But seriously, how can something as seemingly varied, and everchanging as the weather be so unrelenting crap. I dont get it.

June was UK's wettest on record

Last month was the wettest June in the UK since records began in 1910, provisional figures from the Met Office show.

Now the wettest period from April to June ever recorded ,
and the long term charts are shocking for July if you like warm and dry

Its like summer is not allowed anymore

[Aaronj09]

For the foreseeable, it will be very wet, cold, windy and the sun will not shine and it will not be warm ever.

Zero inches of rain since April.

It sounds like the climate is ...... changing.

Hmm.

Global warming is out. In with global wetting.

Hey, maybe you can send some of that anomalous warmth over the polar regions to here?

In the longer term, climate change is a much greater threat to our survival. Climate change has the potential to wipe us out.

Excellent. All my lobbying has worked!

Since global warming means it pisses down all summer I have taken action and replaced my kitchen light bulb with an energy saving one. That should do the trick. How long do I have to wait for it stop raining and get warmer?

Lets blame America for our crap weather, seems the heat in America is driving the jet stronger over the Atlantic , persistant high pressure anomalies(low ice?) over arctic push it more south than it should be, that means UK summers are fucked, thanks Americahttp://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/18695439

I believe in the late science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein's (Starship Troopers, Stranger In A Strange Land, etc.) dictum that, "An armed society is a polite society." I am indeed exceedingly "polite." Do I really look like Father Christmas?



I suppose my 18-year old daughter Siobhan could be one of my elves.

You are the ultimate "don't make my daughter cry, or else" father of all time!

Looking at that pic of desertswo is like looking at a vision of me in the future.




I have a little side job of mowing laws for old ladies. The weather is not helping at all. Unless the sun comes out soon.... I'll be living on the street.
