Lovely memorial. You knew Summer more than I. We only met very briefly for few hours last week. In that time I knew I’d experienced something special, that will always be in my memory. I am thankful of that fleeting encounter and now, we, with you, will spend the rest of the year mourning. RIP indeed.
Promising young footballer, always missed, heaven's gained an angle etc etcIn truth of course British summer never showed promise of any kind, was often deceitful and frequently stabbed you in the back. Which is why those of us who can go abroad to enjoy some life-affirming solar heat.

I'm quite thankful of global warming, the hell-like furnace which is now, er, the The Med, seems like paradise on Earth and I can't wait to experience the climate crisis in all its glory on my August Greek hols.

What's happened to it?
I live in the North West of England, here we are, July 1st, it's cold a raining hard outside.
I reckon there has been no more than six or seven nice warm dry days all through April/May/June.
Come back 1976.
This is what I keep saying. Since last July we've had only a handful of nice days.I live in the North West of England, here we are, July 1st, it's cold a raining hard outside.

It's genuinely getting me down.

I've posted here multiple times about my mild depression which is brought on by miserable weather. I can tolerate some of winter as it's expected to be a bit dull, darker and shorter days. But when it comes to Spring, Summer and early Autumn and it's still miserable, overcast, cold, windy it's just really fecking depressing.My mood increases 10 fold whenever I am either abroad in nice sunny weather (and I don't mean simply as I am on holiday), or even in the UK, when it's 8am and you see a bright blue sky and morning sun, which lasts all day into a nice warm evening.

Yes it's the jet stream. Has this event not happened previously in living memory? Because we've had bad summers before, but nothing like this. Although 2014 was atrocious...perhaps that was another, milder, jet stream summer?https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/ce93lqqev9l...

I am wondering if it's a "getting old" thing.We've definitely had crappy Julys with loads of rain but genuinely can't recall having this feeling of being cold as well.
This is not the weather where you can just slip on a thin waterproof and you are fine.

It needs to bugger off up to Iceland. I'll even throw in some cod if it helps Shnozz said:
Just stepped outside this morning in Leeds and it’s brisk. App showing a real feel of 5 degrees. Yay.
I was in Leeds yesterday afternoon and it was blue skies and pleasant, t shirt weather while loading the truck.Got back to Preston and it was grey, pouring down and cold.
