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?

Suddenly things are warming up here. 16c at 10am. We have had 3 weeks of dull, sunless weather with chilly winds and I am fed up with it. Just packing to go away for the weekend and fingers crossed it is lovely weather although we will be on SE coast.

The temperature here didn't rise above 17°c today. DH and I walked to our local pub for lunch, and on the way home a chilly wind was blowing. DH remarked that it felt quite wintry. Apparently we are to expect warmer temperatures from Sunday onwards, but with thunderstorms.
Gee thanks!

It’s so cold here, we’ve still got our heating on, I sit in a t-shirt, cardigan and fleece wrapped in a blanket. I did manage to take my fleece off at dinner this evening as our conservatory was quite warm after the first sun we’ve seen in days. I’m thoroughly fed up with it.

After 2 weeks of shivering I took my fleece off this afternoon. It got so hot I had to come indoors

Still cold in Norfolk, can’t remember being so cold for so long. All I want to do is drive south and keep driving until I’m warm again.

Quite nippy and dull here in the East Mids until lunchtime but the sun is now shining, still a cool breeze though.

Boiling in SW Wales. Roads awash with caravans. Country park crowded. Garden looks o.k. Thanks to regular watering but the lawn is dry and dusty. No rain since 8 th of May. Hope we get a nice juicy thunderstorm at the weekend.

Pretty darn chilly in the Chilterns! Lovely sunshine today but the wind would take the skin off your face.

It's really hot here inBrighton with a very pleasant breeze. Apparently it will be 30 this w/e and I'm not looking forward to that..

Not where we are MrsKensad

MrsKen33 Thu 08-Jun-23 15:01:13

I think all of you suffering from the chill are due for a 26-30% heat wave over the weekend. Good luck

I have just taken my fleece off this afternoon. The sun is out but the wind is too. Not complaining as where I am its been dreadful fir nearly 2 weeks. Just booked a week away next month hoping fir some mediteranian sunshine. Hurrah!

I am in North Devon for a week and it was freezing this money out on a bike

I have been checking the stats. Both March, April and May had below average hours of sunshine. March and April had some of the lowest figures on record. May was not that low, but lower than average. crondallweather.co.uk/daily-monthly-and-seasonal-sunshine-hours-statistics-for-crondall/.

Typo could NOT have put it better . ...

silverlining48 Mon 05-Jun-23 09:52:18

I could have put it better BlueBelle. It’s been a dire start to summer and I don’t even have a holiday to look forward to.

BlueBelle Mon 05-Jun-23 09:29:46

We had one day of sun not hot sun but warm sun now the wind which never went is whipping up and it’s as grey and miserable or as Larry Grayson would have said it’s a grey day
Come on summer I m totally fed up let’s all suffer if needs be but to have half the country basking while the half shiver isn’t fair

Missoula Mon 05-Jun-23 09:18:18

You can't imagine how glad I am to read your post! I'm totally fed up with this cold wind, while there are reports of the 'hottest day of the year' in the press. Where? Not here.
I keep hoping to see a report asking people to please give a thought to the suffering people on the east coast! And according to the Met Office, it looks as though we'll have it for at least another fortnight. Plus the garden is as dry as a bone.
Apologies for the moan, but I do feel less alone now! Thank you.

It’s 12/13* degrees here with a strong North Easterly wind and no sun and feel flipping cold I ve got a thick hooded cardy on over a jumper and a hot water bottle as I ve just sat down for a late afternoon rest
I m miserable and my bones are cold I need some nicer weather

karmalady Fri 02-Jun-23 15:31:12

I waited until 11 and suddenly got that oomph, that I have waited ages for, that oomph that said s*d the wind, the sun is out and I want to ride my bike. Naturally had no idea what to wear but I was happy in my fleece jacket, which felt ridiculous in june.

It was good, I felt comfy and oh so grateful for the high hedges that cut the wind. The constant NE wind is horrible, ruining this start of summer for many

It's warmed up now!

18⁰C which is a few degrees cooler than yesterday.

It’s very rare for us to have a prolonged period of better weather in the west than in the east, but we’re enjoying another beautiful morning in Wales today. It is still windy, but it’s not cold, and very few clouds.

It must be less sheltered here because it's chilly this morning - 13⁰C feels like 11⁰C apparently.

Serves me right for being smug yesterday!

It’s definitely not sheltered, I’m on a hill, but the sun is hot although it’s windy. It’s probably about 18 degrees at the moment - too warm for a jumper whilst gardening anyway, if that’s a gauge. I think I’m further west than you though, so it must be on its way shortly!

Yes this morning was really cold in East London . My summer dog walk coat not warm enough.
Keep putting away my winter clothes and getting them out again.
That's English weather for you.
