Summer weather thread 2024

[robfosters]

I’m starting this thread because I’m getting fed up of reading posts about people complaining of heatstroke every time a ray of sun appears.

So this thread is a moan free zone about the 2024 summer weather (weather of 2022 being a possible exception).

Although it’s summer, I still feel like I’m starting it before summer as it’s been so bloody awful and it doesn’t look like much of an improvement right into July. Still, weather can change rapidly and long term forecasts are very often just a load of guess work.

So if you want to discuss the summer weather in a positive eskimo free zone, this is the thread for you.

Good stuff, dont get the "its too hot " posts that start the minute we get a few rays.
Hope your right about it changing rapidly as its been rubbish to date bar the odd day here and there.

If it was less overcast, this last week would have been perfect for me, with highs of ~18C.

Personally, my optimum summer weather is about a sunny 25C

The weather this year has been properly ****.

We had a few good years (weather wise) 2018/19 and particularly 2020 was good. Last few years not so great this year awful.

I wonder why we’ve gone into a lull lasting 2 years now. When you consider the Dante’s inferno that was 2022, the sudden change is incredible

We love a good weather thread. And tea.

Corrected it for you.

It's too hot.

 

[Semple]

Was freezing yesterday in Manchester, think it topped out about 11C. Certainly getting fed up of the cold and wet weather when it's supposed to now be summer.

It would have been much more bearable with this weather had we had an early heatwave in March/April.

I do hope it improves, because this really is **** poor so far.

You broke your own rule

Tbf i've found the weather in the last few months pretty good. Winter was not good due to lack of sun, but recently it's been okay. Had quite a few grey days still but the temps have been decent. Chilled in the evening and a pleasant but tolerable heat in the day.

So this thread is a moan free zone about the 2024 summer weather........ it’s been so bloody awful

I'm going to need a definition of 'moan free'

May was lovely here, June started well but next week or so looks pretty dull. Either way summer in the UK has never been endless sunshine and warm temps, people have been spoilt by the recent summers.

3 Cool but fine days then rain and mixed for a long time, breakfast forecast pointed out that nothing fine is on the horizon but that is BBC

 

[Illusion]

I’m sure I read a BBC News article a couple of weeks back saying it’s expected to rain constantly this summer so I’m not keeping my hopes too high

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Moaning about people posting it’s too hot in the too hot thread, we’ve hit a new low that even gives mumsnet a run for it’s money.

The weather today, wet. Rest of the week, wet. It’s June. I get a feeling this is the summer.

 

[Bassmansam]

It's not summer until June 21st.

Yep, I too am a bit confused about what this thread does.
