    I enjoy warm weather.  I'm not a bad person for wanting warmer weather.  I fully recognise that climate change is a real threat to humanity.  I don't want the climate to warm but I also enjoy warm weather - the two aren't mutually exclusive.  I don't particularly appreciate being made to feel like a terrible human being for saying I enjoy sunny and warm spells of weather.  I'm a bit fed up of people on this forum jumping on others when they say what weather they prefer - and that goes for both warm and cold lovers.  I've heard warm fans attacking cold fans saying "what about thousands that die due to cold weather illnesses" - yes it is tragic, nobody wants people to die.  However you can also enjoy cold weather.  Being a fan of a certain type of weather does not mean you automatically don't care about climate change, it's utterly ridiculous.  

    The weather community is wonderful but can also be incredibly toxic at times.

    There is a big difference between wishing for warmth and wishing for unseasonal warmth caused by climate change.

    If a month was a song

    Inspired by the post about songs that you remind you of late summer/early autumn, I thought it good to  post  thread on if a month was a song. Here are my suggestions, some are obvious, some because of the sound/feel of the song, some happened to be in the charts during the parent month.

    January - 'Winter'  by Tori Amos. A quiet wintry song

    February - This is the month I have struggled to think of a song, I've gone for 'Everyday is like Sunday' - Morrissey, a wake me up song, we could all do with waking up in February out of winter slumber when every day feels the same.

    March - 'Weather with you' - Crowded House. This was released in late Feb 92. March is renowned for being a mixed tempestuous sort of month, never knowing what it wants to do, a month when you carry the weather with you, fine early spring days make you feel good, cold wet ones fed up!

    April - 'You Gotta Be' - Des'Ree, again this was released in April in 1994, also re-released in 1999 same month. It is a gentle upbeat positive song, it has Spring written all over it, a pull yourself together and put on those new shoes type song.

    May - 'The only way is up' -Yazz and the Plastic Population, this was released in height of summer 88 - not a good one, however, it has a major positive propelling force behind it, apt for May a month of gusto and positivity.

    June - 'Back to Life - However Do you Want Me' - Soul II Soul - released in June 89, it screams long light summer nights

    July - 'Summertime' - Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - a rather obvious choice, a lazy languid sound, echoing the prime summer month

    August - 'Summertime Sadness' - Lana Del Ray, out in Aug 13 I think.. an undertow of melancholy set against a wistfulness

    September - 'The Way it is' - Bruce Hornsby and the Range - this was released late Aug 86, this has an air of resignation about it, it shouts September, when you feel well what could have been, as you begin to look to the end of the year, and reflect  on the summer just gone

    October - 'Golden Brown' - The Stranglers, released in late winter 82, another very melancholic  tune, the words describe the change in colours 

    November - 'Black Hole Sun ' Soundgarden - A shout of a song, when you just want to shout out against the impending dark gloom, where has the sun gone

    December -  too many to choose, I've gone with 'December will be Magic Again' by Kate Bush, not very christmassy, but has the wonder of winter about it, and the hopes of the festive season. A close second ' Always on Mind' by Pet Shop Boys, an urgent call of a song, driving and pulsating and bittersweet - an antidote to the smaltz and silly christmas songs always here.

    Welcome thoughts.

     

    In the summertime by mungo jerry would have been a much better choice for may, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.

    that post will get 'likes' even though it's pure guess, this won't though, I reckon a very mild winter, virtually snowless away from north/high ground, miles wetter than average, low pressure and Atlantic to rule! some may say a guess, but same difference as quoted one

    Why are you so obsessed with the atlantic? How about trying to put some actual thought and effort in to predicting what this winter will be like instead of going for the default winter weather pattern?
