A good point and it's usually me 😂 But it does reflect the major climate change here in southern East Anglia. We don't get changeable any more. We get long blocks of the same weather. So we havehad10 weeks of dull wet weather. Before long we will get a 10 week dry spell. e don't get a mixture in the space of two weeks any more. The UK having very changeable weather is a myth these days.

R5L had a snippet this morning on how well Californian Redwoods/Giant Sequoia are doing in the UK. They've only been here for up to 130 years, so still toddlers in Sequoia terms (generally live up to 3,000 years!).

The presenter suggested that the dry conditions in the SE - increasingly amplified by climate change - would be ideal for them, but no. The trees at Benmore Botanical Gardens in Scotland grow faster and better than their counterparts at Havering in the SE.

Astonishingly, there's an estimated 500,000 sequoias in the UK - more than 6 times more than in their native Sierra Nevada mountains (where they're endangered with only 80,000 trees remaining)

My fear is this Autumn set up will be forever all year around and it seems happening now. Today again strong winds and cloud so same repeating all the time.  UK climate is on the verge to lose 3 seasons out as it not adhere at all with Autumn all year round.  We passed last Spring, Summer and this winter being void completely.

However, while the trees are doing well in the UK, there's little chance of them taking over our native forests any time soon - they're not reproducing here as they need very specific conditions to take seed.
It wouldn't have taken much to say that the right conditions for reproduction include regular low heat fires, not the occasional monster fire. But you can propagate them from cuttings. A good read.

This has been a very poor week for weather here. Mild yes, but it's been grey and wet and I really don't think I've seen the Sun at all. I'm off work not next week, but the week after so hopefully the long awaited HP the models have been hinting at will materialise for then...

👍 Absolutly! The weather has been pants since early July last year,incesant rain and here we are looking at 9 straight months of significantly above average rainfall.The only full dry week was the first week of September during the heatwave. I for one am sick of it,we desperatly need at least 2 straight weeks with no more rain.

Just gandering through the rainfall anomalies for the past 12 months and, for E&W, it reads (very generally, and there'll be localised differences):

Mar 23 - very wet Midlands southwards; wet north of that

Apr 23 - wet far SE/EA; average elsewhere

May 23 - dry NW of Humber-Bristol Channel & far SE; average in between

Jun 23 - dry SE/S/SW/S Wales; average elsewhere

Jul 23 - wet SE; very wet elsewhere

Aug 23 - average almost everywhere 

Sep 23 - wet Lakes/W Wales/E Yorks/Lincs; dry SE; average elsewhere

Oct 23 - very wet Midlands/Yorks/EA/NE/far S; average NW & W Wales; wet elsewhere

Nov 23 - wet far SE; average elsewhere

Dec 23 - very wet E Mids/Yorks/NE; average far SE; wet elsewhere

Jan 24 - average more or less everywhere 

Feb 24 - average NE/far NW/N Wales; wet southern NW/W&S Yorks/mid-Wales; very wet elsewhere

The very wet months have been pretty shared around!

MBY has had:

Very Dry - 0
Dry - 1
Average - 7
Wet - 3
Very Wet - 1

Here in Edinburgh, rainfall hasn't actually been as massive an issue recently as it has been elsewhere, and also hasn't been as big an issue here as a lot of the local people here would think, as the data which I have reported on other threads on here has shown (Jerry from the south of Edinburgh recently reported on here that Edinburgh people were fed with the fairly cold and wet weather in these parts).

The rainfall which we're getting at the moment isn't coming with any great conviction and once again, we're struggling to get a wetter than average month as we usually always do in these parts these days (we're almost there for this month, but we're really struggling to get over that finishing line at the moment).

What is a much bigger issue for here is the real lack of sunshine in these parts in recent months.

We are two thirds of the way through this month now and yet we've only had not much more than a third of our 1991-2020 March average sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank during this month so far.

We could therefore really do with seeing some sunshine in these parts, but the latest model output looking ahead towards the rest of this month isn't looking particularly sunny at the moment.😡

There are not many countries in the world where 1020 MB pressure can still give persistent overcast skies with rain at times.  Unfortunately the UK is one of them.

This means that although most people on here are clearly anxious to see a build of high pressure, that isn't going to do us any good whatsoever if we don't also get some decent weather along with that.

Next week looking completely crap, which has timed perfectly for my week off work... lucky me.

I really do detest cold in spring, especially the kind of weather that next week is looking like bringing. Cold, cloudy, wet and windy... yuck, what a disgusting combination. You can forgive it if it's cold, calm and bright (April 2021) or if there is at least some wintry potential, but there looks to be very little of either of those things. All in all, just useless.

One of the most hideously vile, tediously unvaried and unappealing months of all time. Absolutely nothing decent on offer. Barely any sun, no convection, hardly any warmth, a couple of frosts and no snow. Just perpetual grey skies with repulsively chilly days and disgusting mild nights. Yet again conditions worse than a bad November 🤮

Makes last March seem brilliant by comparison. I spent the end of that revolting month in London and the weather was so foul it beggared belief. Should be a long long time before anything as repellent as that would disgrace the final third of the month but I am off there again tomorrow and not only does it look every bit as rank as last year but if anything even worse. It would seem 6am on Saturday is the only time there will be any sun 🤬

The bare minimum you could expect was a couple of reasonable days in a week. Now it's just week after week of relentless cloud and rain. The UK climate truly has been relegated into the lowest tier of utter garbage alongside bleak sparsely populated outposts like the Faeroes, Falklands and Aleutians. A poisonous dump of a country unfit for human habitation 🤢

Having the conservatory built next month not  for fun but to use for drying my washing clothes so no more outside due to aggressive daily rain and warmth for the house as summers getting colder and wet.  For sure France and rest of EU will continue warm to hot with lot of sunshine.

To be honest though, from your often posted messages, I think most of us have come to terms with this years or decades ago, it's probably on you to catch up in reality... summers are obviously not becoming colder, quite the reverse, however as they do they may well get wetter in the same way that most of the Med has more rainfall than the UK, it's just more concentrated.

Can't believe how high the temperatures are in the SE quarter of England again.

Another very depressing day up here. Drizzle all day and 7 C. We've had one or two brighter days such as Sunday and we reached 14 C but a one off!

 am standing my views about the climate getting much worst with non-stop Autumnal rain, cloud and winds and no sign of tend of it on 1st month of suppposely Spring month.

Once again explain fully about your strange posts. thank you.

The suggestion is that many people who wish to dry their clothes inside buy a tumble dryer for that purpose whereas you seem to be buying a slightly more expensive option, a conservatory.

Yes there lot of uses on those apart from drying clothes, will use for sitting there, sorting Lego parts that need bright area that i sell online and some flower plants on pots to grow on the window sills,, the seeds I borught from Cyprus cannot be grown outside to grow inside.  

Last time i rent a house with it and it dry the clothes super fast in 30mins if sunny or 1 hour or so if cloudy so no needo to put outside ever again, with the ongoing rain attack every day I won't worry anymore.

Thankfully no rain here today so just put the washing outside, phew...

And Jiries is to some extent right, the conservatory dries clothes quite well, provided of course that the sun comes out which doesn't often seem to happen in Jiriesland. I use my tumble drier only if I need something dried in under a few hours, so perhaps once a month.
