So it's nearly July and it's Grey, Quite Chilly, and it's Peeing it down...

Don't know about you but the Weather here feels more like Autumn here not June. Not what I'd call Summer. More like October really.

I live just North of Manchester and for the past three days it's been Rain Rain Rain...

Nothing wrong with that, we are in the UK so it's expected but it's also not been very warm this week either. I mean it's not got above 14C this week. That's well below average for this time of year. Even with a hoodie on it's felt quite chilly at points. In fact it's almost winter coat weather out there.
I know I am not one to complain about cooler weather (more the other way around), and no, I don't expect to be able to go out in t-shirts every day, but I think it is reasonable to expect one to be able to put their coat away during the "warmer" Summer months. My raincoat is still hanging up behind my door....

The only thing that feels Summery here at the moment is the long daylight hours (sun up is from 4:40am - 9:45pm) but even then it's being going dark sooner than normal at this time of year because it's nearly always been cloudy at night. I love a good Sunset but I've not seen a proper one for weeks...

I've looked ahead at the Weather forecast for next week, and the highest temp forecast is 15/16C Max.

At the moment the temp has now dropped to 12C and raining. That was also the temp here last January! Even for Northern England that is pretty poor for the middle of Summer. Had to put the light on now as it's getting really gloomy as well.

Guess we've had the Summer guys. Might as well forget Summer and get prepared for Winter again now. Nothing to do now but Put on a coat, Go shopping for Winter Hats and Boots, Buy a Christmas Tree, Buy some Winter Tyres, Get some De-Icer, Turn the Heating On, Turn the Lights On, Draw the Curtains, Put the Clocks back, Make some Broth and we're done.

No, its just very changeable - bright sunshine one minute, then pissing down the next!

Still, constantly moving the clothes airer from the garden back into the house and out again must be using up a few calories

The height of summer usually occurs between early July and mid August in the UK. Sort of a 6 week period where we have the best chance of getting the hottest weather.

We're still in the buildup. Of course, it could still end up being a terrible summer anyway, just don't write it off yet.

last decent summer i remember was 2013, 2014 and that only had a few weeks of hot weather. before that i'd probably say 2006. so yeah good summers are pretty rare here

Well it augurs well for an Indian Summer when I'll be taking my third holiday of the year in the UK. I'm usually lucky with the weather so I wouldn't want to break a fine tradition.

It is very normal late June weather. Typical of Wimbledon fortnight which most people are familiar enough with. Very occasionally you get a year when it is dry every day, but more often than not, the tournament is interrupted by rain.

Astronomically summer only began last week, don't write it off just yet. It's been a gloomy few weeks in London but far from cold. Hopefully we see a return to the great weather we had in May and the start of June.

This time last year we were just days away from the hottest July day on record.

..which would be just as unwelcome as some seem to find this perfectly normal June weather. Why on earth anyone wants it to be anything like as hot as the hottest July day on record is quite beyond me.

Seems to be like this these days I had my winter coat on today walking the dog, but then yesterday was boiling when I did the same walk. On the flip side we do also seem to get days that are as mild as today in December and January, I think more and more these days that rather than seasons where it's boiling and then freezing we seem to get middle ground the majority of the time

I'll go with that. Every day since we voted to leave, we have had rain. The only decent day we've had was Saturday which was quite pleasant - mostly sunny and 16C. Even then though it spoiled itself by bucketing it down later on. Sunday was blanket grey all day and rain, Monday morning was really chilly, this morning not quite so bad.

Tommorow is supposed to be heavy rain all day, and every day for the rest of this week is forecast for rain for at least part of the day.
