Will we see a Summer this year?

[Jack Straw]

Quite enjoying the cool weather.....can sleep at night, plants growing well, everything looking lush and green.

On the downside...the weeds are out of control and so are the slugs

What you need is a diamond hoe, a catapult, a large bag of dried peas and a good aim!
By the way, the weather's gorgeous here!!

Have you got the right thread?

On a theme of Brexit, England out of Euros.....
British weather predictable and traditional, like the people

Bring back 1976.

Astonishing to think that small pockets of woodlands in the UK are still suffering the effects of that summer.

 

[symyjym]

I've never known a summer like this one tbh.

 

[Justice]

It's probably my fault. I bought a convertible car this year.

Mid life crisis?

Really? How interesting.

Do you have a link to some reading on it?

Hang on. What about all this global warming (bullshit) that's supposedly going on. Surely, with these (massaged) temperature datasets saying the hottest year ever, we should be getting more hotter summers.

 

[Wilko]

Cold here in Africa too believe it or not, in fact it is warmer in Brighton than Nairobi right now.

Mid life crisis?

Sort of- it's my reward for surviving a heart attack.(and realising that time is running out)��

Doesn't usually bother me - if it's wet, I'll do stuff indoors.

Except that I organise group walks around Cornwall, and it's a bit soul-destroying knowing that you're going to be leading wet walkers through thick mud, and eating soggy sandwiches. There's only so much road-walking you can do, and this year it's become a real chore instead of something to look forward to.

That's cheating. It's always like that this time of year. I'm planning a short visit so I hope it remains so.

We had a big thunderstorm last Friday and that should be it until September...

I haven't had any Sunday cricket matches cancelled yet this year. That's my measure of summer.

We haven't cancelled them, but in truth, the two games we've finished in the rain these last two weeks, really should have been stopped, long before the finish.

The attitude has been that 'the weather is so constantly shit, that if we stop for this, we'll never finish a game'. But frankly its been horrible, and really not that much fun.

I yearn for a proper dry hot sunny day's cricket.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

It's hot here!

We hate a smartarse

Friday looks a bit crap there though.

 

[Albion my Albion]

No, but I did see an Autumn.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Silver lining in the dirty old black summer clouds? No hay fever.

 

[Napper]

really need a thread like the snow one in winter

bollocks summer

Silver lining in the dirty old black summer clouds? No hay fever.

Even THAT is not sadly true.

This fella said it wont start til mid July and June was going to be a washout. He's got it right so far so I am hopeful.
