Ye gods, how much more

When it rains look for rainbows 🌈

Yeah we have loads of outside jobs waiting dry weather - and waiting.

Zippity doo dah!!!

It's not raining, I'm awake, (so far) and I have washing to go out.

MissAdventure- that'l be the ONE day of summer we usually have then will it?

Apparently we are going to have a ridiculously hot spell at some point, Nannan2

Phwoar! What a scorcher! type weather.

I shall be complaining like mad then, too.

It doesn't feel much like drying weather out there today, but I've still hung me "smalls" out, in the hope that I will finally be able to get rid of the big clothes horse in my living room.

My daughter and grandaughter were coming Monday for a couple of days but backed out because of the dire weather
by mutual agreement, a long joirney on the motoway in torrential rain, I worry about her aquaplaning, or poor visibility.

Its all very well saying ‘right clothes’ etc, but! then coming home with dripping brollies, wet clothes and boots, trousers in the washer, immediate showers, then wet towels its all too much.
Its drier today east of Oxford, the town here is quiet apart from a light plane buzzing like an oversized demented gnat, meant to be dry tomorrow in south Oxfordshire, then back to rain,
at least we are not flooded like many poor people.
Fields here are flooded though, farmers mist be despairing.

Can anyone remember one year when it rained for months was it 1960?

It was frosty this morning, 5deg, much better

I have a new spring jacket and some spring like dresses I am very eager to wear.I am fed up with huge puffer coats that make look and feel like an Oompah Loopah.

I hope we dont go straight to heatwave,I will cheated of the chance to show off my new jacket🤣

you could post up a picture/s? we can then admire and be well jell?!

I had a full length caramel coloured puffer coat my OH said I looked like a well insulated immersion tank (tall amd cylindrical???}

Lovely sunny day here in greater London, have the doors open! Has made me want to clean so have done the floors and the bathroom.

From what I have read, it is quite possible that this will be our weather pattern in the future. Long wet winters, cool damp summers: something to do with the Gulf Stream changing its course.
Invest in wellies and souwesters!

Glorious day for park run today !!

Oh no….and I’m flying into the UK tomorrow for a ten day visit to relatives…..and the thought of ten days of rain when I’m without a car and maneuvering public transport …..and I’ve a lovely little air bnb apartment facing the seafront - hoping for beautiful sunrises and sunsets during my visit…..oh dear, this doesn’t bode well!

I’d rather have rain ☔️ than snow ❄️

Well, the weather forecast may not be right!

Here Thursday and Friday's forecasts were for pouring rain just when I would be heading either to church or home again. Not a drop fell!

Today's forecast was likewise pouring rain all day - three drops at about quarter to ten - none since.

What do we do about it? Force politicians to ban all fossil fuels within a very short space of time and stop using your cars. Buy an electric cargo bike instead! Or at least, an electric car!

Stop using plastic, and any and all chemicals that damage the environment.

We have known all this since we were schoolgirls of 13 or 14 and most of us have chosen to ignore our knowledge - now we are paying for our stupidity.

Warm and sunny here today! I sat out for the first time.
How long it’ll last is of course another matter.

Lovely morning, sunny, put up washing line first time this year
Hung out washing...and, lo and behold, down came the rain! I should've known!

My washing is still out.
I've made the mistake of leaving it for too long, all this week.
Then it suddenly rains, and it's back to square one.

Yep I feel you I'm sick of emptying my water butt which is right at the bottom of my Slopey garden n is flooding my garage! Not to mention that the useless council still haven't sorted the problem out! Why do i pay rent....but I spose we shouldn't moan there are people out there doing rain dances just to get a few drops🤷‍♀️

Clocks go forward tonight - 1 hours less rain 😉

My ideal weather is sunny but not too warm, gentle breeze to keep it fresh and not a cloud in sight.
Instead I get the rain bucketing down and a chilly wind to help it along.

Me too AGA. This type of weather is hard to be found in Scotland where I live. Feels like it's been raining since Autumn with only the odd day here are there when the sun comes out - and that's usually just before sunset! My garden is a quagmire!

All this rain: I blame the government!

A bit cold here but at least the sun's shining in where I am in Northants.
I hope for the same tomorrow. I need to cut the lawn. It's the longest I've ever seen it.
Fingers crossed.

I made that mistake too Nanny except I think I might get washing out on Friday between the showers. It really is depressing isn't it. Add in the wind coming out of Siberia and you have misery. But what can we do? Just pin the smile in place and pile the winter woolies back on. Hey ho.

My mother would have been horrified to see washing out on Good Friday! I did put some out one year and was sure she was watching me disapprovingly from up above.

Glorious sun here in S Hampshire, a few fluffy clouds, tomorrow is forecast dry but cloudy, Monday returns to ☔️.

I'm off to get my hopefully dry washing in.

Same here. Sat outside our local cafe having a coffee this morning followed by a few hours of gardening.

Sorry to all those still getting rained on - don't mean to rub salt in the wound. Looks like we're back to rain all week next week.
