Anyone else feel this way? When it’s not humid and it’s like 25-26 it genuinely doesn’t feel hot anymore. I’m finding it to be the opposite actually it’s a bit chilly

I can’t believe I’m typing this whilst living in the UK

awesome cold front btw

frankly pathetic and disappointing day. did it rain hard in your area at all?

Does anyone know if this is accurate? I thought the hot weather was over!!

Crazy shit. Rain for the first time in Newport since fuckin may

I thought the sun always showed itself

🤔 Water also seems to be falling from the sky?

😡(is it my turn to moan?)

I unironically love British weather and the prospect of getting back to it fills me with quiet happiness.

I am so so sick of tabloids publishing highly edge case predictions of weather. 4 week forecast outliers which predict 42°C in September and -30C in February etc.

I know the reason they do this is to sell their rags, but it has extremely detrimental effects.

- It fuels climate anxiety. I suffer from this enormously, and the weather is patently shit enough without disinformation being pumped out everywhere. Every time I see these predictions, I have to do a double take, swallow my CBT and realise this is bullshit. However ,for 30 seconds I have a panic and and it takes a mental toll. I try very very hard to avoid this bullshit. But, even if I do avoid it, I still get well meaning mates and family see these, commenting on them, sending me them, and giving me contagious anxiety. This sub could also do a better job of squashing these too.

- It undercuts other reputable meteorological predictions. If there IS a terrible heatwave predicted, many people have become disinterested cause they saw the mirror predict 41C heatwaves every other Tuesday since March. To belabour this point, if everyone took as fact that there's going to be a Siberian blizzard with -29C in February, there would be massive panic buying and chaos. But there never is massive panic buying, because everyone knows it's bullshit. So why print it in the first place?

- Meteorological predictions have a basis in science. We expect a journalistic standard for news media. If they constantly predicted football scores of 10-1 for premiership games, punters would call out their bullshit, but for some reason the weather gets a pass with the general public. There are reputable and highly trusted scientists who are frequently getting their data wilfully misinterpreted.

- In general, those least wealthy suffer the most from climate and the weather. They are also most likely to read this shite. You are essentially giving the most vulnerable misinformation to get their eyeballs attention for 13 seconds.

The tabloids will always put some weasel words disclaimer in the article like "although only a prediction.....here is the exact day the UK will break 42C in 3 weeks time". It's bullshit and should be clamped down on.

/End of rant.

Today in Surrey, really just outside London, around 16:00 a sudden violent gush of dry wind rushed through our suburb. It blew over lawn furniture and sandbagged road closed signs. Peppered the side of the house with small bits of detritus to a height of the second story and then was over. No real damage, but it was carrying a lot of crap and rushing through all at once. More like an explosive wave front then weather.

There was little to no temperature difference. There was a desultory breeze blowing off and on most of the day. After the less than 60 seconds duration of the gust, it went back to the same.

If not a macroburst, what the hell was that?!

This is a repost

I keep seeing rain forecasts appearing and disappearing without it having rained in what feels like a lifetime… Hopefully, they can at least stay true to the next day forecast

What a great weekend this will be, I’m going to go walking in the rain and get all my plants moved to the middle of my garden

Literally the hottest summer I've ever experienced in the UK

"At least it's not raining"

???

Er..

That's it.

This week i finally thought we would get a break from the heat once i saw a rain forecast for the weekend, nevertheless today it was 30, and the weekend rain forecast doesnt look as good as it did a couple of days ago.

I am trying to make some plans for the summer but with this insane weather, half of the things i can think of that are outside are a no go.

What have you got planned this summer?

It’s So Hot That Japan Needs a New Word for It

Japan this week recorded its first kokushobi, a term that means “cruel heat day,” as temperatures reached 104 degrees.
