Typical isn't it... firing up like fireworks on steriods over to the east... but we've got lots of drizzle-laden filth barreling towards us from the west that will no doubt sit over us tomorrow and turn into persistent heavy rain.

 

I gave up on our climate a while ago. It’s just really crap, dreary and depressing most of the time. I’ve been to other parts of the UK and the weather is nearly always better or more to my liking. Got to be the worst region for weather except for perhaps the outer Hebrides or the far north of Scotland. I think we should all just abandon this crap hole so the RAF can use it for bombing practise.

Sunday - 29° and Sunny

Three days later - 16° Dark gloomy cloud and rain

 

Seems like we’ve either had boiling hot sunny weather or chilly wet weather this Summer, no happy medium, alough the first three weeks of July were okay. I’d be much happier with some cool, dry and cloudy or some cool, dry and sunny weather for September.

As what usually happens the weather has dried up and the sky has cleared just as it gets dark...

Felt really chilly and damp outside after the cold front passed today. Supposed to be a nice sunny breezy day tommorow before the next weather system arrives on Friday.

Wonderful fresh day today. Feels a bit Autumnal. Better than that humid muck.

Well it feels like we have switched from summer to autumn overnight.

 

Freezing cold this morning, an arctic chill to the air. Now a case of sunny intervals and blustery showers, just as forecast, and still feeling very cool for the time of year.

 

Hopefully things will warm up later this week.

Raining now, temp 13°. More like October weather. A few days ago the bbc weather app was forecasting today to be dry with sunny intervals and 15/16°. 

 

Why are we getting such poor weather at the moment?

 

I've checked the forecast for other places and they are warmer, drier and they have more sunshine (today I haven't had any).

 

London for example is currently partly cloudy and 20°. Penzance is mostly cloudy and 17°. Heck, even up in the north east it's warmer, Whitley Bay up in Tyneside (where my mum comes from) is at 16° and even Edinburgh is at 15°. Even windy Barmouth I'm Wales where I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago is 16°.

 

The forecast for the rest of the week is very uninspiring - mostly cloud and rain with temps around 14/15°. And yet a week ago we were all boiling with temps in the high 20's.

 

Thats the problem with this region - it's overcast, chilly and damp most of the time, but on the rare occasions when the sun does come out - the temperature soars and we all melt because we're used to it being chilly and wet. At least if I lived in the South East I could actually acclimatise to the heat but here I just can't. 

 

The weather really is a joke round here - it's either got to be boiling hot and cloudless skies or gloomy, wet and miserable - no happy medium. If you look at weather stats/averages , it won't look too bad as a few days of high 20's temps will balance out weeks of temps in the low teens, but of course it won't feel that way as a few hot days doesn't make a summer.

 

So annoying as when we had that hot weather a week ago, those same places that I mentioned above (apart from the south east) were getting cooler more comfortable weather, whereas here it was hot and humid and too hot to go outside (for me at least).

 

Wheras if I lived somewhere like Cornwall it would be 17-19°C most days between May and September with lots of sunshine and not that much rain (they get most of their rain in the winter unlike here).

 

Its currently 18° in my house right now, and if it gets any colder, I shall be having to put the heating on - my neighbours have already got theirs on.

 

And I was just looking forward to some nice cool and sunny September weather - you know, like we used to get. I'm not asking for much, 15-18° with some sunny spells and a gentle breeze would suit me fine. But we can't even manage that.

 

I will be moving out of this craphole as soon as possible before I get depression. I feel like hibernating.

 

Rant Over!

Certainly seems like now we've hit meteorological Autumn it actually does feel like Autumn all of a sudden. I don't mind as it's certainly better than sweating all the time with that humid mucky air from the south. Really hope we get a decent Winter. Apart from 2018's double beast from the east it hasn't been all that exciting since 2013 really. Apart from 2018 certainly devoid of any lengthy notable cold spells.

Looking at some early insights into this coming Winter it does look promising up to now. But I think even with good background signals things can & do go wrong. Let's hope the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly together this time round.

Crazy how much rain we've had in the last 4 weeks, the river hasn't been far off breaking its banks on numerous occasions.

Finally a day that actually resembles September. A dry day with a mixture of sunshine and clouds and light winds, a cool feel to the air but feeling pleasant in the sunshine. ⛅️ 

 

Its felt more like late October than early September this week.

Well after an overcast rainy day, the weathers done it’s usual thing of the sky clearing just as it’s getting dark. I’ve noticed this happening quite a lot recently. It’s cloudy all day, then the sky clears at sunset, then during the night/early morning the cloud begins to come back again. Anyone know why this happens?
