It must mean something else in French, or at least I hope it does.
It's too hot :(

June last year, or at least part of it, was an extreme heatwave. Not quite up to the silly season temps of July '22, but insane nonetheless.
Apparently cutting shipping emissions has caused excessive heat, so doing what was asked by climate activists back fired quite a bit...

Sudden cut in pollution in 2020 meant less shade from sun and was ‘substantial’ factor in record surface temperatures in 2023, study finds

I thought last year's summer was awful and rainy too.
It didn't start to get decent until September/October.

Yeah, July and August '23 were wet in Hampshire too, from what little I can remember of it.
On the plus side, it made me less miserable about being limited to 30mins of daily exercise all through last summer, giving me no chance to reach any of the South Downs hills.

Well that was not nice today, when visibility went from a 20km to 250m on the water and temps dropped a few °c as an angry weather storm raced overhead.
You can really appreciate how people get into difficulties on the water, when that happens

Yeah, North London was not good in June. I remember getting to August and being really annoyed that we'd not had a summer and now the weather would be getting worse. I think we did get a little nice weather late Aug or into September perhaps.

Yesterday, it absolutely tipped it down when I finished at 3pm. Everyone was sheltering under shop eaves - even those wearing coats.
I walked through this downpour to get to the car to go home.
There are some wimps when it rains. Its only water and we are not made of sugar.

A few nice days ( not hot, just not ****ing down!) then back to being grim again apparently. Tedious.

Blooming ridiculous.

Pretty windy last night too; I had to finger a fence to get it back in to place.
good news for air quality though.
I'm not convinced climate change is man made or can be controlled by man.
but cleaner air I'm all for, as long as it's not the little person taking on the burden.
