Why is it so blooming cold?

[Jenkins]

The wind seems to have been more from the north or east this year - straight off the cold North Sea for those of us near the east cost - which may explain some of it.

Or perhaps aliens stealing the warmth.

Frosty in the Office this afternoon……😳

Who did you annoy ?.

It's that almost constant, strong easterly wind that's peeing me off!!

I was on a job today, and the boy driving me commented on how warm it was, and I had to agree. I looked over at his dash and retorted that it was easy seen we are Scottish, complaining about the heat at 13 degrees.

I'm a wimp but today was the first ride of the year in shorts.

Sod's Law, first time with no trousers protecting my skin, my foot slipped starting off in traffic and left me with several gashes down the shin.

Indeed. My journey to work is mostly Easterly, so homeward mostly Westerly.

Prior to this year, I think there have only been three times when the homeward journey (which also has more uphill than the journey to work) has been a higher average speed than the inward journey.

Sine the start of April, it has been 4 times in only 6 commutes.

It was 94F last weekend at the beach (35C). Predicting snow at my house tomorrow. WTF? I blame all politicians except Bernie Sanders.
Update - yup, we got about 1/4 inch

 

[Jameshow]

Deffo colder up north compared to last weekend down south!!

It's the myth of global warming.

A mean cold wind in Shepherds Bush. I walked to a friend's birthday meal wearing a sweater and my late FIL's heavyweight Harris tweed jacket. This is the coldest Spring I can remember.

Indeed; nice when it's still in the sun, but the NE wind is punishing. Went out last night in lightweight trousers and a base layer and was pretty cold for the first few miles until warmed up..

Still, bright and dry so a welcome change to the soggy gloom of winter..

I've seen the Day After Tomorrow. This weird weather is the precursor to intense storms that will kill us all unless we set fire to the local library.

Whatever happens the King must not get on a helicopter crewed by staff with dodgy fake English accents until the weather warms up.

 

[Gwylan]

Seems as reasonable a proposition as any others.

Wrap your head in aluminium foil and hide in the shed for 8 days. They may not get you

That's a personal question!

That's the trouble with the weather. Everyone talks about it, but nobody is doing anything about it.
