Weather to get even WORSE!

[Brandane]

What is going on with the weather? This animation for the next week shows a lot more wind and rain, basically just going round in circles over the north Atlantic and Britain. It's from magicseaweed.com who are usually quite accurate.
If this is the future, then I'm leaving these shores. Seriously. It's beginning to grind me down.

I don't believe we've ever met, C of S?
If you've got nothing constructive to contribute, as usual, then why bother?

Weather reporting, like the 24hr news is becoming manufactured, talked up or down. The forecast here today was apocalyptic rain and wind. Looks like a normal winters day to me. Off out for a run in a mo and the ground is the dryest it's been for a week. I suggest you print the weather report out and wipe your bum with it.

Any time now the entire British Isles look like being dragged down the North Atlantic plughole in this animation.

It is rather mild for the time of year isn't it?

BBC said that whilst the S of England was experiencing an unusually wet winter, Scotland was experiencing a drier than average winter

It was nice here, two hours ago. You wouldn't put your dog out in it now! Regarding your other suggestion, I've just jammed up my printer. It doesn't like Andrex.

Bring on the proper winter, with cold, crisp days when you can actually venture out without getting soaked.

Which only goes to show just how wet it normally is. You could count the dry days hours since November on the fingers of one hand.

[QUOTE 2905206, member: 1314"]It's just that if people keep complaining about how this country is going down the metaphorical plughole - or in this case the literal stormy plughole - and they are going to leave, well... for once can they just leave?

Nice Spring/end of Winter day in London, Zone 5. Blue skies, some white cloud, bit breezy, cold, sunny. This nation is becoming a bunch of:

HGV strike, queues form at petrol stations; supermarkets are stripped bare; parents drive their genetic bundles to school in tanks.

This country is great, I love it, and will stay here forever because it has enough bikes, love, beer and quids to keep me happy. innit.

The OP is about the weather, not HGV strikes or anything else in your rose tinted view of ...... London.
It cannot be argued that the weather in Britain generally has not been good, and particularly wet and windy for a prolonged period across large parts of it.

Yeh weird that - they should come up for a name for this time of year? Wummer? Sprinter?

No sorry, can't think.

All I'm saying is that this WINTER has been unusually wet and windy in most parts of the UK..
Terribly sorry if this isn't going down too well on a cycling forum. Of course we are all too hard-core to let something as trivial as wind and rain concern us .
Or perhaps some don't go out cycling as much as they would like us to believe.

Paul Daniels too. That's reason enough on it's own to emigrate!
