I love your username. It's very apt for our climate.
It's crazy that in the UK we can have warmer days during December than what we have had in some Junes.
I guess that proves it's weather that provides the bulk of the UK's heat. Not the position of the sun.

Here it's been jetwash style horizontal 60mph drizzle for what seems like days on end now. The price to pay for 12 degrees I guess. Still I'd rather take this than my car doors being frozen shut when it was minus 5.

Pounding rain on the roof. This has to be the wettest period for many years. I haven't seen dry roads for weeks. Still at least it's fairly mild.

Endless grey skies and either drizzle or rain proper for what seems like weeks on end now (although I'm sure we've had drier interludes). The dampness gets into your bones. No sane person would choose to live in NW europe.

Lashing rain now against my window pane. I haven't seen a dry ground in about 3 weeks. Those 3 weeks in June without rain seem a long time ago now. Nature always catches up.
-
A glorious morning here but as usual the cloud has rolled in from the west and its now completely overcast.
-
And still the never ending rain lashes down. My neighbour now has a pond in his garden. Would look nice with some koi. Hope the TUI B738 can be pulled out of the clag without too much damage. Until then the LBA remains closed. Lots of surface water and local flooding of side roads on the way home. Not a good day.

Bit of a fail with todays forecast with lots of heavy showers around.
-
Today is turning into quite a pleasant day of sun after a cold start.
Last night got down as low as 2.2c (much lower than forecast) and there was ice on the car windscreen.

Not bad. Let’s do it all again tomorrow!
Unless you live in northern Scotland. Don't think they'd like another 9.4c day.

Still overcast here with just the odd spell of hazy sunshine. The cloud just won't shift.
-
Slowly improving now. Can see the odd patch of brightness.
-
Very misty and murky here this morning with the airport currently reporting a met vis of 150m & a temp of 13c. Lets hope it improves as forecast.

Some sort of weird orographic thing seems to be happening here where an area of cloud is constantly developing in place over us. There’s been blue sky to the W/NW all morning but it’s never gotten any closer.
I'm in Otley this morning and the sun is just starting to break through. Agreed though it looks much clearer towards the west.
-
Overcast here and looks to be that way for the rest of the day so its the Met office 1 bbc nil for today. The rain over the Irish sea appears to be creeping ever so slowly eastwards extends as far south as north wales.

15c, grey, murky...hmm...
Where's the sun and blue skies?
Much the same here despite the glorious forecast. Not been a good week for the forecasting authorities.

Yes indeed. I think the age of motoring is coming to an end but nobody in government wants to admit it. There is simply no way that everyone who wants one will be able to continue having a family car under present plans and the ability to travel anywhere at any time will no longer be an option. Maybe shared / rented autonomous self-driving cars will be the norm in 50 years and everyone will look back at the old way of driving and laugh….!
You mean 'you will own nothing and be happy'.

The met office & bbc forecasts at present for Leeds tomorrow are like chalk & cheese. How could they be so different with 24hrs to go? Hope the bbc one comes off.

Watching the BBC weather (which is quite a rarity for me) on Tuesday tea time the presenter waved their hand over the bulk of England & Wales commenting 'thats it for rain' in the south of the UK as high pressure builds. Well Weds was a reasonable day, I'll give them that. Now we have rain bearing lows from the west for today & tomorrow. How can they miss those?

Pretty grim and overcast all day with low cloud and intermittent drizzle. Just 13.7c in rather a stiff northerly.
-
An endless sea of grey so far today with odd pockets of light rain & drizzle drifting through. Any brightness forecast has now been pushed back until this evening so all in all another wasted summers day to add to the dozens of others.

This low cloud needs to thin off quick if we're going to make use of the settled pattern here
Yes it's grim in Leeds too although it's supposed to burn off by lunchtime. That's if you believe the met office!

I grew up in a house with no central heating and spent most of my early teens mooding in my room where the temperature inside was similar to the temperature outside. This was late 70's early 80's style.

Seems like the east coast has seen a lot of rain recently.
Yes the coast seems to have been a magnet for heavy rain recently. However 10 miles inland the roads were dry!

I agree weather wise as it’s now grim for most of the year.
