richie3846 Yes, we’re certainly paying for a few very warm days last week, it’s absolutely baltic in that foul wind. Think it got to the dizzy heights of 9°C today, the joy is indescribable
Got back to Czechia today and it’s been blowing a hoolie with sunshine giving way to heavy showers. Feeling decidedly and rather unpleasantly cold in the wind. Looks like an extended chilly spell here, hopefully some useful rain before it warms up again
In Absence of True Seasons True, can’t complain too much, had some beautiful weather here lately. I’d rather have some useful rain than cold now, though
danm That’s chilly, at least you’re only there for 2 days
ChannelThunder I’ve been watching the flat Earthers ranting about the eclipse, it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so worrying.
Weather looks a bit grim for the foreseeable here, ‘highs’ barely scraping 10°C for the next 10 days
Alderc 2.0 Sounds horrible. Yet more gale force winds, cloud and rain, enough already!
Am home in Czechia for several days off work and it’s beautiful Getting lots done in the garden, though more seasonal temperatures arrive tomorrow.
Homogeneous - a dull word in many ways. Definitely agree that the UK climate has become more bland. It’s like most of the excitement or interest has been drained and we’re left with largely dreary conditions, which were pretty common before but now are the default.
In Absence of True Seasons Am looking forward to this, I get home on Sunday night so will get 2 nice days, at least.
Here in west London, it started sunny but it’s already clouded over
MP-R Same here. It’s just been a relentless run of cloud, wind and rain. To be expected in every winter to a degree, but that’s basically all we’ve had for months on end. Awful.
Some stunning weather on the way for central Europe though, 5 days between 20-27°C with sunny spells are forecast. That’ll banish the SAD in no time
MP-R it’s just not been a cold winter at all. It’s only been ‘wintry’ in the damp/wet/gloomy/windy sense. Even in Central Europe we only had a a week or so of what I’d call cold. Otherwise, it’s been nearly identical to the UK with buckets of rain, cloud and wind. Seems to improving quite dramatically this week though
In Absence of True Seasons There will be though, not raining for more than 10 minutes seems to send some folk into a melodramatic meltdown
Not particularly pleasant at Heathrow today, lots of cloud and wind and feeling chilly
Another nice day here with hazy sunshine and 21°C. The haze is being by caused by Saharan dust, apparently. Sadly, I have to travel back to hell, sorry the UK for work
In Absence of True Seasons haha, absolutely! Though it’s not been much better here in Czechia, a very wet run of months. At least the last week hasn’t been too bad. Back to grey, windy crap today though
