miserable pissy rain

had a nice time not going outside today

fuck off winter, you've had your turn

lost my regatta waterproof at a festival right at the beginning of the summer and i can't afford a new one. hate umbrellas.

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?

It's like 2008 again.

ah come on, it's been two days of bad weather after a really good summer. the forecast is for sun again tomorrow.

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.

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.

The one weekend I remember it being super hot we were in Sussex for a wedding.

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.

Shitty weather I hate you
Why can't it just be sunny and pleasantly warm for 4 months

windy. serpentine was a bit parky this morning. septemberish feeling.

Felt like late September on my commute this morning; wore a jacket and everything.

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.

Back to rain again. So hopefully race people will get wet.

Could use some fucking rain around these parts to cool off these unending 30-degree days - got about 10 minutes worth on Saturday morning, the only rain in the last two weeks

You can have ours if you want to collect it.

just about to take a few mile trek on the tops and it is drizzly and changeable, this hardcore rain-walker don't take no shit from jive-ass h20.

Clearly a bit churlish to complain here in London, when others have had to contend with extensive flooding, but it is a bit relentless today.

has been relentless for several days here in the s/w.
lights on during so called daylight hours.
cannot remember such an extended dark/miserable/grey/wet period.
everyday i thank the lords of opportunity that my wife made us buy a house on a hill ..

should probably thank your wife imo

ditto mark e (we are in the same city I think), my OH always makes us live up a hill

First extended period both of us off work with the baby, wish we could've made more of it. He's happy with the swings though.

facebook is baiting me

moving out in a week or two, but going on holiday tomorrow and we have rain leaking into the house, pouring from ceiling to floor down the walls, dripping from the kitchen ceiling, flooding the outside courtyard. I'm terrified I come home and find my stuff waterlogged.

ugh. Is someone watching the place so they can at least move stuff if it gets worse?

I'm going to move anything precious to another room. landlord is hopefully sending someone over to look at the house while we're away.

Ugh, I just walked a circuit from Holborn Nationwide to the little Waitrose and back home again, in a Barbour, and got home absolutely wringing wet.

shit DL that is terrible. Has it happened before?

miserable pissy rain torrential downpour

5degC and pissy miserable rain in the morning ugh :( winter in Melbourne can suck arse sometimes.

shit

I just opened this thread and it started to rain :(

aw man what did you want to go and do that for

Soggy again.

A hint of sunshine would have been nice.

classic reliving my youth. standing in the rain waiting for a bus going to a party in the miserable pissy rain. beer in plastic bags. first bus shoots past. bus a back street stopper. going to walk home for three hours later just to go the full proust.

Soggy again.

just played a full 90 in this

holy shitballs, Batman
(sudden torrential downpour just came out of nowhere during a 24 dec C day)

See what happens when you complain about it being too hot?

rain is good, it tests our new gutters

naturally they are failing the test, at the same mysterious place they always fail

We haven't all got gutters that need testing, mark. Or do we?

Feeling a bit foolish giving out materials I prepared for my students' trip to Cambridge tomorrow which tell them all about punting down the river, sitting in the parks and an open-air swimming pool.
