Agreed. I feel we are getting a reward for such a cold and grim first half of the year. Loving the weather at the moment, not hot or cold, no heavy clothing needed, not too wet, no central heating bills. Can leave the house without too much planning. Perfectly usable and able to function.

Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
Dusk1983 replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
It’s almost like… we can’t predict the future -
You couldn’t put a country in a worse place.
-
Today must be a candidate for one of the worst high summer days ever.
-
Exactly. It makes me laugh to see the effort made to read computer models of 10 days time. We can’t even predict if it will rain in 3 hours!
-
Calling it now, won’t happen.
-
You mean 7 hours, and even that is a stretch at times.
-
So it didn’t burn off at all. Worst Spring in my lifetime.
-
Firmly on track. “Forecasts” now saying sun by 6pm. I hate this country!
-
It’s not even cloud, it’s “infill”. Does any other country/climate have a specific term for this overcast blanket of thick cloud? I don’t think people from better climates even recognise it as cloud, which to them are white and fluffy or wispy. That’s depressing by itself.
-
I’m calling it now: it isn’t going to burn off until sunset today and probably also tomorrow. This country is cursed.
-
Yep. Genuinely feels like a nuclear winter! And I don’t want to hear any more about people being “comfortable” or “productivity”. It’s not a matter of opinion. This weather IS terrible for our health and wellbeing. Fact!

I’ve always described it as, the UK is the dumping ground for other people’s unwanted weather. My wife is Italian and cannot fathom it. There, like many places they have “their own” weather e.g. they are near established high pressure cells which provide regular and consistent conditions. A protective dome that shuts out the LP filth. Basically the UK is in a cursed position so doesn’t have that. We are exposed, the dumping ground for other people’s unwanted LP weather systems. We don’t have our own weather at all and I absolutely HATE it.

5 days from May and had my heating on low all night. 9 am and 6 degrees. Simply atrocious.
-
Heating has gone back on here in London. My word, I hate this country sometimes.
-
Abysmal weather. Completely dispiriting.

Winter 2022/23 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Dusk1983 replied to cyclonic happiness's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Snow and ice have finally thawed after one entire week on the ground. Heating went off last night for the first time in 10 days. Able to open up and air the house. Cellar is useable. Bliss! -
Winter 2022/23 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Dusk1983 replied to cyclonic happiness's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Depression in the model thread, but here in the real world, I’ve had the boiler on for 2 weeks solid, my entire road is still an ice rink after 5 days, bins still haven’t been collected and I’m tired of just being cold. A two week cold spell is quite exceptional and more than sufficient, if you want more then move to Scandinavia. -
Spring and Summer weather moans
Dusk1983 replied to Community Team's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Genuine question. Are you overweight? Speaking from experience when I’ve been heavier the difference in perceived temperature is very noticeable -
Autumn 2021 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Dusk1983 replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Today is everything that’s crap about the UK climate, grey as far as the eye can see, no sun, no wind, not cold yet still too cold to stay out in light clothing, but at the same time too warm to wear a coat and wrap up for long walks without sweating. Just interminable featureless middling depressing dross. Little wonder we’re a nation of alcoholics. -
Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter
Dusk1983 replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Like a nuclear winter out there today. -
The “five day forecast” changes every day, making it a one day forecast.

Winter 2013-2014 Discussion- Part 2
Dusk1983 replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Hardly a troll. Yes I'm a weather enthusiast but I'm also someone who has to use public transport and pay heating bills. I can't speak for everyone but certainly is my daily life, given the things I've mentioned most people are very pleased to have a mild winter.Doesn't mean we don't like cold weather but you can't argue that there are many benefits to a mild winter. -
Winter 2013-2014 Discussion- Part 2
Dusk1983 replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Absolutely loving this mild Winter, as are most people I know. Minimum of transport disruption, not needing to use much heating - much, much needed in these financially straightened times - and not needing to use Winter coats. Easier to be outside, easier to travel, safer and cheaper. next up... Roll on Spring :-) -
