by me, can’t stand the heat. 🥵

I live in the Highlands of Scotland, absolutely fed up with very strong cold winds from the West, for the past fortnight, today they eased up and it actually felt summery, obviously now the tide must hu turned and again it's very windy. Obviously not only England that are suffering from wind, excuse any pun!🤭🌬️

I agree with everyone that thinks it has gone on for long enough!!! Love the sunny days when the skies are blue and cloudless, but when that cloud comes over and the continual breeze blows, it’s so cold!!! Got my heating back in today!

Grim dark clouds hanging over us all the time.Never had to wear thick jumpers in June that I can remember. Very very depressing

BlueBelle Tue 30-May-23 18:14:08

I m sitting here for the evening with my hot water bottle and thick winter cardy on
Bloody cold weather I m totally fed up with it, east East Anglia

We had a trip into London today, planning a picnic beside the Thames next to the Houses of Parliament. It was so cold next to the river, we had to retreat and find somewhere a bit out of the wind. Even then it was a quick eat and go!

I am wearing a summer dress - with a thermal vest underneath and a big thick cardigan on top, plus thermal socks

Turned our heating back on tonight. I was cold in bed last night too. I am fed up with this weather too. We have had a few nice hot days in the last month but nowhere near enough and it has still not been warm enough to sit outside in the evenings.

I find myself envying your cold wind. Temperatures in the US Midwest are in the 33 to 35 C range this week with humidity at 65 to 80% predicted. I have had to turn the air conditioning on.

Greenfinch Wed 31-May-23 07:28:09

I sympathise Quichette. I would much rather have our cooler and windy weather. Too hot and I can’t do a thing!

Foxygloves Wed 31-May-23 07:32:56

A fine drizzle here this morning too.
And we still have flaming June to come! 🔥 ☀️

According to the Times photo page 12, yesterday was Britain’s hottest day this year. You lucky people in Stourport on Severn.

Like others we had to put the heating on last night, it’s cold in the E Midlands.

M0nica Wed 31-May-23 08:14:07

I think it is the unvarying consistency of the wind and the weather this year that is so debilating.

Usually one of the features of British spring is the inconsistency of the weather, one day snow showers, the next day the temperature hits 20, 2 days rain and then a week of warm sunshine, but this year it has been cloudy, with little sunshine, and a cold ENE wind for months. The only thing that has changed is that it has stop raining.

We are British, we cannot cope with consistent weather!1

Cold drizzle, grey and miserable again here on NE coast... so depressing .

silverlining48 Wed 31-May-23 09:28:10

It’s another grey and windy day here south of London. sad

pascal30 Wed 31-May-23 09:34:23

Sunny with blue skies here in Brighton but today we have a strong cool wind as well..

Ilovedragonflies Wed 31-May-23 09:35:53

I'm south Norfolk and it's grey skies here again today. I have to say I don't mind that it's not roasting hot - my flat becomes an oven when it is - but I'd love the blue skies back. They lift my mood and walking the dog is much more pleasant as he bumbles along, happily sniffing the flowers. People seem happier when it's sunny, even if it's chilly.

Same here in Witney. Got the summer clothes out on Sunday and now wearing vest, T-shirt and cardigan and have put the heater on in my garden office. Fed up is just right.

Callistemon21 Wed 31-May-23 10:52:45

I've put my vest back on GrammarGrandma 😀

Where's this wall to wall sunshine we were promised all over half-term? It's very grey here today and the wind was definitely chilly yesterday.

Soon enough we won't be lighting the fireplace. Then people will complain to the heat - will have never been so hot etc. Things change!
