Can't think of worse time in history to be a meteorologist when it seems it's been an age since they've provided a forecast that gets the smiles back on faces. It's like the weather is broken! However, even though its cloudy without a chance of meatballs, it's dry and I bloody hope we can go at least a week without rain!

Took me a while to get over the 1 blue sky sunny day we had down here last week! Sadly it's full Kate Bush down here now, Cloudbusting! That also seems to be the form horse for the next week. My transition to Charlie Brown should be complete by the end of next week should this turgid weather continues.

Shocking announcement to make, but the sun actually made an appearance this morning before being swallowed up by a load of boring clouds!

Another glorious day of cloud, wind and rain..... Which has been my copy and paste of late to my friends and family around the world for the last 6 months. Utterly depressing and hopeless. I need that gif of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day "It's raining....Again" If the water companies fixed the pipes, they could give the water away given how much we've accumulated!

Sense a Spring Post Mortem thread will be in the works if this trend of garbage weather continues!

Another crap weekend of weather. Beyond tedious and boring now.

Went to a lovely wedding at the Hare Krishna in Watford this weekend which sadly was a washout outside. Didn't take away from what was a magical day. That said, more facking rain down here in the South East and all I can say now is that my interest in spring and summer this year is gone. The abhorrent autumn and winter has killed my enthusiasm for the weather for the rest of 2024. It's like Winter 23/24 didn't get the invite to show up! It's truly depressing.

Amazingly it is dry down here and a light brighter. Sun still being kept behind clouds, but this is a much needed relief and break from the absolute garbage we have had recently.

A jolly weekend of grey skies and yes you guessed it....more effin rain! I can't remember a time when I have been so fed up with the weather. Irony of today is that any clear skies will occur once the night sky moves in. Couldn't make it up.

Ooooh what's that outside my window?? More chuffing rain! Seriously someone invent those satellites like in that film Geostorm so we can turn off that poxy atlantic guff.

More gloom and rain this morning. Weather like Westminster yesterday, an utter shambles!

Summer8906 ah your reply to mine about it being 8 months of abysmal weather rather than 5. I put a bit of extra stock in that week in September that was unusually warm.

Summer8906 Ouch! Now you say that, even more depressing!

And just what the doctor didn't order, more chuffing rain. I imagine the UK resembles something like a wet sponge right now. Truly abysmal last 5 months of weather.

One of the biggest raspberries of a winter I can remember. Aside from the 2 week dry spell in January, it's just been dismal. Missing out on that snow event where it tracked further south across the channel and into Belgium was a gut puncher. This winter has been backloaded alright. Backloaded with a ton of crap mild and wet weather. Don't think I'll be getting excited anytime soon in an El Nino winter. Just feels like it's be one long rotten autumn. A blue sky wouldn't be too much to ask for. I know it's not linked, but when the announcement came out about the UK going into a recession after our noble PM only a day earlier stated that the economy is on the road to recovery almost makes me draw parallels with something nice on the horizon weather wise not to materialise a day or 2 later. It wouldn't be an understatement to say it sucks being in Britain right now.
