Don't let them get you down. You post it all, hot, cold, wet and dry. Certain members don't like any mention of record cold as it doesn't fit the narrative. It's always great seeing extreme weather reports from other parts of the globe that msm would never cover.

Same here, worst summer in living memory. Apart from a couple of very light showers at least dry but with a strong wing blowing garden furniture around. Still a mud bath on paths I walk the dogs, akin to mid winter. 1/10. Most days below average temps, Very wet. Similar to July.

Another damp cloudy day, countryside is as wet and muddy as mid winter here, people are well and truly fed up now, at least the ones that venture out are. Think the current temp of 16 is the high. Worst summer here by a long shot now. So many wet days, so many below normal temps.

I'd agree but it was a sub zero temperature which beggars belief in August, I presume someone has made a mistake.

It's not just the bbc, it's all msm. If it wasn't for Kirkcaldy weather in here I'd never know that there are always places setting new cold records! A few weeks ago the record heat in Sardinia was all over the news. Until I read Kircaldy's Tuesday report I'd never have known there was some record cold! Makes you wonder why it only seems to go one way.

Currently 16c and raining))

The cold and wet summer continues. Another abysmal day, barely scraped 15c and very heavy persistent rain. Definitely the worst of this century here, now surpassed 2012. I can't remember a summer as bad as this and I'm 60!

Highest I can see is Cordoba at 42, which you'd expect.

False surely, all I can see is a high of 39c for Valencia today.

Totally cloudy day and 22c. Massively overhyped hot spell.

The extremely poor summer continues, cold with heavy rain. After a wet and muddy end October till end April, a cold washout summer is hard to take. I remember a cold icy 10 days in December when the ground was frozen, another week where it dried up in either February or March then we had a sunny warm week in June but other than that, horrendous for my daily dog walk over the fields. Can't decide whether it's worse than the washout summer of 2012 but given the immediate outlook I think this one will be the worst of the current century. Our June was also nowhere near the warmest on record and that period in May/June where the west had great weather? Was mostly very poor here. Must be due a change in fortune!

Thought it couldn't get worse than yesterday but Sunday rolls in and says 'hold my beer'. 13C, incessant heavy rain, absolutely abysmal.

Keep them for me! Last Saturday, sat at home midday, weather abysmal as usual and without warning the loudest crack I have ever heard, directly overhead. At same time I got an electric shock up my arm from my iPhone which was plugged into the wall. iPhone sparked too! Don't know if the house was struck with lightening or it was a thunder 'rip'. Scary.

How about this tropical paradise?! The abysmal weather continues and the weekend gets even worse! Looking forward to the Met office saying how warm July has been here))

Yup, Crete in the late 80's and a temp of 44! Was like a furnace but everyone just cracked on and no one was terrified! Lot of money to be made nowadays by terrifying everyone about everything.

Sounds perfect, another grey day here with temp struggling to 13C.

Woke to wet ground so we've obviously had showers. The cold grey continues, through to at least the weekend.

Not a chance the temperature map is correct for my location! From memory, same as last month.

Swap you, 10c here!

The cold weather continues, temperature barely scraping 9C today. Full cloud cover and everything still wet and muddy.

Exactly! Not the first time I've wondered about these charts, putting it bluntly they bare no resemblance to the actual weather where I live. It's been a mud fest since end October/beginning November. Mild spells have been few and far between and sunshine really lacking. To those that think it's been bad in the SE, try NE England for really poor weather))

It hasn't here. It's been abysmal.

Nope, no sea fret just cloud. Scottish thread is even colder, 6 degrees! Looks like we're about to enter our 7th month of November as forecasted weather looks very poor most of next week! I noticed frogs in a mating frenzy toward the end of March which is the latest by far I have ever seen, it's normally February.

Another abysmal day for time of year with max temp a chilly 7c!! Will it ever warm up?

Total opposite here, rain has eventually relented after what seems an age, cold with it too. Everywhere is very muddy and wet. Praying for dry weather. We have the North Sea rain generator to thank yet again.
