I think Weather follows the mood of the locals, Down south everything is grand because we have a generally sunnier disposition and are better able to ignore the knackered economy and Dave & Co’s Cutback bonanza.
Up North the weather is miserable because that’s the way the Natives like it, they ain’t happy unless they’re able to whinge about something (or indeed everything)…

I'd go along with that.
Either that or it's something to do with geograpghy and meteorology....Who can say?
We all know Weather affects mood (the oft mentioned SADS), I propose a new theory: that it is in fact a circular relationship, and that mood can in turn affects Weather patterns, Now can Science conclusively prove or disprove my theory?
If it can't then I'm calling my theory a FACT! and I'll be whipping up a storm of ill informed contovesy based on it...
Seems reasonable. They're all miserable up North, so their weather must be their own fault.
One bonus - the surf has been OUTSTANDING for July!
Almost non stop swell - rare for the Summer.
Ah well, the couple of weeks of sunshine in June were nice but it has pissed down all day today and has been pretty much the same since the start of July.
So bad I just ordered a set of Swampthings from Next Day Tyres 🙁
Lovely and sunny up here today - AND we don't have to live in the crappy south - bonus!!
Scotland has two seasons, june and winter.
aye, Trailrakers going back on here in Glasgow - had the 'summer tyres' on for nearly 6 weeks 🙄
It's a bit showery and slippy in the SW. Not soggy or boggy though.
All seasons in one day up at Crag quarry this morning..
Moved down from up North a few years ago to Surrey and must say the summers have be way better down here.. especially this year 🙂
happy days for cycling and the cycle sun tan 🙂
July has been a bit iffy in Bristol but still better than the previous 3 years and it had been dry for a few months before that so I'd say pretty good so far.
I grew up in East Anglia so I was used to dry summers and hose pipe bans but the lack of hills and the fact that I didn't fancy my cousin meant I couldn't stay.
Bits of the flatlands round these parts are becoming unrideable due to deep sand. A decent spell of overnight wet wouldn't go amiss.
april* showers for the last 3 weeks here in Sheffield, the trails are just slippy enough to be fun, just grippy enough to be, er... grippy? - it's ace! - riding every day - i'm knackered!
(*well we didn't get them in april)
God it's grim up north...
