Its turned into a bloody awful Summer again

[Uncle Spielberg]

After a promising start with some lovely days in June and July the last 4 weeks have been shit. Cloudy everyday, rainy, constant force 6. The tan has gone.

Only 2 weeks of summer left now

Shame.

It's the classic british equation:

Good July = Crap August

Don't give up on summer just yet, September is often quite nice.

There was a piece in a few of the newspapers last weekend that the long range forecast predicts rain until November.

Ive spoken to many people who said, "its been quite a good summer"

Ive not bothered to argue the point, but what planet are these people on unless they live in Spain and I dont know about it.

You have to accept in this country if its not raining and above 15c then it = good summer.

Is this the time to point out it was 23 degrees today in Sydney's winter? No?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

25 degrees here today Tim but cloudy, humid, light rain, windy.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It is not now a good summer, not as bad as the last 2 years but good ? no, not after 4 shit weeks.

5.6

Beat me to it Uncs, a few good weeks in June/July was our summer. What a load of old trossocks. Edgar Davids is gonna love Croydon's slate grey skies.

I miss the rain.

Its been sunny since March. Which was the last time it rain. Still, should get a good thunder storm when it does decided to shift.

This is the Star weather girl by the way.....just throwing this out there...

No clouds, no rain, no wind here. It has been beautiful the past 2 days. Winter is often better than summer here reall... Gets too hot and humid in the summer

Just so you know, the Daily Mail is planning a big feature on how the Met Office gets everything totally wrong in the next few weeks. Look out for that one, should be another cheery sales winner.

When the good citizens of Blighty set out and discovered the new world a few hundred years ago why didn't they move the entire population over there and shut this rain-soaked shit hole of an island down then none of us today would have to put up with this depressing climate? We could have turned Blighty into an island prison for convicts.

Er, the temperatures have been above average for nearly 4 months.

That would be cracking. There's a suburb of Brisbane called Brighton, we could be Brighton and Brisbane Albion.

 

[Scoffers]

It's the UK, what do you expect?, quit bitching !

There's a suburb in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne called Brighton. Might be in the other cities too

It has been a good summer. Hardly any cricket has been rained off - always a good sign. We had a UK holiday - in Scotland - and there was just one rainy morning. Temperatures have been well above average, not had to wear trousers or thick top, even at night.

I'd have a summer like this any year.
