The Weather

Homebird

Is anyone else finding the weather depressing at the moment? I am trying hard to walk each day to help my mental health, even in the rain, although not always so good. It has now got to the stage that all my walks on footpaths in tree areas have flooded so much the puddles are too deep and it looks like at least two weeks more. 

I am not in the worst part of the country, so I can't imagine how difficult it is in some areas.

  • As an American, I imagine every day in the UK is just dreary weather. Here in the Midwest it’s unpredictable and often windy (because we’re mostly flat and close to the Great Lakes).

    As a set of islands we get very changeable weather especially near the coast where I live.

    Recently we had sunshine and hailstones at the same time.

    It's also become more extreme.

    The summer here in the south of England was hot and dry and drought was declared.

    However we have been deluged with rain this winter so heavy it feels like monsoons.

    By-the-way I always enjoy your contributions here.

    In my mind you represent the best of American people.

    Wow, that does sound really unpredictable lol. That’s about as opposite as you can get!

    Yeah, it feels like extremes have gotten worse around here. I don’t know if it’s just I’m more aware nowadays, but I feel as though summers are hotter and winters are colder than they were when I was a kid.
