Think the worst thing is even if it's not actually raining it looks as though it's just about to! |

I absolutely hate this country's climate! its rain all the time! This was supposed to be the longest summer of my life (just finished GCSEs) ! and I have wasted half of it on these forums waiting for the rain to stop! I havent had chance to go to any nature reserves or do anything I planned! |

I don't mind summers like this one. I agree, it has been a bit wet and windy, but on the plus side, there's been no need to water the garden or top up the pond, and there will probably be a good berry crop for the birds in the autumn.
The sort of summers I find absolutely unbearable are the long, hot ones, like we endured in 2003 and 2006. Words cannot describe how much I hate that kind of prolonged heat! Don't usually find many people agree with me on that one though.... |

Seen no rain at all here today! A few dark clouds but they soon blew over.
Shouldn't have said anything really, It'll probably come down like a sheet later now I have!

Well it's like autumn here in Derbyshire, heavy showers some sun and it's so blustery. Can't wait for tomorrow as there might just be a day without rain, I get so fed up taking the dogs out every day when they come back soaking wet and covered in mud. Even if it stops raining for a couple of days the ground is so saturated it's still wet and muddy! British summertime - forgot what that is!

Here - the odd shower then sunny/blue sky intervals. For those experiencing CONSTANT rain - at least the grass will look greener!
