What is the deal? It is great out there today and has been all week. And most weeks between May and now.
Some people do moan a lot. Best summer in years!

Are you talking about this years summer? I can hardly remember it. This years winter hasn't been too bad though.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah - this summer. The one you get if you walk out of the office right now. Think it is somewhere between 23 and 27 degrees with some light cloud cover, grass dying from not being watered! Trails are pretty dry too!

Err - Shortcut - do you live in London/home counties?

Go outside? I'll have to dig out my overshoes, hold on.

Been pretty awful here (Cornwall) since early July. For the fourth year in a row.
Dammit.

do you live in the south east?
Posted 1 year ago # -
There are other areas of the country than London and it suburbs?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yep, can confirm...Cornwall has had sh!tty weather for a couple of weeks now. Warm enough but wet and windy.

Full on gipping for the last week and a half in the north east. Dry trails are a distant memory! Overcast, monsoon style rain 3 times a day, occasional sun, muggy and often extremely windy. Not exactly what I thought July weather would bring.
April/May/June however were pretty nice.
As many have said and implied the OP would appear to be in the home counties (or south at any rate) and has forgetten that the rest of the country exists.
EDIT: or is a gloating troll.

foxy, tread carefully. You'll burst some seriously big bubble telling them that!

its been a bit crappy in Dumfries and Galloway for the last 3-4 weeks too. Lots of rain, not much sun but fairly warm.

Been lovely on the south coast imo.
I've never been out on the bike so much. I even went out especially because it rained a little the other day as I missed a bit of mud.
I even had to call the fire brigade to put out a forest fire....!

I can't wait for summer. Bring on the 40c!!! It's **** freezing here atm. Down to 3 or 4 at night and only nudging 20c in the daytime. Brr!!!
Mind, we still have a sprinkler ban on and it's winter.
Love from Australia.

I'm just looking up plans for build-your-own ark kits. It's hammering it down. It's rained everyday for about the past month. And guess whos got a hosepipe ban..
Posted 1 year ago # -
United Utilities put a hosepipe ban into place for the the North West on the 2nd July.
Its pissed down every day since here.

Dorset is still enjoying the beautiful weather that befits a beautiful county. Gorgeous outside my office in Bournemouth and has been all day, and yesterday, the day before that, all of last week etc etc etc

Looks like we've got your 40ºC, when do you want it back? Nice and breezy 30ºC at 1,100m, see if I can get for a ride later.

Yup. Still, at least we don't have to live down south where the only thing we've got to crow about is the weather eh?

Some people have no idea what is going on outside their own blinkered little bubble..

I concur with Shortcut.
In fact, I'm hoping the forcast rain for Thu/Fri really does happen becasue the trails round here will be better for it. Right now there's 2-3in of powder dust in places and it needs damping down and firming up for Saturday's ride.
Posted 1 year ago # -
22 deg sunny and muggy as hell here in Moray. hammered down yesterday and a couple of other days but that's been it since Apr really. I shall go and see if the trails are still dry later. I suspect they will be.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm hoping the recent weather hasn't wrecked the trails which were tiptop a couple weeks ago. I was going to go riding tonight to check but as there's a metric shedload of rain forecast I may not. Don't mind a bit of wet but monsoon is not my style.

Good weather is coming back soon for most of Southern Britain, according to the long range. Scotland is SOL though.

Still raining in Manchester. Rather lighter than the stair rods that were coming down earlier.
I'm pleased the most (self)important part of the country is enjoying itself. Because by christ we'd know about it if you weren't...

loving it.
tan coming along nicely, trails that were dusty have been damped by more than one light shower (overnight)
still the schools break this week so six weeks of rain is due.
apologies to my norvern friends, you are welcome to visit the flatlands* whenever you want tho
*traffic, traffic, traffic & £3.50/pint.

been like this for the last hour and now settled down to a stead rain oop in West Yorkshire
Posted 1 year ago # -
Been lucky on the road back and front with shoddy weather in the place I leave till now.
Its ok, bit of rain but not brillaint, heard it was better than last year when it rained but I was in mainland Europe where it was cooking.
At least we don't have dangerous spiders or large cases of malaria or horrid droughts.
Be thankful we have a mix but I do hate winter!

It's been very cold this winter, but now here in the South, it's been warm and sunny (mostly) for weeks now. Had a football game last night in the park, nearly choked on the dust. Could do with a little bit of rain (late at night) to dampen things down a bit really. Not during the day though. Too many healthy young things out and about being healthy.

Wish I'd shut up! Every time I say how nice it is it pishes down. Still they are only showers and it's dry again now! Best I dig out ma jacket for tonight's ride. I honestly don't know where it is it has been that long!

Me and my big mouth. "Summer" appears to have caught up with us proper now. Ok, so the ground and plants needed it, can we have less of the waterworld impressions now please!
Posted 1 year ago # -
I went out for a ride in Dronfield last night and the ground was waterlogged in places. Still was fun to get out in the woods as only recently moved to the area.
