  1. Some good sunny spells here today allowed temperatures to reach a respectable 16°C. Unfortunately, due to a howling SE’ly near-gale with 40mph gusts, it didn’t feel that warm. Would be nice to get a sunny day with light winds, I’ve really had my fill of windy weather 

  2. The day started out beautifully here with warm sunshine but rapidly deteriorated with the passage of a cold front around lunchtime. Not much rain but the wind was very gusty and it felt quite unpleasant by the afternoon in that cold wind and under grey skies. The temperature dropped over 10°C

  3.  In Absence of True Seasons Yes, I know I’ve said it before but the biggest issue with our climate (by far) is the lack of sunshine. Year round. For example, sunshine in winter tends to be of the cold, crisp variety, which is very pleasant. 
    As for summer, I’d be more than happy with 22-27°C every day, lots of sunshine and the some useful rain from time to time (with some big thunderstorms too, of course).

  4.  CryoraptorA303 ooh, good news that the warmer months are getting sunnier 👍🏻 Still hundreds of hours away from where I’d like the figures to be, but any improvement on our generally woeful sunshine hours is welcome. 
    I’ve been interested in the weather for about 42 years now and London winters have always been predominantly wet and gloomy, but at least they used to have a variety of weather types and temperatures, including an occasional snowfall. It’s certainly changed into something much more dreary and depressing, unfortunately. Perma-autumn is quite apt

  5.  CryoraptorA303 Europe is a very cloudy continent, unfortunately, away from southern parts (like Mallorca). The UK is one of the cloudiest parts of a cloudy continent. Seems to be getting worse, too. Plus the UK appears to be going down the toilet at the moment. All very depressing, but I’m lucky that I only work there and live in a much saner country. 
    As a keen gardener and home-grower, it’d be nice for some sunshine interspersed with a bit of useful rain, not this awful long run of poor weather
