View Full Version : What's up with this weather and what's your temp??
Well I have just put the central heating on for the second night running and the temperature outside is 12 °C - It feels like November not June

What's the temperature where you are?
About the same here, Tim. However, I make a point not to complain about the weather as a) I like our weather generally, b) the weather in almost any other country is worse as I hate being cooked and, most importantly, c) I enjoy being contrary :)
My heating is off and will remain so until October as with every year.
North of France and 13.8 degrees.
Got up to 20 degrees earlier, so went to the beach :)

15C apparently, just had two monsterous rain storms though & some thunder & lightning :D
I'm in a T-shirt here & the central heating has been off for well over a month, maybe two :eyebrows:
The heating only comes on for an hour in the morning & half hour late afternoon to give me hot water :cool:
15C in Newcastle. We're havin' ourselves a heatwave :lol:

Here in sunny Weymouth it's 13c. Tomorrow's forecast is rain and gales and a max. of 15c. :) Should be better than this for June, shouldn't it? :)
Here I am with my daughter Daisy, playing with our "Boys toys". That's the Boulogne harbour wall in the background. Anyone else here into flying model planes?
It was warm here this afternoon, but the 35mph wind made it feel cold.

The thing about the weather is that you cant control it, so why worry about what its doing. :eek: But, its approx. 13oC outside and 22oC in my house, the missus always insists that it feels like the bloody Goby desert in our house. Just think all that money spent on heating could have gone on another upgrade for my 1210 (not that there is anything left to do. :D)..

15 degrees and raining where I am . Painted the hall instead of gardening .HO HUM :)
I don't really complain about the weather either . There are people dying in other
countries for the want of a drink of water.

Yes it looks windy looking at your daughters hair :D
Nice picture by the way, hell of a view behind you :stalks:
We had 18C today with sun till mid afternoon, then rain to cool things down. Ok for a little south of Manchester.

16-18 overnight outside, but recent cloudy weather cooled things down from low 20s. Currently 18 in the shade, lovely sunny day, 24 expected.
Weekend forecast at 32 with lightning and thunderstorms expected to make brief appearance.
Do not miss the unpredictable British maritime climate or the vagaries of the seasons one bit, and even though the temp here can vary from -25 to +45, it is slow and progressive....
There is something soothing about sitting under a parasol with a cold beer watching the thunderstorm roll in, the spectacular lightning display, the torrential downpour pass, and the sun come out to steam the pavements dry... Cheap cold beer and nature's best operatic work... Wonderful...
You see, anything over about 25C is simply unpleasant to me, so I would not enjoy your weather at all.
Different strokes...

Quite understand Martin, but the UK is surrounded by water which is why, if I might borrow Uncle Frank's final line in Death at a Funeral, It's all so bloody green.;)
IMHE discomfort seems more related to humidity rather than direct heat from which it is usually possible to shade. Bahrain for me was a real struggle in the summer months (40-60?) because of humidity, whereas in the middle of the desert the drier air, however fiery is easier to breathe, albeit slowly.... Wouldn't choose to live there though....:eek:
Conversely, I have felt colder in the UK at 0 from the damp than I ever did here at the same temerature, and below -20 is quite refreshing as the moisture drops out. Get a nice day, and it's barbecues in the snow....:cool:
The worst cities for me were Tokyo and Istanbul, both very hot and humid and seriously uncomfortable when using the public transport system. The difference is that I go back to Istanbul whenever I can as I love the place.

I'm with you Martin :) 18 - 20C is nice & comfortable :eyebrows:
Nowt wrong with a bit of rain... Get over it, people! ;)
I love the smell in the air, after it has just rained, or wet leaves, as you walk through a deserted park, just before nightfall, or watching the rain drip down outside the window, when you're inside the house, all cosy and warm, or taking shelter outside somewhere, listening to the rain fall down around you: the sound has a wonderful sense of peacefulness and serenity...
I also hate extremely hot weather. Humidity is the worst, especially in cities... I simply can't cope with being in hot, sweaty, cities in the summer - in ANY country.
If we're abroad in Europe, in the summer, you'll find us up in the hills in the country somewhere, nice and remote, sitting in the shade, with a nice cool beer, or back home, in the garden, doing exactly the same thing! :eyebrows:

I don't mind rain either, I'm just not happy with stupidly hot temperatures (well, in the UK at least where it tends to be humid) :rolleyes:
At least if it's cold you can put more clothes on ;)
. . . anything over about 25C is simply unpleasant to me,
Oooo yummie, 25°C and plus is nice :) I lived in the Caymans for two years and the water temperature there sometimes reached 30°C, luvly jubbly.
Different strokes as you say, but you do acclimatise quite quickly if you live in that kind of heat. Warm rain is wonderful...........

Lol - different strokes, indeed. That would be UTTER HELL for me. Give me -20°C, in the snow, in some place like Austria, any day!! ;)
One of the reasons I hate London so much is because one year I made the unfortunate mistake of using the Underground, on a baking-hot day in July, crammed into a carriage, standing for half an hour, along with 100s of the 'unwashed public'... NEVER AGAIN!!! :nono: :nono:

Yeah, I f**ked up like that too - had to travel about 14 stops as well. Murder, absolute nightmare. I don't panic and I don't get claustrophobic but after 40 minutes I was seriously thinking about getting off at the next station and just walking.
I like London but only in short doses and I never use the tube in rush hours any more.

I just finished a six month sentence/contract down there a month ago, on the Northern line from Golder's Green (B&B) to Elephant & Castle (work) every fecking day...via Bank!!!
It was bad enough in winter and spring, I can't imagine the full horror of a summer's day in rush hour...and then when the olympics start NO NO NO!!! :stalks:
R.E. The current weather, it's June FFS, there's a reason why Glastonbury is always muddy...and that's usually the end of the Month
You lot need better resistance. The Underground is fun and can be a test of survival, but no worse than any other subway system at rush hour, and I've been on loads. Panic no longer, they're introducing aircon on the latest tube trains.

Glasto's not always muddy! :lol:
Yeah but……….
Nowt wrong with a bit of rain; I have it on good authority that skin is completely waterproof. :eyebrows:
However, having endured what from my recollection was a particularly indifferent and damp winter, hoping for a bit of sunshine in June doesn’t seem unreasonable.:scratch:
Now I can understand why some of you “indoor” chaps that sit in your cars and need air-conditioning can’t take a bit of sun; wouldn’t want any mega doses of vitamin D upsetting the usual grey British disposition now would we.;)
God forbid anyone breaks out into a sweat or anything.:eek:
Now me, I can take it hot, food, weather, women :eyebrows: and having been educated that one of the great things about our climate is we get seasons. By my reckoning we are in summer and it’s just fecking raining and not even that warm. :(
You know I've had this discussion with my folks (who are getting on in years and are lucky enough to be in a comfortable financial position with good pensions etc) about why they choose to remain in Britain with its god awful weather...
If we think the weather is cruel here then just imagine how bad it must be for the old folks, the dark cold days of winter being stuck indoors and then when summer finally comes they are still stuck indoors because of the rain (and they dont even have fancy stereos to keep them entertained:eyebrows:). I dont like it when folk talk about getting out of blighty because of the chavs or the price of cheese or whatever but in their position i'd definately be off to more stable and warmer climate.
Sadly for my generation with our pensions blown the reckless bankers and requirement to keep on working til we drop this is just a dream. Their generation just dont realise how lucky they are :lol:
Now me, I can take it hot, food, weather, women
Yeeha, finally someone else who shares my tastes.
Don't mind a bit of a whippin on occasion too :whippin:

It is around 14 or 15 degrees here at a guess. It has been raining most of the day but then that is not unusual here! :lol:

I'm a country boy at heart, Martin, and love fresh air, natural scenery and wide open spaces. Therefore, I avoid crowds and big cities, like the plague, with or without undergrounds! ;)
Marco.
I'm a fairly regular traveller on the Underground and I can quite understand if you lived in the country it really would freak you out.
It can be rather nasty down there at peak times, but in the summer it can also be great sometimes :bum: nudge nudge, wink wink.
Ah yes, being 'unavoidably' within the personal space of some scantily clad leggy gorgeousness can be so, err, inconvenient.
Lol - yes there is that, but it still doesn't quite make up for the horridness in the summer that is the hot, humid and sweaty London Underground...
Give me some sheep, a pair of wellies, and the fresh air of the Welsh hills, any day! :D
Marco.

I'll drink to that Marco. Here on the South Coast there are lovely onshore breezes in summer (what summer) when it gets hot. Today has been particularly bracing with wind gusts up to 60mph. :)
That's the thing, John - I can handle severe heat, as long as I'm sitting in the shade outside, under a brolly, with a nice breeze blowing over me, and preferably sipping an ice-cold beer!! ;)
But enclosed inside somewhere, in severe humidity, with 100s of other people, especially when there's no air-con - UTTER HELL!! :eek: :nono:
I'm just not used to it. I don't function well in the heat - I do so, much better in the cold. Cold weather, providing that you're dressed appropriately, is also healthier, too!
I've never understood what the attraction was of package holidays abroad, where all one does is lie on a beach, or by a hotel pool, and bake in the sun. Say hello to skin cancer, or lie there, covered in Factor 40, like a basted chicken... Nightmare!! I wouldn't do it if you paid me.

I recall being in Las Vegas in '96 when it was 130 farenheit in the shade. I kid you not but it was impossible to go outside (for me anyway) away from the air-conned buildings (hotels, mostly). In contrast to that experience was a trip to the Saraha desert in southern Tunisia, hot by day and absolutely frigging freezing by night. After those sort of extremes in makes one appreciative of the varied and contrasting climate that we (well we do, the missus and me) enjoy in this part of the world.
:)
...and I thought it was us Southerners that are supposed to be the soft Jessies! ;)
I believe it is a Norwegian saying - "There's no such thing as bad weather - just bad clothing!"
One thing's for sure, you just have to get on with it - if you rely on the weather being right, you'll never do anything!

Here in Dolgellau, we have varied and contrasting types of condensation; drizzle, rain (classified as "Pouring", "Pelting", "Deluge", "Monsoon" and "Pissing").
We don't have "climate" as such. Today is a drizzling 10C.

I often wish the BBC (or any other) weather presenters would sometimes say; ''Today it will be mostly pissing down'', instead of the usual terms you have so eloquently pointed out.

Lol - it's not a matter of being a soft Jessie; it's simply about what you can handle most. I just 'do' very cold weather much better than very warm weather.
It's humidity that does me in the most. I simply can't abide having that unclean, sweaty, sticky feeling... You know, when your t-shirt's soaking wet, just with simply walking around, and even though that it's only midday, and you had a shower that morning - you still feel filthy! Yuch!! :spew:
I like to feel cool, clean and fresh, and most importantly, comfortable, at all times.
I doubt that many 'Southern Jessies' could handle the much colder climate we have up here (or in the north of Scotland), especially the wind-chill factor, day in day out - or basking in the snowy -20°C conditions, which I love when holidaying during the winter, in Austria and Switzerland!
You lot would probably prefer cooking yourselves to a crisp on a bloody beach :D
Marco.
Can't stand it too hot myself so you'll never see me looking like a boiled lobster on a sun drenched beach... :D

I am sure I have heard this before in an ad that was promoting those things that only ladies need/use.
If you had finished with "Because you are worth it" it would have been a complete ad.
Same day as my previous post: Drizzle 10C
7 hours later, beautiful blue sky and 15C
You can't beat Welsh weather for variety and a good SOH!:eek:
