david mcgee Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Is this Summer? Absolutely pants, wishing down again! Two bleedin years of guffy weather, how depressing is it? Winters just around the corner and my speedos are still in the drawer. I think i will lie in the mud in the back garden with my shades on and use my imagination.

Can only sympathise, we suffered two days rain last weekend, and I am forced to go and play golf today in a cool 28C. I hate having to wear pullovers at this time of the year. Summer has been really poor, only got up to 38C a couple of times had to settle for mid to high thirties most of the time. Knew I should never have moved here for the weather.

Sharpie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 nothing like rubbing it in, in a sort of smug smarty pants way eh. After what Edinburgh weather done to me on my short sojourn a year ago June, I felt I owed Edinburgh something. It was the first time I had ever seen the South Bridge flowing water like a river.

I'm in Boston and it feels like it's rained every day for a month. Really crappy weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Get used to it, I think. If we accept that melting Arctic ice is resulting in colder water spreading south, the warming effects of the Gulf Stream on the west coast of Scotland will diminish, leaving us more open to the ravages of Atlantic Ocean weather. Wet and windy 'summers' from now on then. Sods law that global warming would result in Scotland getting colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommythejambo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Went to Kavos for 2 weeks this summer and was glad to see the rain when I got back. Waking up to tempratures in the mid-thirties every day, drowning in your own sweat can get annoying. Thank god for our p***y climate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I go down the local track most weekends for the simulcast horse racing. Now, it's from all over N.A., New York State, Florida, Woodbine in Tarrana etc., and it seems like it's bucketin' doon almost everywhere these days. Then again, maybe it's only raining in my heart.

Carl Spackler Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 My prediction is that next month will be alot better. I'm sure it's been like this the past few years with the better weather being either side of "summer". I don't remember unrelenting rain like this before though. Is there any chance the Gregorian Calendar is simply wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
