I have not been cycling all week, too much wind and the gusts are not pleasant

Callistemon21 Wed 31-May-23 20:21:07

I did come indoors to finish my dinner - it was a bit chilly to sit outside.

Oh my! I’m cold easily but - here in the frozen north west, it’s fabulous. The sun is still shining, it isn’t raining and that cold wind has gone away , for now 🌸🌺🌞

Yes, it's in a band right across the country from the North-East as far as S Wales!
Either side of it is lovely, so I'm told 🙂

Off to Scotland tomorrow for a short break. I have now decided to pack a fleece and not just rely on a thick sweater and windproof anorak, which is what I originally planned. The fleece is an add on not an alternative. I have also tucked a thermal vest into my handbag.

Blanket over my knees and I'm toying with the idea of going for some socks. I currently have bare feet which are feeling a bit cold.
I put washing on the whirlygigg earlier this afternoon when the sun was on it, brought it in about an hour ago, brr, that winds chilly.

Very windy here on the south west coast and chilly. The sea is swelling nicely in readiness for my bumpy ferry crossing to France. 🤢 🤢

I’ve been sitting out all afternoon baking hot here in Co Armagh 🌞
Cool now the sun as sinking behind the hills , but I still have the doors and windows open

Nice and toasty here in Central Scotland this afternoon after a cooler morning. We often get the best of the weather at this time of year.

I have a hot water bottle against my back.

Me to Musicgirl.

I'm hot. Due to the fact I've been stupid and got a tad sunburnt. It's been beautiful here. North West.

We've had wall to wall sun for days. It looks like it's set to last as well.

I thought the whole of the UK was basking in this glorious weather!

foxie48 Wed 31-May-23 20:41:38

I'm going to bed early with a hot water bottle. We've had a cold North Easterly wind all day, it's been miserable. However, I remember it snowing on June 1st 1975!

Granmarderby10 Wed 31-May-23 20:49:30

Not just me then🥶. Disappointing day so going to have fish chips n mushy peas. I deserve it

SueDonim Wed 31-May-23 20:50:39

Mid-Scotland. The sun didn’t come out today but it was still 16deg an hour ago.

downtoearth Wed 31-May-23 21:08:37

Have just retired to bed in Mid Norfolk,heating been on since I came home from shopping at 4.30 its been grey,cold,and blustery and I am fed up with it.

HousePlantQueen Wed 31-May-23 21:21:34

Heating on. My poor tomato plants have just been put outside, moved from the greenhouse. Well, it was warm on Sunday.......

mamaa Wed 31-May-23 21:26:21

Yep cold here on Suffolk coast so put on heating last night, and an extra blanket over the summer quilt too. Long trousers and long sleeved top worn with gilet over that during the day. Hope June heralds more seasonal weather and this cloud and bitter wind go away! Fed up with it now-hmm

brook2704 Wed 31-May-23 21:32:40

A bit cloudy this morning but sunny in Inverness this afternoon and about 19º - it’s been the same all week! 😎

kittylester Wed 31-May-23 21:34:05

My friend who has a shop in the village was wearing her coat this afternoon. The shop keepers on the High Street all keep their doors open but it's hard for them when it's cold.

pascal30 Wed 31-May-23 21:46:10

Really hot today but with a strong breeze

Patsy70 Wed 31-May-23 21:48:43

What’s the betting that as soon as the sun shines through and the wind drops that people will start to complain about the heat? Admittedly, I don’t ‘sunbathe’, but so love the long warm, breezy days in the garden. 😊

Redhead56 Wed 31-May-23 21:59:25

Last few days it's been sunny and quite warm but today chilly and cloudy. My bedroom feels cold I have teddy dressing gown on and teddy bootee slippers!

Grandma70s Wed 31-May-23 22:00:15

I’m grateful for every cool day. I loathe hot weather.

Curlywhirly Wed 31-May-23 22:11:02

Been gorgeous here (for a few days now) in Cheshire. Saturday and Sunday were really hot. Cooler this morning, but lovely and sunny this afternoon. However, it does feel a little chilly once the sun goes down, but not cold enough to need the heating on.

BlueBelle Wed 31-May-23 22:23:36

So it’s you Grandma70 can you emigrate to Iceland for a few months so we can get some warmth into our old bones please
