Indifferent Seasons

[rebness]

Today, I wore my winter coat with the big fluffy hood thing for work, with boots, pants and a warm jumper. The rain was pelting, the sky grey and dark, the wind howling.

Seriously, June... WTF?

I hope and pray the weather is nicer in Cardiff the Sunday after next. It'll be just after the Longest Day, and I'm not looking forward to darkening nights, dammit. Unfortunately, all -- yes, all of my memories of trips to Wales seem to feature the colour grey and the liquid rain a lot in them. Feh.

It was a balmy 22 Deg C today. Global warming methinks. It's never that cold here in winter but it shouldn't be this warm.

I agree -- despair of ever getting to actually wear a jumper this season.

There's been a few days when I wore my coat this month but it's been much warmer the last few days or felt so. I assume just because the humidity rose. It always feels colder when it's drier. Hopefully we will get some rain soon, those dam water levels are sinking fast.

I wish there was a magical weather-transporting device around here.

[saffronlie.livejournal.com]

We've had dark skies and rain, here, too!

...It's totally still anamolous, because winter is the dry season.

Isn't it trippy that your longest day will be my shortest day?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry too much-- my longest day will just mean extended cloud misery.

Is this the first time ever that our weather has been similar? (we'll ignore the non-balmy thing.)

I think weather convergence happens more often than you think...

oooh... in nj, it's slated to be above 90 F today, and has been... for. two. weeks. :\

i like me some summer, don't get me wrong. but this is uber hot.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Okay, two weeks is taking it a little too far. Can't you send those skies a little further east? ;)

Hello, you may have our weather (it's going up to 34C today). May I have the new Dr Who series in exchange? Please?

[rebness.livejournal.com]

34c!

Hmm. I have considered your offer, and would move that I would rather have these evil grey skies than not find out what's going to happen at the climax of Doctor Who this Saturday.

But seriously-- hope you get it soon. It's fantastic!

(Not that you need me to tell you that, but anyway...)

I will never forget my first trip to England (Southern England, no less), when I arrived in the middle of JULY to find Summer had decided to skip that year's visit and it was chilly enough that all outdoor tea was cancelled and I had to wear a wool cable-knit turtleneck sweater all week. I hadn't brought a coat... because it was JULY! Course I had a wonderful, wonderful time, but I was pretty amazed.

What drives me mad is that up there, above the clouds, the skies are deep blue, the heat is strong... it's just this perpetual grey cloud that shrouds the island. The second you go across the channel, the clouds clear.

(That said, your climate would probably be too much for me. We English are never happy...)

[wiebke.livejournal.com]

I don't like the climate here either. Eventually it's going to drive me back north.

'tis nasty weather here in Leicester too, with little bits of sunshine that make me think 'Oooh, I'll go revise for my exams outside and get a tan' but by the time I've got a t-shirt on the weather changes again.

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I think the entire UK should just emigrate to somewhere where we get more than 0.2 seconds of sunshine per week.

Well you did attempt it around 1787-1788 but they were all your convicts, the ones you didn't want. Perhaps you lot will have another think and leave the convicts to England and sail off to Botany Bay. I wouldn't bet on our PM letting you all in. Our Govt likes locking boat people up, but as you're all British our stuck-in-the-fifties PM will probably let you in. It's just the ones that aren't Christian or are well not quite like us (whatever that is) or haven't got enough money, he doesn't like.

But it's supposed to be a magical tripto Cardiff.. not gloomy. Bah! Hold me :(
