Chilly but very nice in Surrey on Friday
Don't mind the hotter in summer bit, but that doesn't necessarily mean drier!Long range forecasts say its going to be hotter in summer and wetter in winter.....not good
It's Saying wet here all week but we have servere microclimate issues .This week’s forecast in Teesside;
Monday - heavy rain
Tuesday - 30mph gusts of wind
Wednesday - rain and 50mph winds
Thursday - Dry but high winds blowing through
Friday - Sleet/snow.
I don’t think I’ll be going out this week!
Last summer here was ridiculously hot. Like 42c in my back garden. We had a super dry spring before that and many of the trees hardly grew leaves let alone fruit.
This winter has been warm so far but I suspect we will have our monsoon season during August when the tourists are camping.
August is typically our wettest month of the year.
It will dry out here in area weeks and be 15c so riding will be good
No!I'm guessing here, but I don't think you're in Scotland? Or anywhere near it!
Did you spend most of your life somewhere more mediterranean?I'm guessing here, but I don't think you're in Scotland? Or anywhere near it!

And did you research the climate in your new home?
I guess this is why Mark Beaumont bu99ered off to cycle round the world.I am Scots by birth and ancestry, and proud of that! Lived in sunnier climes (Jamaica and Seychelles) when younger, ironically because my father was under doctor's orders to escape the cold, damp, Scottish weather.
Returned to Scotland in my late teens and been here ever since. Despite the weather, I don't see me moving anywhere else at my age. But that doesn't alter the fact that the weather is horrible for much of the year, and seemingly getting worse. Certainly doesn't encourage cycling among the masses, just a few hardcore. I sit somewhere in between. It will never take off here the way it has in the south east of England.
