Weather

it is just so windy and stormy all the time.
i mowed the lawn in the rain today

So much rain and such high winds. It seems like forever. The occasional quiet and sunny day, like today, when I try to catch up with the garden (the roses were fed at last) - then back to rainy, windy and cold again. The weeds love it - when will I be able to give them their comeuppance?

Frost indicator came on in my car this morning at 7am. Has felt cold all day! Midlothian.

We’ve been told to plant drought-tolerant plants. Did so. Now in a sea of mud. Next year will try water lilies😂

Oh, I remember Monty Don advising us to do that years ago, saying we should be expecting Mediterranean summers.

DH said it never stopped raining for a couple of years after he said it.
Nor since.

The grass needs cutting but is too wet to mow. If it doesn't stop raining soon I will need to engage the services of Aiden Turner and his machete ................. on second thoughts

Wind and heavy rain in North Wales. I feel as though it's been raining all year so far. I had the heating on all through March so not warm here.

Same in South West Wales! Brrr

Grey, grey and more grey☹️

We knew it would happen, though.

All those prophecies of Mediterranean summers which would come with climate change were pie in the sky.

Wetter and stormier is more likely..

I had been hoping for about 3 degrees warmer here, regularly.

I didnt expect it to be so, and havent got it.

I fare much better with some more heat.

I’ve heard a rumour that we will have two consecutive days now with no rain in mid Wales, I admit to feeling excited at the prospect. Back to rain on Saturday so I’m going to make the most of it.

Oh yes, the rain is the first topic of conversation isn't it. We have had sunny spells interspersed with torrential showers all in the course of a few hours. Poor souls are tempted by the sun to go out for a walk or a run only to be drenched. The winter was mild but it has forgotten to give way to spring.

The sun is shining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

Fantastic sunshine all weekend, 29 yesterday. Much cooler and windy today, it's going to rain tomorrow.

Perishing cold today with gale force winds, and drenching rain first thing

Ah well that is summer over for this year.

Here, too.
Just awful.

We ve had hail, wind and perishing cold and huge thunderclaps in the middle of the hailstorm !!!

Forgot to say our temperature was 11 degrees and an hour later 4 degrees

It's been blowing a gale all day here in Hertfordshire! Hailstorm at lunchtime, horizontal rain at intervals throughout the day. Poor old Joey the tortoise has sensibly stayed in her kennel, but because of the cold and rain hasn't eaten today. I may have to put her back in the greenhouse with her heat-lamp if it continues...

I just long for some warm, still weather for a period longer than two days!

Drenching rain first thing, winds then a sudden fierce gust of wind nearly knocked me over as I stood waiting for DH to pick me up.

Later on winds, showers, sun and hail.

Essex calling, we have had, torrential rain, high winds, hail storms and now the sun is coming out 🤷‍♀️

It’s really been blowing a hooley for much of today, with alternate sunny spells and downpours! Had an email from Kew Gardens (we’re members) saying it’s closed today, because of ‘adverse weather’ (i.e, trees liable to blow down and kill someone) - which is a rare event.
Still blowing like mad now, but sunny!
