Don't know how true it is, but recent discussions on the winter thread are stating about this period of weather is very similar to that of November 2009. If so, does anyone remember what the winter was like, as it seems to be something that people are thinking could be similar this year.
December 2009 was very cold and lots of snow (in Glasgow anyway). Didn't break until mid January

OMG, fingers crossed this south easterly comes off. Ideal direction for my neck of the woods. Me and my tomato plants will take a couple of weeks of that.

Thought it would be good to do a quick comparison of London versus other cities at a similar latitude in the northern hemisphere, on annual average sunshine hours.
London: 1,675
Hamburg: 1,581
Amsterdam: 1,662
Berlin: 1,758
Paris: 1,717
Warsaw: 1,998
New York: 2,534
Toronto: 2,066
Vancouver: 1,818
New York is at the same latitude as Madrid, not London. Sorry...just happen to know that from a quiz one time

I'm in Sicily right now. Didn't find the heat too bad in Palermo, but last night in Cefalu i was struggling. Almost felt like a steam room when near the sea
-
This is why you never moan about warm, dry weather. It will inevitably end. 24 days of good weather coming to an end for Glasgow.
Fortunately Sicily looks like being back to normal just in time for me heading there. And the forecast in Glasgow should mean enough rain that i won't come back to lots of wilting tomato plants.

I've had a few friends and family members visit Santorini etc and they never mentioned any strong winds, and they've all shown me photos of them eating outside, having drink/food on the beach etc.
Not sure if they just got lucky or you got unlucky with the wind situation, who knows.
I'll give you a shout re any recommendations for restuarants etc! I'm not doing Santorini but probably Naxos, Paros, Koufonisia and maybe Milos.

Wind is fine on a hot day, unless it's a freezing cold wind like this N-Sea one we've been having in the South East for weeks!
What time of year did you go there?
And if you're visiting any of the islands I did I'm happy to give restaurant recommendations etc

Late June to mid July. The wind is good for keeping the heat down, but not so good when trying to eat outside. We used the ferries a lot, big ships not a problem with the wind, but the little one from Folegandros to Santorini was a nightmare

I'm going to the Cyclades Islands in the middle of June and looks similar, but it's still too far away to be properly accurate.
A couple of showers is fine, but prolonged periods of rain and /or cloud won't be good...seeing as there's very little to do on those islands other than bum around on the beach!
I did an 18 day tour of The Cyclades last year - Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Folegandros. It's the wind that will bother you more than the rain probably. Pretty constant strong winds for the 18days we were there.

For god sake, can this never ending high just move 150 miles NW......never ending grey is no good

Looking wet and miserable for many over the next ten days if the ECM total rainfall chart is anything to go by. Over 70mm for many, but Central England perhaps fairing better. Summer still to begin for the North West, only 2 decent days so far.
That looks almost perfect for someone heading to the Greek Islands for two weeks on 25th June who is worried his tomato plants in Glasgow may dry out

Another gorgeous day outside. Keep heading out to the garden for an hour at lunchtime and it feels weird that there is still nothing much to do. Tomatoes still seedlings indoors, onions, carrots etc have barely sprouted.
Only thing needing done is watering the strawberries that were overwintered in pots.
All the bees are in for a shock next week!

I lived in Brisbane for a couple of years. I remember how bad 120mm of rain in one day felt back in Jan 2013, can't imagine what this would have been like. 700mm in 3 days.

Really picked up in Glasgow in last 20mins, almost out of nowhere.

All,

Weather was pretty rough on the Friday night and cold on the Saturday and Sunday. This is a photo about a mile south of the site near Tomatin

Noise of the wind around my hotel at Inverness Airport is mental....just about to head for a shift on the railway at Tomatin. Not looking forward to being out in this all night

Pavements and woodland paths all lethal. Rain has turned to ice on the cold ground. Canned the dog walk halfway through. Bring on the thaw now!
