    Is Anyone Else Getting Fed Up With British 'summers'?

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    its not that people 'expect' anything from the weather, I don't expect it to be nice or bad. I in general do not like the english weather though, its always mild, something exciting happens once in a blue moon and you have to wait another 5+ years for it to happen again.

    my ideal type of weather would be nice and warm in the summer with occasional thunderstorms some severe and in the winter it would be cold with snow. it may be boring to some but then you could plan for it and you would get used to it.

    I agree with that, I just wish our summers were a bit more like this (ie much more enjoyable):

    warm, hot, thunderstorm, slightly cooler, then warm, hot, thunderstorm, slightly cooler and so on.

    I just don't like grey, rainy, drizzly days between June and September like today for example and temperatures in the mid to late teens.

    I wish we could tell the jet stream to sod off to the north of the UK and take its miserable weather with it!!! :lol:

    Hi haven't been here for ages!!!

    Just thought I'd ask if anyone else is getting fed up with British summers? As apart from a few hot days here and there, we don't seem to get a nice summer anymore - the last one was 2006.

    I'm chatting to some women who live in Japan and they say its too hot there! I'm envious of the weather in Japan it seems so much better than it is here (well during summer anyway - Sapporo and Hokkaido have a good winter!). Sometimes I just feel like heading over there to meet them and not coming back!!! lol

    Anyway back to our summers for last 10 years from what I've seen where I live

    2010 - no great shakes

    2009 - no great shakes

    2008 - disappointing

    2007 - awful

    2006 - beautiful!

    2005 - nice

    2004 - not bad (apart from floods in Cornwall)

    2003 - lovely!

    2002 - not bad

    2001 - not bad

    2000 - ok-ish

    What does everyone else think and why has the weather deteriorated so badly since 2 Monday's ago?

    Global warming is just something our government likes to use as an excuse for higher taxes (green taxes).

    All that happens weather and climate-wise is completely natural. Trees in the rainforests could be replanted. Rising water levels from the ice caps (allegedly) melting? The sea water could be pumped inland to combat disasters like the bush fires in Australia...
