I’ve got the heating on, I’m still waiting for spring, let alone Summer☹️

I hardly dare say it, but it’s nice in Wales today. The sun is shining, and it’s quite warm, I’ve been gardening in my T-shirt. It’s quite windy, but it’s not cold.

I used to change clothes around and put winter things away in the summer etc. So far this year I have a total mix, from shorts and t shirt, to jumpers and warm trousers , with of course sunglasses and shoes and sandals too!! The weather is so changeable that I can still put one set of clothes on and by the time I have gone shopping wish I had worn something else!! Definitely think that the weather is changing over time. Today the wind is picking up, and quite chilly, so the washer is on and hope to get it all out on the line fingers crossed!

It is a bit chilly!

I’ve got my sheepskin house boots* on, and a really big thick cosy cardi on top of 2 other layers.

*TBH I’ve hardly had them off so far this year!

I am ways cold, but I am sitting in the conservatory, in a short sleeve dress, with doors wide open.It's 62°C, the sun is shining.
Makes a change for Glasgow.

The Met Office have predicted a warmer than average summer.. wonder when summer starts..

I believe it might be at 2.30 on the 31st of August.
If wet, in the Church Hall.

RosiesMaw Fri 31-May-24 13:23:56

Here too!

T shirts lying unworn in the drawer and I’m still wearing my vests! grin

According to the forecast we are set to have wall to wall sunshine most of next week here in South Yorkshire. At the moment it is blowing a gale and I am wearing a polo neck sweater with a fleece over it!!

I was not familiar with the ash and the oak rhyme. Thank you for that. I heard about the ash dieback not so long ago. Sad news.
Here in Hampshire, as in 'Hertfordshire, Hereford, and Hampshire hurricans hardly happen..." But it's very blustery!

MissAdventure Fri 31-May-24 12:53:05

I've got my heating on.
Have tried to resist, but it's blooming cold!

JaneJudge Fri 31-May-24 12:43:44

The Met Office have predicted a warmer than average summer.. wonder when summer starts..

I recall that one of the hottest and driest summers in the mid 1970s was preceded by snow in the north in early June.

My oak trees are in full leaf whereas the ash trees have only just started leafing up

Ash before the oak,
We shall have a soak.
Oak before the Ash,
We shall have a splash..

I'm sure most of us know this 😆

Of course I'd completely forgotten that Maizie.. brilliant

It’s horrible here in North Norfolk. Very windy - some plants blown over - raining - some roses spoiled - and cold. Flaming June tomorrow …

Indeed GSM. A heavy metal seat has blown over in our garden, the roses are wrecked and the branches on the trees are swirling round and round. It is truly rotten weather.

It was lovely up here a couple of days ago, but today it's overcast and cold. Not raining, though.

I'm sitting in a cold house because DH has come down with covid and I'm leaving outside doors and the windows open to hopefully disperse the virus particles.. keeping fingers crossed that I don't get it too.. He's allowed to go into to two well ventilated rooms only...

It's meteorological summer tomorrow and I've been out in warm trousers, jumper and waterproof jacket. Is winter setting in early after we had a few warm days last week?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 31-May-24 12:07:21

Cossy I am not that far from you, have just given in and put the heating on. I am still trying to warm up from my Farm trauma 🤣🤣🤣

GS is hugging the radiator.

Faierynan Fri 31-May-24 12:06:12

Just got in and moved the thermostat for heating till it clicked on. Feels like January

ExDancer Fri 31-May-24 12:04:47

I'm tired of jeans and warm tops. I've worn a skirt 3 or 4 times, twice for 'special occasions' and only twice because the weather seemed warm enough.
Whatever the reason, (global warming, jet stream etc) it looks like this weather pattern is here to stay and we're just going to have to adapt to it.
We may do our feeble best to recycle and restrict plastics, but the huge power plants and factories belching out pollutants in some countries, like China, are making fools of us.
Warmer weather will come and as Norah says, we'll be saying 'too hot' and the hosepipe bans will start.

Cossy Fri 31-May-24 12:01:17

It’s also horrible in Essex! More like February than almost June!

Norah Fri 31-May-24 11:47:35

Soon, heat will be off and complaints "too warm" will begin.

However, not soon enough!
