miserable pissy rain

I feel this is recompense for allowing us an almost completely uninterrupted half-season of COVID cricket

It's grim up north.

pissing it down, all day

incredibly consistent fine spray, like god has loaded up her cheeks and is blowing it at us through a puckered mouth all day

at least it's bringing some warmth here in NY

morning

lulz

Think I picked the wrong day to walk to and from work.

Today: miserable pissy rain
Tomorrow: miserable pissy freezing sleet

Think I picked the wrong day to walk to and from work.

My cycle each way was decidedly wet and cold and dark.

might as well live in Glasgow!

i feel like there have been about three clear days in the past 10 weeks

been dry here recently

everything's shut so don't need to leave the house so not a biggie either way

I love rain, listening to it and even going out in it under endless grey skies where it almost becomes night at half three pm.

I usually walk to and from work tbf. I don't have a problem with heavy rain because you know it's not going to last and you can shelter from it but this miserable pissy rain that doesn't look that heavy but you end up more drenched than with the heavy stuff because it lasts for fucking hours and it's that steady constant Chinese torture thing ugh.

Miserable pissy snow this am

it's just been gently sleeting here but the distant moors are all whited out

We didn't get sleet here. I feel strangely cheated.

live on the edge of the desert, so a miserable pissy rain day only happens a few times a year. today is one of those days.

Vintage bank holiday weather.

Not reached here yet but it's forecast to piss down until at least midnight.

Foul out there and fucking freezing.

HAIL

blue skies and evening sunshine here, a bit chilly for May but perfect conditions for an evening walk down the canal towards Horbury.

miserable freezing fucking hail

(luckily for me, not in the areas where I work or live, but I did pass through it on the bus going home)

wasn't trying to weather boast, it was ominous dark clouds on the horizon and there was a significant temperature drop on the return journey

We're going to transition directly from why is it still fuckin cold to OK now it's uncomfortably warm aren't we.

Yes, and in the same day as well (see tomorrow in South East England for details).

The Day It Pissed Down Forever

I am in the Waterstones cafe trying to dry off as even with an umbrella my clothes got soaked. Might be a good few hours yet

I got caught in a downpour wearing a not very sensible jacket. Was mainly relieved that it didn't come with thunder & lightning because receiving megavolts from the heavens is definitely not on my bucket list.

I left and am now reduced to cowering in brewdog, for any stalkers following along

I'm amazed I haven't bumped into you yet! (As I go to these places, not due to excesses of stalking)

Pond outside looking dangerously full.

Sunny in Holborn but the puppy’s obedience class got called off an hour before we were supposed to go, then rain, then sunshine for the 45 minutes the class was supposed to happen.

Yes, it's alternating between sun and torrential downpours here.

Pond outside looking dangerously full.

Not only is it miserable pissy rain day every day but it's fucking freezing. It's nearly june and my clothes are still cold when I put them on in the morning.

conversely

It reached +30°C (86.5°F) in the Arctic today. Hotter than pretty much all of Europe right now.

Truly exceptional for any time of the year but mind-boggling for May. More updates to follow. pic.twitter.com/2CTTykUW3F

The mother and father of a hailstorm going on.

But then it turns to really good sunshine for about five mins, then grey then showers

yeah i wouldn't mind all this rain so much if it wasn't so chuffing cold as well.

Third cycle of this.

And yeah turning the heating on occasion

I was planning to go to the pub tonight for the first time since last summer but that's out.

my dog hates the rain so I got him a new raincoat that looks more like a bishop's robe

Relentless today.

I biked back from the gym and now I'm working at the office in wet jeans, wet socks and wet shoes.

Pretty sure I can feel the trenchfoot already
