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.

cricket probably more interesting if played during torrential downpours

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?

don't remember '08 summer so well..? was it bad? 2011 or whatever year Take Shelter came out was bad. I remember because the day after I saw that film, it rained and then it rained non stop for weeks.
LG is right though - we've had some decent days of sunshine. Kids shouldn't get a school holiday IMO, it brings the rain.

2011 was weird over here, or at leas t in North West mayo where i spent most of it. April was so dry that there were gorse fires at the end of it. Didn't rain for 2 1/2 or 3 weeks then it started raining possibly in early May and seemed to keep it up solidly from then on. Probably was dry for some periods but not for long. I spent a lot of the time in places taht I couldn't really get too warmed up Just try to change into dry clothing.
I wound up coming down from up there wearing 2 fleeces and a pair of leather jeans feeling it was about right for the heat, but also because most of my clothing was being washed. Hit Galway and it was actually pretty warm so i was overhot.Nopt sure how weather compared between the 2 locations at other times,, I do think there was flooduing in various places at times though.
― Stevolende, Monday, 27 July 2015 10:34 (eight years ago) link
Doesn't feel like it's been a good summer in the South West. Feels like 2008. I think 2009 was bad too. Last summer and the one before were good, I think. July's been very cold.

I've been wearing long trousers in the evenings which is practically unheard of before September.

I was in East Lothian all of last week and the weather was mostly fine, rising to sweltering at times

Record high July temperatures measured in the first couple of weeks, btw - short memories on display here
I was wondering if there was a difference elsewhere than here,. I think it rained a lot at that time, certainly is now. BUt I did think I was hearing better things from elsewhere including the East coast of the country and definitely France.

Friday was relentless. Sunday just kept starting and stopping in this v annoying fashion with a bit of sun for about five mins.
Weather has followed up to Edinburgh. Needed cheering up I guess.

I think the bourgeoisie over here must own the weather bureau. The first day of Race Week suddenly sees the weather become summery. I'm quite disgusted.But at least I do now have the meds for flu recovery so things might just look up shortly.

One thing I've noticed in past weeks about Edinburgh is this, at times, really really light drizzle, bordering on non-existent but just enough to notice.
This week is just shit - haven't taken my coat and lost my umbrella on Sunday.
