I must admit I do get fed up of people basically say "the current weather is not to my taste therefore it is boring". I was under the impression that I had joined a weather forum, not a cold/mild/ hot/ thundery ( delete as appropiate ) weather forum. I must be a little strange as I do find our UK weather interesting, broadly speaking. This month has seen unusually mild weather, the remains of Gonzalo, to name but 2 events this month. Then again, when people are only interested in their own back yard - as it were - it easy to lose sight that weather does actually take place in other parts of the country 

A final thought, some lament last winter as "boring" well here in Workington on four occasions I recorded pressure under 960mb in  a matter of weeks - hardly boring.

Now that I have ranted, I feel better already. 

I`m definately in the "It`s not boring"camp. I actually like this sort of weather, and long may it continue!

Can see "Three Shades Of Grey" out there...  

I think its mind numbingly boring.

Today's weather has been thoroughly boring. Probably my least favourite type (dull all day which makes it darker indoors at this time of year, dry & mild).......... at least when the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo moved through it was an interesting spell of weather. With thousands of golden leaves and branches strewn on the lane. Anything is better than this mind numbingly pathetic spell of weather we are enduring today. The only saving grace is energy costs but even then we have to put the lights on earlier now because of the pathetic clock change! Absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully this tedious spell of weather will come to an end soon. 

At least it's mild. Nothing worse than slate grey, dry and cold. Thoroughly miserable wrapped up in layers of clothes, with a runny nose. I have a t-shirt on today 

The breeze is getting rid of the helicopter Sycamore seeds which are a ruddy nuisance...

What a boring thread this is! Reminds me of that Robot in "Hitchhikers Guilde To The Galaxy"

No not boring weather at all, in fact it's a better October than most.

Now If you want to know what boring weather is I'll take the day after day of very damp dull weather

with the icing on the top to make it really really really boring the dreaded DRIZZLE! Eeek!

Now believe me! That's true boring weather. So much so it has drove people to travel to Australia and complain about the sunshie and heat!

And beside's wait long enough and you boring lot may regret what you wished for

Flipping Bored now! Only joshing hehe!

Yep! Been a while since put layers on!

Was it not last winter when we had a bomb that change the pattern in the UK with storm after storm driven by I can't remember what it was called, but a system on the east side of the states? a the US had a very bad cold winter?

Yes the "Polar Vortex" that people kept harping on about was parked in Central/SE Canada/NE USA & seemed to rev up the jet stream and gave us those deep pressure systems time & time again.

Well I hope we don't get a Winter like last Winter.. that was depressing - like I said in the Winter 2014-15 thread I might move to somewhere where you can guarantee snow & cold all Winter if we get a repeat performance lol

We just don't know do we? Anything could happen! Our climate changes so much that every year is different.

I'd put a bet that someway through to end of November the pattern flips not northerly but from the East. We haven't had that old Siberian express for sometime...

Whether or not you consider the weather boring, depends on your circumstances and probably your age and past experiences.  Calm, benign weather causes less disruption to normal life and costs less in heating bills, though I expect as we're all on a weather forum, we'd each have a preference to some kind of exciting weather. 

If we didn't have benign, unexciting weather, we wouldn't get so excited when things do hot up (or cool down, get rough, freeze over etc)!  For me, the excitement is greater when it's more rare, unexpected, or short lived.

I think it just needs 1991 severely heaped tablespoons of cheese 

True, if the weather was wall-to-wall severe thunderstorms, blizzards, hurricanes etc.  many on here would have succumbed of nervous exhaustion long ago!  We need a period unremarkable weather to give us the stamina to deal with the winter roller-coaster with its model flip-flops, near misses, imbyism etc. that will be upon us before long....

It's quiet so that is good....

People who wish for severe weather because they are "bored" should be careful what they wish for.

16*c expected here today with clear sunny spells, almost November...now thats not boring at all #tshirtweather #shadesof2009/10

Far from boring, 106mm of rain in 24 hrs, temperatures close on 20c late in October all on a small Island - pretty interesting to me

Becareful what you wish for as NO effect on the weather whatsoever!
