Does the weather in England depress you.......?Its supposed to be the middle of summer, all it has done is rain for weeks, cant remember the last time we had proper sunshine......3 months ago was it? We wait all year for the summer and this is what we get, lol. 4 more weeks of rain forecast ahead, time to emigrate?

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?I annoys me when the sun comes out I go to change in to T-shirts and shorts; and I come out in to the garden then it rains for 15 mins. And so the cycle continues all day. I wouldn't care if it was torrential rain all day, tbh I quite like it or really hot all day; but the constant change every 20 mins pisses me off.

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?That's not even it. I wouldn't really mind straight rain for days... at least I can plan ahead and be sure not to go out and screw myself. The problem is when it's incredibly sunny, then rains, then is sunny again. That really sucks.(Original post by hiding12)

Only when it's hot. Hot weather in England is horrible.. muggy, uncomfortable and a hayfever sufferer's nightmare. -

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?It always rains at this time or year and being consistently hot during spring and autumn. This is why I'm loving going to uni in Bournemouth because sod's law declares that the best weather happens while you're in education. So we go to the beach on our days off.

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?I don't mind it usually, but it's been silly this past week.
Just today, for example. 22 degrees and sunny. Wonderful, I potter out all summery. Five minutes later it's pissing it down with rain and really windy.
I quite like the rain and absolutely hate it when it's hot, so the rain itself I don't mind. It's when it changes so drastically within the space of 10 minutes. -

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?There are worse places to live for the weather, plus the UK is lucky in that it doesn't have a high threat of natural disasters like volcano eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, bush fires. (although flooding is a downside)
But yes, it is pretty depressing when you can't plan ahead and rain in July!Last edited by ranbow99; 12-07-2012 at 22:21. -

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?I would prefer that. Heavens forbid we actually get some sun in summer, no wonder everyone is depressed in this country. Then you look ahead, before you know it, we'll be back to 8 hours of daylight and freezing cold(Original post by Beleg Cuthalion)
At least it's better than 100ºF and drought across the US this summer. -

Re: Does the weather in England depress you.......?I like seasons to be proper seasons. Cold winter, mild spring perhaps with some showers, hot summer, and cool rainy/foggy autumn.
This weather we're having at the moment is rubbish. -

Not everyone likes hot weather! I quite like the rain and it definitely doesn't depress me. -

Why would I want to be sweaty, uncomfortable, constantly sneezing, drained of energy and unable to sleep?
What boggles me is how so many British people incessantly moan about the rain and cold and then a couple of days into a heatwave sit on the sofa in their pants fanning themselves with the TV Times complaining that they're "sick of this heat." -
