What is the weather like where you are?
Here in the NW it is cold and pouring with rain.
We have had a very few warm, almost hot, days but not in June it is like early spring or Autumn.
My jumpers, ready washed to put away are back in use.
I haven’t changed to my summer duvet and feel I never will this year.
I am very loathe to put the CH on but I hate feeling so miserable.
Global warming?
It doesn’t seem to be happening here.

After a week on Ibiza I was so cold I put heating on last night!
ibiza was just wonderful, bright blue skies and temp jp to 28c every day. had to sit in shade at lunchtime but walking home late at night in just sleeves was lovely.

Cold and raining in N Norfolk today.

My heating has been on every day, even if it is milder the wind makes it feel chilly.

My central heating switched itself on this morning. It’s bright, sunny with a cold wind but - no rain 🙏🏽🌻

I don’t know where you live Jennifereccles but we haven’t had what I call a good summer for a long time There were some lovely warm days (some call hot) last years but interspersed with cold and wet and we had wind nearly all the time ( although nothing as bad as this year I agree)

I m depressed waking up every day to wet wind and blooming cold exactly what it is today wet windy and novemberish

It's been sunny here in central Scotland but with a cold wind. I had the central heating on for a little while last night.

DGGD's second birthday. Cold but dry. Last year, it was boiling! Patio doors had to be open so that all the invited children could play with the small bouncy castle and a surprising number of outdoor toys. How has she managed to accumulate so many in just two years? They all had a fine time, no quarrels, no tears. Parents, GPs and GGM enjoyed a few(?) drinks and DS1 tended the barbecue. So despite the weather, it was a good party. Now I am just about feeling warm. The forecast is decidedly non-summery.

It’s more like autumn than early summer here. I haven’t put away my winter clothing as I still need it (not the thickest jumpers and coats though) - no hope of wearing light weight summer wear yet, certainly not sandals (except for one day, mid May).

The heating comes on automatically, and so there have been one or two mornings this last week or so when the heating has kicked on for a short time.

I keep hoping that it will warm up a touch in the next week or so (though not to the extent we had July 2022), but looking at the longish range forecast, ie, for the next fortnight, it’s not looking great. As I type, it’s chucking it down.

My poor tomato plants are really struggling at the moment.

Well thank goodness for global warming is all I can say!
Imagine how cold it would be without it !

Actually I don’t mind having a cooler start to summer this year after the last two or three hot ones.

It just shows how the weather always seems to adjust with cooler weather and plenty of wet days following a run of hotter, dry summers.

Holidaying in the Yorkshire Dales. 12 degrees tomorrow. Wednesday overnight set to be 4 degrees. Unbelievable.

I put the heating on around 9pm. It's cold here and have had the heating on in the late evening for most of June to take the chill off.
Northamptonshire.

Well I’ve just come up to bed so I have switched the heating off but after a brief dry spell it is pouring with rain.
No watering here.

It’s been up to 23° here today in the Algarve. But it’s been heavy cloud and chilly in the mornings with intermittent showers as well. I say showers, it has rained but barely enough to wet the patio and certainly not enough to do any good to the garden.

Bellasnana Sun 09-Jun-24 20:33:11

Here in Malta it has been a very hot day 33°C. It’s 9.30pm now and still 23.9°C which means the fan will be on all night.

It’s bearable but during July and August it gets too hot for comfort. Isn’t it a pity we can’t share the weather out a bit more evenly. I don’t like being cold but there is a happy medium!

flappergirl Sun 09-Jun-24 20:30:24

A very chilly 14 degrees in Bristol and a never ending wind. I've had the heating on most evenings this year, including tonight.

I’m quite warm sat here in a sleeveless dress which I’ve worn all day (two different dresses). 1 tog quilt on my bed. Put my fleece on to do gardening but soon had to take it off.

Tenko Sun 09-Jun-24 19:41:06

18 degrees in Surrey . This morning was sunny and I had to take off my hoody when dog walking . I’ve spent the day gardening, sunny spells and clouds. It’s 15 degrees at 7.30 , so no heating needed .

Iam64 Sun 09-Jun-24 17:52:04

I’ve had a couple of days in Shropshire, the sun came out in the afternoon but there was a chill wind. Home in the north west, torrential rain on the M56 but dry at home in north Manchester. But it’s cold. I’m in a jumper with a blanket over my knees]
Fed up with it

Lucky you GG13! Please budge up on that sun lounger it sounds bliss!

Rain here. Chilly. When we dropped my stepfather off after taking him to M&S his house was lovely and warm. ‘I’ve had the heating on’. Good for him, he’s elderly, a bit less robust these days and losing muscle mass so he feels the cold more.

Charleygirl5 Sun 09-Jun-24 16:41:38

A pleasant sunny morning in NW London. Now 15C, dull and cold. I will switch the heating on for an hour or two when I have my supper around 8pm.

I refuse to switch the heating on now- it will be the longest day in 2 weeks!

Gymstagran Sun 09-Jun-24 16:24:11

West Midlands 13° and cold. There was a bit of warm sun this morning but a cold wind. Its now overcast. I have the heating on.

Mollygo Sun 09-Jun-24 16:14:51

Today is cold 13° and windy which makes it colder, but at least it’s fine in our part of the North West. Occasional sunny days are followed by 1 or 2 rainy ones. I had stocked up my winter stuff ready to vacuum pack them away, but I’ve needed to use some of it. The CH has gone on for an hour after morning walks on several days.
Roll on summer!

Mamie Sun 09-Jun-24 16:08:51

It is 18° and sunny here in Normandy, but the wind is very cold and it has been 6° overnight. Nevertheless we have just lit the barbecue for a boned shoulder of lamb marinaded in herbs and olive oil. 😊

cornergran Sun 09-Jun-24 16:05:43

Our part of the South West is being battered by a strong, cold wind. The car tells me it’s 17 degrees, it feels more like 12 degrees out there. I’m trying to avoid putting the heating on but definitely need long sleeves and layers. June feels more like March. We’ve managed one day sitting outside, the rest of the time it’s been far too cold. Nope, not enjoying this.
