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?

You're not alone Nannysprout, I get fed up with it too especially when I see the temperatures else where in the UKhmm.

I never complain about it being too hot; love it when it happens.

Oh heck bluebelle. What a shame. They’re closer to Suffolk, I’ve photos of them back in April enjoying warm sunshine when we had persistent cloud and frightening torrential rain, floods too close for comfort. Totally dry there. Today apparently they have cloud and it’s chilly, 18 degrees and rising in bright sun here. It is windy but close to the coast as we are it always is, often with the heavy cloud I so dislike. We live in a varied land for sure.

Honestly, some people just look for something to complain about!
It's actually very pleasant at the moment....sunshine but not too hot. The Easterly breeze helps to keep the air fresh and blows my washing nicely.

For once living in the North west is paying off sunny days bit of a cool breeze and fantastic views instead of the constant stream of cold and cloudy/wet weather .
I've even taken my vest off,though the poor plants except the lavender are all suffering.
Many years ago I left the area for the North East I was the only student who arrived with a pair of wellies we lived in them,everyone else had good leather boots.smile

No, it doesn’t get as far as SW Wales. Lovely here

LadyGracie Mon 29-May-23 08:35:58

Here in South Wales we've been having beautiful weather, up to 23°. There is a breeze blowing through the trees this morning but the sun is lovely and warm.

We seem to have had this wind since Christmas. We have just returned from a trip to France, Normandy. and it has been consistently colder and the wind even stronger there - again since Christmas.

We went to Normandy for a week, I arrived in summer clothes and a light jacket and as soon as I got there I got back into my winter clothes.

Mid Norfolk,and cant get warm at all,have put it down to blood thinners after THR.
Hot water bottle and throws over me,from early evening.
Wind is gusting outside and we might get to 15°later if we are lucky.

Bridie22 Mon 29-May-23 07:00:44

Awh really! The sun is shining temptingly through the window...Best get a clean woolly out again🥶🥶

BlueBelle Mon 29-May-23 06:27:55

Just been out to the bin and the east wind nearly took my head off 😬

NanaDana Mon 29-May-23 06:00:00

Sunny again in bonny Berwick upon Tweed this morning, but dropped to 4 degrees C overnight, with a high of 17 forecast today. Planted out a couple of dozen geraniums two days ago, but pleased to say they're OK. Some ground frost inland apparently. Looks like this cool, sunny weather in the East is likely to continue for a few more days yet.

BlueBelle Mon 29-May-23 05:30:56

Well I live just outside Norfolk and don’t know what your family were smug about cornergran I don’t think I ve felt warm yet so far this year

cornergran Mon 29-May-23 01:40:58

In this coastal part of the South West it’s often (usually) windy. After a still period the return of the wind has shifted the grey cloud and torrential showers plaguing us for what felt like forever. Clear skies and sunny days are very welcome, even if there is a chilly wind. Our island certainly varies East to West, North to South. Family in Norfolk were (smugly!) reporting warm sunshine when we were cold and wet under cloud.

I thought it was just me! Ive been chilly every evening (I am in the N West) and have several times had to put an electric heater on for a bit.

JaneJudge Mon 29-May-23 00:19:51

i agree because my car said it was 21 degrees but the wind said otherwise! in the east

Whitewavemark2 Mon 29-May-23 00:14:07

Just back from Cornwall, and it is absolutely beautiful down there - ideal temperature.

Here on the south coast it is forecast a chilly wind for the bank holiday Monday, but it hasn't been too bad at all. Yesterday I was gardening in short sleeves.

Nannysprout Sun 28-May-23 23:23:32

Same here silverlining48! Sounds like I’m not the only one getting a bit worn down with it: longing for some warm gentle breezes ☀️

silverlining48 Sun 28-May-23 23:02:53

Have just climbed into bed with my electric blanket on.
It was lovely today ( SE) but that wind is omnipresent!

MaizieD Sun 28-May-23 22:50:15

How odd.

Here in NW Durham we've had a succession of beautiful hot, sunny days. A bit cooler today when the sun was covered by cloud, but not cold. We must just be far enough inland to escape the chilly breeze.

Sallywally1 Sun 28-May-23 22:38:08

I don’t think I have ever been so cold as I have been this winter/spring. Sunny this weekend in london, but still that pesky wind! I long just to sit outside on a balmy summer evening watching the sun go down! I’m glad I bought my electric fleecy blanket from Lakeland. Myself and the cat have regular arguments over it. He thinks it belongs to him!

Bridie22 Sun 28-May-23 22:20:36

Fed up of it now , Friday we were covered in grey freezing sea fret, that northeasterly breeze needs to move on and let us warm up !

BlueBelle Sun 28-May-23 22:19:32

It’s booming cold dragonfly it’s not always easy to find a sheltered spot bring on some warmth for our bones
Still need my two duvets and hot water bottles to get me to sleep

Marilla Sun 28-May-23 22:13:56

Thank goodness it’s not just me!
I have now put the heating on!

dragonfly46 Sun 28-May-23 22:13:27

I don’t mind either. If you want the sun you can sit in a sheltered spot. It is cool at night for sleeping.

BlueBelle Sun 28-May-23 22:06:29

Such a cold east wind I totally agree
A memory came up on fb today and I m so brown and heathy looking but no sign of a tan at the moment this year still hugging my hot water bottle in the evenings
