When is it going to stop... Raining

[Alex321]

Stopped raining an hour ago and looks set to brighten up here. I think over the way the clouds are trying hard to open up and let the blue skies through.

Smug git alert!

It has been intermittently bright here all day. Enough so that we have exported 7.9kWh so far, with the battery full and the immersion heater at max temperature.

March was also the 10th consecutive warmest month on record.

Indeed :-/

There are people saying "warmest X months?? We'd like some of that, it's always raining here!"
They're mostly ignoring the huge reduction in hard frosts - this allows the average temp to be very high, despite continuous grey, damp days.

Either way, it's no fun. Can we go back to April 2020?!?

We've had months of the stuff oop North in never sunny again Manchester. Slop everywhere. Sick of it.

When can I have some sunshine and slightly dry trails ? Not even touched the full suspension since about July, and the CX bike has been running road tyres and mudguards.

I’m hoping it dries up a bit for the marathon this coming Sunday. I don’t mind a bit of rain during a run but hate starting in it.

Forecast is looking dri(er) though a little windy ☹️.

SE has only got 2 seasons now.
Season 1: windy and rainy.
Season 2: rainy and windy.

Been waiting three weeks to paint some girders on a bridge over a river and its either too cold or too wet. Hopefully Friday.
Food production problems next after all this rain.

On the 12th of Never...

Our roofer has been delayed in coming to fix the leaking roof as he has a backlog due to the bad weather.

@fossyant I feel your pain!
My commute is like wading through Loch Lomond
Both as a cyclist and as a pedestrian one gets splashed by filthy water every time a car passes by.
But what pains me more with all this rain is that I can't do any gardening, the ground is sodden

It has started raining because I've made the change into shorts. Were I to return to pint strides We'd have a heatwave.

We came back from York in the second week of Sept last year and it virtually has not stopped since.

A builder friend has not managed to work 3 consecutive days in a row since early Oct.

Fed up tbh - and don't start me on the hopeless weather forecasts...

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Oi. It took me from February until end of March to have a chance to assemble some decking in the garden - just not enough dry days.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I take full responsibility for the unusually wet weather recently. It's all my fault. I bought a motorbike last August . I had previously given them up "for good" in May 2022.

Where's my voodoo doll when I need it...

I had to powerjet the patio and paths last week. I was going to get dirty and wet anyway so the rain made no difference, just put a black bin bag over the powerjet and off you go.
