for the last ten yrs or so it’s been something like

spring – hot & dryer than usual season
summer – wet & warm season
autumn – cool & dryer than usual season
winter – wet and cold season

Been in and out the office all day but now ventured out on to the front line. Lads are soaked and now my turn as we’re setting foundation bolts. It just **** everything up on site when it’s like this. Especially on old pit muck….

winter – wet and cold season

Eight, seven and six years ago it was very cold and snowy wan’t it? I think it was eight years ago most of January was constant snow and at one point the whole of the UK was covered wasn’t it?

Edit, 2010 and December when that happened…

2009 and 2010 I think it was when there was snow like in the 80s. Not sure if we’ve had anything like it since… I do remember there was a cold year in 2013 when it was still siberian well into April, but again it was a one off.

my made up seasons were a bit of a joke btw 😉

Wonder how long it will take for someone to point out its glorious sunshine in the med?

felt like I was in a First World War frontline trench at times.

That’s somme overstatement.

Left home in sunshine (some cloud).5 miles (and 1000ft of climbing) later its black skies and biblical rain.Beat a hasty retreat to get back to the house….bone dry.Not rained here!!!

34 deg in bologna, I may melt!

This summer has been crap. Endless grey skies with only the tiniest of slivers of blue every now and then.

As Keva said, September will be even more awesomer 😉

I’m about as far east as its possible to get, and that’s also been my interpretation of the ‘summer’.
Overall, its not been too wet, but grey has described most days since the middle of May.

Loving the rain here in Brum, I’m running a lot at the moment and running is so much more pleasant in the rain than in the sun.

It’s wet in Swaledale but apparently red hot in the med (there you go wilburt).

Just be pleased that it was pretty good for the ad rock.

Absolutely biblical here earlier on the Varteg!
So bad the road was flooding down to Garndifaith

Yes, it got very dangerous, very quickly on the M4 near Cardiff earlier. Traffic almost down to walking pace because of the rain.

Do you live in Middle Earth?

Glad we got out this morning, back before the rain started. Not that it’s heavy, but a bit miserable. Feels like it’ve been a shit summer but we did have some pretty good spells earlier on and even last month. Just got to snatch the moments…

I amsweating like **** here.

Johndoh – I have that photo on my workroom wall.

Another fine day in Edinburgh. Not as sunny as yesterday but still warm and fine

Also how with all the modern technology availabie do they manage to get the forecast so spectacularly wrong ? Mon and Tues here complete opposite of what they said ? Yesterday if we had listened to them we would have missed out on a lovely days riding on the Quantocks.

This thread did not need pictures.

Don’t tempt fate Bob 😉

Clearly photoshopped, everyone knows the sky is grey and your clever blue filter isn’t fooling anyone! 😀

Maybe for you, I nearly drowned cycling in to town this morning. I made eye contact with a fellow commuter this morning and we both just started laughing.

Horrific.

Still I’m going to Wales next week, it’s bound to be drier there…

Quick! It’s stopped raining, I am going to mow the lawn before it starts again for another three weeks!

Never mind the lawn, get ready in your cycling gear to do a quick sprint when the rain stops, due ~1830 here! 😆

Yorkshire Dales today

🙂

So unnecessary.

Hope it holds out for when I’m up there at the start of September!

Feel for the fool who just moved back after 6 years in Western Australia! The Australian fiancée is distinctly unimpressed. The chilterns are in full winter slop mode!

Sitting here with a smug smile reading and hearing of a rainy time south of the border, it just feels like a normal summer here great skies for photographs but longing for high pressure i’m missing the East coast haar

This is not the “ride like a pirate” thread! 😉

Sat in the south of France with really badly sunburnt legs, I could go a bit of rain…

Shetland

Orkney

Been a nice work trip 🙂

Edit: one day I’ll figure out how to get picture links to work 🙁

Absolutely pissed down all day in Surrey buy dry in Eastbourne according to my brother.
