Ye gods, how much more

Send some over here, please. It hasn’t rained properly since February and everything is shriveling up and dying. I love the sun but we really need a downpour.

Moving the last of the garden pots out of their Winter storage today I was startled to find tough marsh plants had taken up residence in among the geraniums!

On the up side my rhubarb is doing really well - it likes all this water very much.

You wait ….one warm day and there ll be a thread on here about the dreadful heat 🤣🤣🤣

😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃 😀 😄 😁

I’ve had enough too, grass can’t be cut, it’s sodden, water butts capped off ages ago to stop overflowing and heating still coming on. I’m not booking any UK short breaks for us until I see a last minute opportunity of a few dry days.

It mostly rained again all day here and been so cold. It was 2.5 deg when I went out at 10:30am and had gone up to a heady 3deg by midday. The hills all around are snow-covered. We had a torrential downpour at about 6pm. We also had 30 mins of sun mid afternoon, when our solar panels topped up the battery a bit.

The same again tomorrow, except with high winds as well. 😩

Well, it makes a change from rain, I suppose.

Hmm. Here’s a view of the hail from inside my car this afternoon.

Don't be too disheartened. It often means it will rain at some time each day ,but not necessarily all day. eg yesterday rain was forecast, but not till the afternoon, so I managed to dry washing outside (bliss!) before it rained. Blue sky here now, too. Probably won't last!,

After reading the start of this thread earlier in the day, and looking at the forecast, I was all ready for a downpour type of day.

But actually we probably had quite a bit more dry weather than wet. Today anyway.

The other post I could have quoted is henetha.
Everything except the hanging out washing part!

It was like winter in the woods today with the spaniel, overcast grey skies, bitter wind and raining, even the poor sheep were huddled together under the trees, they look as fed up as me☹️

I took my dog for a walk about 4.30 today. The skies darkened, sleet and hailstones rained down. Oh joy

Hopefully the heatwave won't extend to France MissA but not holding my breath.🥵🥵

I’ve found one positive only. The rain is suppressing the tree pollen. I usually feel pretty grim from mid March due to hay fever, but not this year so far. Otherwise, it’s depressing.

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🤣

My back garden is really soggy. When hanging the washing out there it's like a bog and my feet just squelch. It's happened in other winters but never as bad as it is now.

Well, you'll be pleased to know we are due a heatwave!
I can't remember when, but it's going to be "A Scorcher!"

I'm with you MissA so I try not to complain about the rain as heat is much worse for me.

I like it warm enough to take my coat off,cool enough to leave my clothes on,and not showing the world my flabby bits.

This!

Yes, it’s a bit depressing, isn’t it? Of course there are many worse things in the world, but I’m fed up now of scraping mud off my boots, going out for walks on pavements to avoid slipping and sliding on my usually lovely woodland paths, and hearing DH bemoan the state of the allotment. I’ve got DGS currently on breaks up in the Lakes and on the North East coast - I’m sure they’ll still be having a great time but I’m sure their parents are praying for a hint of sun!

I have filled my 8 watering cans and my 2 tall water butts are now re-filled. I am prepped for the summer drought

I am liking the rain right now, it means that my slug nematodes will do well in the soil and I do not have to go and water them daily

It’s awful isn’t it. Yetsterday, I managed my first field walk with that spaniel, since my injury in early February. I’ve been cautious in avoiding slippy areas. The fields are quagmire’s, even the gravel paths soggy.
My garden soaked
Worse, it’s cold as well and grey

Same here. Really fed up with all the rain. My bones have been aching for weeks. Roll on some sunny warm weather

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.

I'll be first moaning about the dreadful heat.
I do it because I loathe hot weather, but that seems to annoy people.

The thread will be full of people saying how much they love it, and getting all angry because others don't.

I like in-between weather.
