Perfect summer - 3 months of around 23-27°C every day, above average sunshine throughout, frequent thunderstorms and the occasional heavy frontal rainfall event. Of course, it won’t happen
-
CryoraptorA303 I planted some fruit trees last year in Czechia and some have baby fruit on them this spring, hopefully they won’t get frozen off. Apricots and greengages, so far. This April has certainly felt warmer than last year, but the last week has dramatically changed that and in west London, I think April 2023 was sunnier. Next week looks better, thankfully, though a real rollercoaster temperature-wise in Czechia
-
Felt chilly in west London today, but it’s worse in Czechia. They had graupel and light snow showers today in cold air. A widespread frost tonight, too. Not pleasant and bad for the fruit trees
-
danm Agree. What’s more annoying is these synoptics in winter would’ve been very seasonal and possibly snowy for many. Instead, we half freeze to death in spring. At least the sun was out today, it’s certainly increasing in strength now
-
danm Very nice to see the sunshine, shame about the vile, freezing Siberian ‘breeze’
-
6°C and rain here. The joy is immense
-
The day started off ok here, if chilly, but the howling wind is again in full blast. Eff off already, come back when it’s hot!
-
cheese No better in Czechia, we’ve gone straight back to early March this week. Some sunny spells, at least, but the baltic wind is just nasty. A ray of hope showing in 10 days time
-
richie3846 Yes, we’re certainly paying for a few very warm days last week, it’s absolutely baltic in that foul wind. Think it got to the dizzy heights of 9°C today, the joy is indescribable
-
Got back to Czechia today and it’s been blowing a hoolie with sunshine giving way to heavy showers. Feeling decidedly and rather unpleasantly cold in the wind. Looks like an extended chilly spell here, hopefully some useful rain before it warms up again
-
Had some heavy rain in west London and it’s blowing a hoolie. Just 11°C, yuck
-
In Absence of True Seasons True, can’t complain too much, had some beautiful weather here lately. I’d rather have some useful rain than cold now, though danm That’s chilly, at least you’re only there for 2 days
-
ChannelThunder Haha! Had a chuckle at some of it, though the general level of ignorance/lack of education/fantasy is quite mind blowing, really
-
In Absence of True Seasons yes, looks a bit better in the UK. Very depressed temperatures in Central Europe.
-
ChannelThunder I’ve been watching the flat Earthers ranting about the eclipse, it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so worrying. Weather looks a bit grim for the foreseeable here, ‘highs’ barely scraping 10°C for the next 10 days
-
Back in London and a very pleasant spring day with hazy sunshine and a respectable 20°C maximum temperature.
-
Big change here with a good 15°C drop in temperature, no sun and spots of rain. Next week even sees sleet symbols for 2 days, yikes
-
Alderc 2.0 Sounds horrible. Yet more gale force winds, cloud and rain, enough already! Am home in Czechia for several days off work and it’s beautiful Getting lots done in the garden, though more seasonal temperatures arrive tomorrow.
-
Homogeneous - a dull word in many ways. Definitely agree that the UK climate has become more bland. It’s like most of the excitement or interest has been drained and we’re left with largely dreary conditions, which were pretty common before but now are the default.
-
Could this wind please go away

UK Rain Is There Any Sign Of It Ending?

Yet more rain overnight in west London, puddles everywhere but I can now see little areas of blue sky amongst the grey muck -
In Absence of True Seasons and it’s windy Again
-
Boooooring! At least it’s not raining….oh, wait
-
In Absence of True Seasons Am looking forward to this, I get home on Sunday night so will get 2 nice days, at least. Here in west London, it started sunny but it’s already clouded over
-
MP-R Same here. It’s just been a relentless run of cloud, wind and rain. To be expected in every winter to a degree, but that’s basically all we’ve had for months on end. Awful. Some stunning weather on the way for central Europe though, 5 days between 20-27°C with sunny spells are forecast. That’ll banish the SAD in no time
