I can’t believe the weather!!!!

Middle of June and still grey, rain most days and not at all warm. As soon as the ground dries up it rains again.

I think I speak for all of us that had we known this is what it would be like in June back int he winter I think we would have given up! After the wettest winter ever, I think we all deserve some sun now, surely?!

I must be in a different simulation to you. Today is the first decent bit of rain we've had in weeks. Very glad to see it. Summer has mostly been hot and dry so far.

Are you in the UK? I’m packing my bags to move
now! It’s barely been warm enough to take my jumper off this week here and the flowers are slow blooming too due to the lack of sun.

It’s freezing! I had a hot water bottle last night and considered lighting a fire tonight! I’m stubborn and refuse to put the heating on so I’m in bed early. Where it’s warm, under a 15 tog duvet with a jumper on!

It’s rained pretty much every day for several weeks here (Midlands) and I’ve got mud. I never have mud, even in January. Back in wellies and poo picked in a winter jumper at the weekend.

It was supposedly the warmest May on record. Not where I am!

Isn't horrible it's really depressing all week its been grey windy and raining and 15 degrees at the most.

I'm going to our house in fuerteventura next week I can't wait it's 26 degrees and I will be loving it.

Genuinely, we had a couple of nice days in May and that's been it. It's been absolutely horrible. Hardly any sun. Very windy. And cold!

It's 12/13 degrees in the day and 5/6 degrees at night.

Starting to wonder if the wackadoodle conspiracy theorists are are on to something! 😆

I'm going to duck and hide after posting this, but I LOVE this weather. This morning was warm enough to dig on the allotment in a t-shirt but with a freshing breeze. It's a bit chilly now but I'd rather that than the heat of a couple of years ago.
I am absolutely frozen even working away on stuff outside! 😳😳

Mine are staying in tonight and seem happy to be in - wind picking up and still raining here… my local farmer hasn’t managed to get any hay in yet so he’s having to ask around to source me a bale as I am getting low. 🙈

I think summer was a week in early May.
Badminton weekend.

Like the rest of you, today had me reaching for more layers by late morning (started grey, sun out by 8am, gone by 10, temp dropped by 11) and ended up in my big insulated yard coat when meeting a friend to dog walk and cuppa! Brrrrrr.

Same here, I can't stand those unbearable heatwaves. Not being able to sleep or get comfy because its so hot, I hate them

Winter rugs are on tonight in prep for 40 mph wind, heavy rain and single digits tonight. The horses are high as can be with the stormy weather coming.

We had a really good May but June has been freezing. It’s been jacket weather everyday. I’m optimistic it means July will be good 😂

I know I've got one in a 50g as he has no coat but the other one is naked as his hairier and fatter and he doesn't care about the rain.

I went out early to a show yesterday with a coat and a bodywarmer it was so cold.

Sick of it now.

My heating has kicked in! Rode in long sleeved top with hoody and air vest and wasn't warm. Walked the dog with that plus my down jacket this evening - wet, cold and very miserable.

One of mine was galloping around in a 100g the other day (her go to when she’s cold) so she’s in a full neck tonight 🫣 she’d probably like to come in at night again but I’m a tyrant come summer and it would have to be exceptional circumstances before they got stabled 😂
