I'm not a fan of the rain, but I'm glad it's only been 10C-16C this June. June 2018 and June 2017 were 8-week-long heat waves of 30+ C and that got old pretty quickly. At least if it's 10C and you're too cold then you can just put on a coat. If it's 30C and you're down to 1 layer (or in office clothes), then you're stuffed.

It's been a miserable June, I wasn't planning on going away until August but I'm going to have to squeeze in another trip in July if it stays like this.

No more rain please, last couple of days I've been watching the Chinooks going back and forth trying to plug the burst riverbank at Wainfleet which is around 5 miles away. Hundreds evacuated there but as usual if it's not happening down south it's deemed unimportant :mad:

It's been on the front page of the Beeb for the last few days :confused:

I don't mind rain but its the cold that's doing my head in.

It has rained everyday for weeks top temp was 15c. I hate the cold.

This for me too. Hate the heat, especially when working where our air con isn't great.

Much prefer it at the moment, can actually sleep at night. Last year was horrific, drowning in my own sweat day and night. Everything is so green outside too - it was all mostly dead this time last year.

theres the 10-14 yr cycle the theres the 400-500 yr cycle .. the sun gets hotter (1960-1998) then it go's into a minimum ..
last one was Maunder Minimum 1645 to 1715.
theres also a 1000 yr cycle
I didn't realise people had been studying the sun and logging temperatures long enough to establish 1000 year cycles.
