Koke Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 You got your wish. <_< 10 straight days with horrid cold rainy weather. Don't you love British summer? When you have to wear a jacket in the middle of July, you know you've failed in life.
Shrenchel Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Yeah. Oh so shit. Maybe it's just rose tinted nostalgia, but I swear summer didn't used to be this gash. Not saying every day was boiling hot but it didn't used to piss it down like this.
James. Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Summer seems to have moved back a couple of months. Nowadays we get warm, dry, sunny (ish) weather in April, May and most of June. Then it goes shit in July and August (new rainy season?) followed by some random warmth in September.
Flynny Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 It's supposed to improve. It helps to chant that whilst sat hugging your knees and rocking back and forth in the middle of the floor.

The people that run festivals need to get wise then and push them back to May then so I don't have to go all bear grylls just to get from the pisser to the pear cider.
Dr The Singh Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I'm still waiting for the 'heat wave' the weather experts predicted!! It's our anniversary this weekend and were going to a very rainy Edinburgh....feck!!
StanSP Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Is Global Warming to blame?? And aren't we supposed to get milder winters now too?
Flynny Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Is Global Warming to blame?? Course it is. If it gets hotter, it's Global Warming, if it gets colder, it's Global Warming, if there's a drought, it's Global Warming, if there's a flood, it's Global Warming. I'm not a Global Warming sceptic, just a person who gets pissed off by the media's inability to comprehend the difference between climatic variability and climate change, which by definition can only be measured by looking at weather patterns over decades.
dandannieldanok Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Glad I was away in the sun last week, hadn't seen a cloud all week and as soon as I get back it's bloody chucking it down.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I'd rather have it like this than boiling hot. I'm not a fan of feeling a bit sweaty all the time, but some might be, I suppose. There's no inbetween at this time of year, is there? It's either roasting or pissing it down with rain. Is 22 degrees and a bit of sunshine too much to ask? Yes, it probably is

Guest Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I don't think it was complaint. I prefere this weather, if i want to be in a hot country I'll go on hol. All it takes is an umbrella to defeat this weather. Whereas it was so uncomfortable working/sleeping/eating when it was really hot and you can't do anything about it. Well said
Matt Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Don't ya just love an English summer?! I swear we don't get this amount of rain in the feckin winter... I don't think we have had ever a half decent summer for a good 4 or 5 years now, we've had odd days of decent weather but i'm talking consistent glorious weather.
Darkzzz_ Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I love the rain, but then again I am a strange person.
purpleronnie Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 It used to be snowy winters and sunny summers but now it seems like its a lot more mild and wet. p.s. Its 30+ degrees over here.
BoneDog Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Yeah. Oh so shit. Maybe it's just rose tinted nostalgia, but I swear summer didn't used to be this gash. Not saying every day was boiling hot but it didn't used to piss it down like this. It's true that. It was defo more like summer for longer in the 80's. And always July/August. And in the 80's it always snowed alot in winter aswell (not March and Feb like nowadays). We used to have massive snowdrifts round my way every December/January
Dr The Singh Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I blame the immigrants, they brought this shit weather with them!!
Tilley Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I like this weather. Perfect weather for me is when it's not raining and it's just cool.
James. Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I'm cold. You're also a moderator. When the hell did that happen? I thought you were just a mere "Forum Leader".
lookwhaticando Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 For the first time in... well, probably forever, Ottawa is the place to be. 22 degrees. Scattered cloud. No humidity to speak of. Spot on.
