Loads of barbecue carp, and decking tiles, clogging up the entrance to the Supermarket
Lots of Salad stuff on sale at reduced/half price
Lots of Garden Table and chairs adverts on TV.
It will all be in a skip somewhere shortly.
------------------
This Evening and Tonight:
Blustery showers will continue across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Elsewhere, strong winds and rain, heavy in places, will move eastwards across England and Wales, clearing all but the far southeast by dawn.
Saturday:
Bright start for many, but rain returning to the far south and becoming heavy and persistent. Elsewhere, sunshine and showers these heavy and blustery in the north
Sunday:
Remaining unsettled with frequent heavy showers on Sunday with a risk of thunder

OnlookerThis may not apply everywhere, but this is a well known Sussex phenomenon. This is the first week of the School holidays (Not Public Schools, they have had two bad weeks already) and the weather is almost invariably terrible, and this lasts until Goodwood week which thankfully is next week, so all will then be well.
onlooker, You're a cracking poster on these pages, nevertheless the glass seems too often half empty!
I live in central England for my troubles and reckon for a decade have never seen such midsummer grey leaden skies.

Torrents (pbay) no... RAIN.
lashing down all day - you need a bar of soap in weather like that.
chocolate rain.

The scenario appears to be persisting -

We've had about three weeks of clear blue skies and temps over 20c. Sydney winter. Best time of the year.
daily express said it would be a 100 day heatwave this year
forgot to say portugal

27c in Sydney this week in the middle of 'winter' ,although there is no such thing as winter there of course.
as far as UK is concerned you have to take the year as whole as there are no defined seasons apart from the 4 month winter which doesn't vary much from Early Nov to late Feb with standard 8c temperatures.
you can't expect 3 months of solid decent weather just because someone has named three months as 'summer'
summer falls over a 7 month period (depending on location ) in bits and pieces
so it depends on where you are - in Portsmouth you will get TWICE as much sun as you would in parts of Scotland . some areas of the north west of England get THREE times more rain than parts of East Anglia
So get to know your averages so you won't be too disappointed . This year is on course ,but still slightly below -but there has still been tons of sunny warm days this year .
This cloudy/wet spell seems to be a feature generally for the UK in August these days -it's 32-36c in Prague lmao
It will probably be a very nice Sept as someone mentioned

My boy lived in London for 18 months from 2015. Absolutely loved it except for the weather. Diabolical.
I'm arriving in Southampton tomorrow, it's going to be 13 degrees. Brrrrrrrrr
Southampton? Did you make a transatlantic crossing by ship?
Ironic. You being an aeroplane nut.
don't you guys have an Aussie forum on here to go to ?
Even if we did it wouldn't apply in this situation because Joel is nearly in Southampton.
It has been the most miserable Summer that I can remember and there is no signs of things getting better. There is a lovely lido near me which I would always spend several days at in July and August in the past, this year I've been once. Roll on September when I'll be in Spain for a few weeks sinking a few cold ones on the beach.
2012 , Slippy - that will beat every summer between here and the next century for miserableness lol
I like this weather. Immense grey clouds, not too hot. Lovely.

Is that how you want a Summer?

Why are Australians generally so antagonistic lol ? One in the pub Saturday trying to get peoples feathers ruffled .
I've got a Merc - why are you so happy with your VW Golf ,it's not as good ?
If Lybertine likes cloudy cool conditions so be it ? a lot of folk like freezing cold winters ,some like hot ,sunny .
I prefer coolish 23c summers myself with a 50/50 cloud /sun mix.

I wonder why the weather doesn't put the economic immigrants off?
While this is cooler than normal, I would much rather be here than in 40 degree heat in southern Europe. Like Coachbuster, my ideal would be low twenties and some cloud cover.
I like it much hotter than that Foinavon, 32C-35C during the day would be perfect for me, as long as I'm near a beach for a swim having said that.
I don't think Joel said anything particularly antagonistic. I'll have a word with him. Tell him to pull his head in.
