April 2012-April 2013 was the most miserable year's worth of weather imaginable. The last couple of months or so have been pretty shit (obviously worse down in the south-west), but I haven't given up hope that it's going to get better. One day.

the climate change predictions for northwest europe dont seem that consistent, some suggesting cooler some suggesting that it will just be like taking 5 degrees of latitude away so we get warmish weather while spain turns into algeria

I have enjoyed the light rain this morning, walking across the fields to the shop. then there was an opening and clear blue skies for 10 minutes, then the rain came back
Later, the tour de yorkshire is passing through here

are there any custom ales for the tour?

I havent seen any custom ales!
I just saw a large group of people walk down the lane to the main road, it looks like the cyclists are coming through in 30 minutes time
― anvil, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:38 (nine years ago) link
I miss cycling in yorkshire, even in the rain. an old friend of mine brewed something for when the tour de france started in yorks but idk if this would merit an ale

Well obv a miserable pissy rain thread would have to have a Yorkshire related revive! I actually love rain myself. Alls you need is a £20 trespass jacket and some headphones and rain isn't very miserable at all although sometimes I admit if it becomes too prolonged it would be nice to rent some of it out to the State of California or something.

I walked two miles while it was wazzing down this morning. I've got waterproof boots, but they're only properly waterproof from the bottom up. From the top down the rain gets in eventually. Also I was wearing a waterproof jacket but the rain got through the zip at the front, and waterproof trousers, but the bottoms of the jeans I was wearing underneath got damp.

Had a good walk round Soho and the light rain seemed to a good accompaniment to contemplating how much it is changing. You can't beat a gloomy rainy Sunday for slightly melancholic nostalgia.

lost my regatta waterproof at a festival right at the beginning of the summer and i can't afford a new one. hate umbrellas.
― (no offence to people) (dog latin), Monday, 27 July 2015 08:18 (eight years ago) link
Is this summer as wet elsewhere than here? I hadn't heard. Seems to have rained much more than sunshined.& it just keeps relapsing my cold/flu/whatever which has me feeling like I'm bobbing think it always triggers some level of vertigo. Lovely.
But at least all the shrubbery is getting watered regularly. So everything is looking green. THough I do think it needs both heat and light to really do that well.
Noticed a couple of weeks ago that in previous years by that point i was reduced to having to sleep under a duvet less duvet cover to keep cool enough to sleep. I'm still under a full duvet this year and have been cold under that. I know people who've had to put the heat on too. Hope August understands the u and non-u of summer weather behaviour better than July has.Is this the beginning of another ice Age?
