Can't lie, if it means we avoid the heat of last summer, then keep the rain coming
― vexingvexillologist, Tuesday, 8 August 2023 13:53 (nine months ago) link
Can't lie, I'm team let the world burn if it'd avoid weeks and weeks of miserable pissy fucking rain
Joke's on me, cos the world's burning anyway.

unless met office is fucking with me - no rain here until friday. It's actually sunny rn and not even me hanging up two loads of washing outside could make it rain. Thursday is looking very promising. I'm such a sad twat these days when a few days of sunshine arrives it's all about how much laundry will done - yippee.

22˚C and miserable pissy rain at 1 p.m. in August in Mississippi is a wonderful thing. It actually felt good to take a hot shower this morning.

Hmph. After, what - four weeks? five weeks? - of zero sun, I've temporarily swapped England for Ireland, where it's just the same, but colder. Means I will miss the brief respite this week.

I can remember one year going to a rain sodden Newquay that practically never stopped raining only to see reports of a northern mini-heatwave from a caravan where rain patting against the fibreglass is louder than seagulls and then returning back to miserable pissy rain in the north, where normal service had been resumed.

This particular intense but relatively narrow band of rain we had today seems to stretch from Trondheim all the way out to the Azores. I just think that's neat.

Comforting to know it'd still be raining if I'd stayed home all those years ago I guess.
Current pattern of nice crisp sunny mornings followed by rainy days could be worse.

Proper miserable pissy rain here in Minnesota today, making me pine for the old homeland. It'll probably turn into a prairie thunderstorm later mind which you don't really get in the UK, at least not the bits I ever lived in.

No rain is more miserable and pissier than West of Scotland rain imo.

the road round the corner from me is flooded so badly that a double-decker bus is stuck in it. I'm banking on an Iceland delivery coming today so I don't need to leave the house.

Going for a run in the miserable pissy west of Scotland rain shortly. The pleasure of getting home afterwards should be good.

If the rain had held off for literally five more minutes I would have got home without getting soaked.

Curious. Worst/scariest flooding I've ever driven through yesterday, on the Essex/Suffolk border, in a kind of "I wouldn't normally drive through that puddle but I'm not really sure what else I can do" sort of way. Eventually, stopped trying to get anywhere in particular beyond zig-zagging to *anywhere* that might be less wet.

I used to go to the Gambia a fair bit and there the conversation was the opposite: you ask when it's going to rain and someone looks up and says, 'eh, April'.
Absolutely shat it down here last night. The rivers are swole af.

a tornado warning in Scotland, never thought I would see the day
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 21 January 2024 22:37 (four months ago) link
I left the landing window open, the roller blind was flapping like crazy and there were some leaves on my stairs. Quite fair to call this fucker as a named storm system, but it doesn't sound like 90 mph wind here, yet.
A “tornado watch” zone was issued for Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland and northern England by the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (Torro) on Sunday afternoon. That means a “strong tornado” is possible in those regions.
see how it goes time
