To be so sick of this rain

I'm hoping all this rain results in a bumper crop of 1st early potatoes. It cost me a fortune last year to have to keep watering them and the 2nd earlies got scab because it was so dry. But a bit of sun would be nice too.

We need it!
The weather is not just about us, our comfort and whether or not we need to unearth ourvwoolies.
Agriculture desperately needed rain- crops, grass, animal fodder are all dependent on enough rain.
Anyway whatever it is doing this week it’s bound to be different next ☔️⛅️☀️🌧️❄️

Please send some rain to us we have had a massive 4mm since March, even now promises made go around us, were in the shadow of the cotswolds.

Heavy brief showers, one a hailstorm earlier this evening.
It's warm when the sun comes out, chilly when the clouds come over.

Typical April weather in May.

It’s very cold here but we badly need rain. The ground is cracked and the grass turning brown. I’ve been watering some plants for weeks.
Any showers pass us by and we very rarely get thunder storms.

TBH I was almost praying for rain - we’d had none for many weeks, until the other day. Yesterday there was really heavy rain with a howling gale! I must check the water butts.
The garden is happy!

rain hail and sleet on the Oxford Plain yesterday,
four times we had a downpour, in between clouds cleared,
blue sky, bright sunshine, I could see how badly the windows needed cleaning
next minute the sky was Indigo, lashing rain hitting the house, felt chill

I’ve cleaned the windows the more clearly to watch the rain

We need some rain at times, but yes it’s depressing if it’s every other day.
We still have the heating on morning and evenings.

It was so warm yesterday, bordering on hot that he was jet washing the deck and walkways topless.
Today he said the shorts were coming out.

Glad he didn’t say the shorts are coming off 😁

Think of all the places in the world that are having volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tornadoes, wars, deaths, destruction, devastation....

A drop of rain and a bit of cold won't hurt you.

Dh was supposed to be taking a new, temporary neighbour to the Isabella Plantation* in Richmond Park today - it was wet and blowing a gale just before he was due to call on her so he never thought she’d want to go, but lo, just as he left, the wind dropped and the sun came out!

*spectacular at this time of year, masses and masses of azaleas, all different colours, and billions of bluebells, but they’re probably past their best now.

It seemed to rain incessantly all winter, but we have had virtually no rain for many weeks now. Both big water butts are empty for the first time that I can remember.

And with just few warm days here and there, it’s cold, too! Winds straight from Siberia, as my mother used to say.

Friend in Majorca says it’s been a lot colder and wetter than usual there.

Scotland here, enough said. Just want a bit of daylight 😢😢

Beautiful couple of days here in Perth. Woke up this morning to another day of beautiful sunshine streaming in.

thank you for having the courage to post about the conspiracy nonsense that is being promoted that I, sadly, think is speeding up the demise of the entire human population.
I am always depressed at the complaints about the rain etc when I know that from the 1990s we were told that we were heading for a warmer, wetter world and we should be complaining to the governement, not each other. Many nations are taking action, France are making amazing changes.
For information sake, here is the Met Office thoughts on geoengineering:

Doubtless the idiots without a qualification to their name will still insist that they know better than 99% of the world's scientists including the Met Office. I just hope those idiots will be around one day to just see the terrible effects their stupidity has caused.

Hot in Adelaide and desperate for rain.

“Oh for goodness sake. Are you wearing a tin hat these days? What a load of rubbish. Do you also think Covid was a scam?”

Yawn……..
Still using that old cliched phrase ‘tin foil hat’, like it’s 2012 and nobody’s heard it before. It says to me you still have your head firmly in the sand, your fingers in your ears and your blinkers are pulled tight.
None so blind as those who refuse to see.
I shall not waste my time showing you multiple links on decades of documented evidence on geo-engineering/cloud seeding/weather manipulation programmes whether you pay attention to it or not.

If your response to anything that challenges you outside your comfort zone, is to dismiss it with cheap labels and insults, there really is nothing more to be said.
Some wake up -
Some stay fast asleep and are content with their finger permanently on the snooze button.

Not globalisation Global warming 🤦🏼‍♀️

Check out geo-engineering. Its all by design. The UK govt have invested £50million towards solar geo-engineering to dim the sun. The company carrying this out is called ARIA .
The sky spraying is rife all over the UK and other continents. It has been banned in some US states. Everyone’s talking about it. Many are suffering with headaches, sinus and respiratory issues.

Oh for goodness sake. Are you wearing a tin hat these days? What a load of rubbish. Do you also think Covid was a scam?

India, Australia, China, Canada, Russia are all looking at this rubbish as you refer to it.
I believe that if ( big if) it does come to fruition ( not in our lifetime) it will be a greater threat than globalisation.
Would you believe The Guardian?

my daughter sent me this she found on the internet. Our winter is not over yet!

No you are not being unreasonable!

We definitely do!!!!!

We have rain all the time nearly.Lancashire.

You can easily look online about ARIA and geoengineering but personally, I’m not connecting it to the uk weather this winter. I don’t think you’re being unreasonable to be sick of the rain. But for me, it’s the lack of sunlight. I feel tired, depressed and not that well. I’m sure the sun that hopefully we’ll get soon, will make us feel better all round but we do need more than just the odd day of it!
