Bloody weather - so sick of it already

[Dog Star]

Thought I'd have a moan
Oop north we got a hosepipe ban about 2 weeks ago - it has absolutely poured down - seemingly non-stop - ever since. Everything in the garden is waterlogged, flowers flattened by the deluge, run-off and broken branches all over the drive. I am sooo pissed off, it makes me realise just how depressing stty weather is, especially after months of sun.

To cap it all I got up this morning and it was lovely and sunny. Stupid me decides to go by motorbike over the pennines to Leeds. Of course it has absolutely st down with rain all the way from Saddleworth, I'm sat at my desk soaked to the skin and sick of this And of course my bike is now filthy.

Not a rant - just thought I'd share the misery.

so it's the weather's fault rather than yours for not looking at a forecast?

No rain down here in essex for what seems like months, my lawn is dead,everywhere is dusty and dry.

Stop yer moaning

[Plotloss]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. We can obviously afford better weather here in the affluent South...

[GlenMH]

I would rather have that than 38+C and massive humidity...

Lovely morning as usual on the south coast, no hosepipe ban yet. Was uncomfortably bright this morning waking up, I had to close the blinds a touch.

Mind you the seaweed has been a bit smelly recently.

I agree, yesterday the office car park was flooded & surrounding grounds are water logged. If it wasn’t for the fact the trees are full of leaves you’d think it was the middle of winter.
Even had to put a coat on this Monday morning! The weather is grim in South Manchester at the moment.

Sounds perfect, my vines could do with a fresh dose.

[ewenm]

Who'd have thought it, British weather being changeable!

What is disappointing is that we haven't got the infrastructure to catch enough of the rain water we receive so that we don't need hosepipe bans. Oh of course, that would require investment by and co-ordination between privatised water companies...

I just looked at meteox rain coverage, and I can't see anything like that approaching me.

I just looked up from the desk and out of my office window down at the wharf and we have sun and very little cloudage... doubt Im going to see any here, though a thunderstorm would be nice

[dmitsi]

We really could do with some rain, all the greens around here are looking increasingly mediterranean.

Had nothing here in my part of Norfolk for weeks. Water-butts empty, Lawn dead, flowers dead, pond level down, but NO hosepipe ban.
