Are we going to have a summer
Whatever happened to global warming?
It's been non stop rain here in the UK, we're lucky to see a bit of sun peeping through the clouds now and then. Last summers hosepipe ban (due to not enough rainfall) is set to be replaced with a dodgy drains warning (due to too much rainfall). My serotonin levels are critical, I need some sun!! |

how can people complain about rain? I would love to live somewhere (apart from the UK) where it rained a lot.

I dont mind the rain but we get rain for the rest of the year too, at least in the summer we're entitled to a bit of sunshine.

Oh wow, you guys are not getting much heat? Hear in North East US, the summer has been very hot this year. Also the west has been getting it hard, with many forest fires. I hear the the south is getting rains though and summer has been mild, which has led them to question the whole validity of global warming.
This is exactly what Global warming does, droughts and heat in some places while increasing and heavier rainfall in others. Storms intensify and climatic extremes become more common. The cyclones in Asia have been very intense with heavy flooding in Oman and then later in Karachi and Baluchistan. It felt like we were not going to get any winter this year with very mild temperatures all the way through January. But then we had extreme cold for over 2 weeks with the temperature constantly below freezing. If this pattern holds then hopefully before the end of summer you will get your share of hot days .

i feel for you guys...june here was rainy as well...but july has been too hot...temperatures in the high 20's and low 30's celcius...
and global warming does not necessarily mean warm temperatures...its refers more to erratic weather patterns...

Just 'popping out' to Cornwall tomorrow morning with kids in the back of the big bad Merc. Looking forward to 6 hours and 350 miles of driving in total luxury. Going to Hyle, near Land's End. Went there last year as well. Lovely sandy beach, Penzance. St Ives, Land's End within 10 miles, lovely. Absolutely wild and rugged sea (over 3000 recorded shipwrecks), once a safe haven for smugglers, pirates and wreckers. I love it there, simply adore it.

Haha, it seems like summer in the UK has been colder and rainier than the past few 'winter' days in Sydney. I'm probably going to end up jinxing the weather though

No.
It would seem that there literally isn't going to be a summer this year. La Niña is forming and for some reason that I don't understand that messes up our summer. |

At the start of April I was looking forward to a great summer and mainly looking forward to playing for my cricket team, apprantly it has'nt gone to plan and since early june it's been nothing but crap winter weather, all those practice sessions gone down the drain and the tournament is only 2 weeks away, also our cricket team has'nt had any decent practice.

At this time last year wasn't it like a heatwave in the UK? I remember June and July having temperatures in the 30s. Just goes to show what a crappy climate we live in.

This morning it was like a monsoon. I've never seen rain like it in my life. There was a puddle the size of a lake on the pavement outside my house. If August is as bad as this i might as well go into hibernation.
