....and yet another cold grey day with drizzle, 11 C 🤢 I've had it with UK weather, I really have!
I'm going to have to do something about this or you'll have another Richard on your hands!
I'd love to spend Jan, Feb & March in The Algarve (Alvor) and July, Aug & Sept in the south of France or NW Italy
Thanks to Brexit thats my Max allowed but I'm seriously thinking of it for 2025.....anybody else have these dreams? 😎

In addition to that, the rain just keeps on refusing to fall here in any great amounts. Any "drizzle" which is around is very difficult to spot and everything is as bone dry here as it normally is here now.
Taking all of that into account and given that every other UK based member of this forum is reporting much higher rainfall totals than what we're getting here in Edinburgh, I'm struggling to see why you have so much to complain about given that there are a lot of members on here who would love to be able to trade their much higher rainfall totals with our weather here in Edinburgh but then, that is only my view and everyone is entitled to their own opinion on that which I fully accept, may well be different from mines.
It is true as well that the temperatures haven't been great but on most days, the temperatures are still turning out close to average on most days and usually higher than expected (sometimes, those have even been amongst the highest temperatures in the whole of the UK including SE England).
My only complaint is the lack of sunshine and as I write, our high "summer" permacast hell goes on with yet more dull and overcast skies. Given that absolutely nothing else is happening here which is even remotely interesting, that just makes our weather as boring and uninteresting as typical Edinburgh weather generally is and on most days, I only need to copy and paste a previous report from most other recent days in order to give an accurate account of the current weather.
Meanwhile, the temperature here in Edinburgh is currently around 12°C.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
