Miserable Pissy Rain was AMAZING EXCITING RAIN when I was down in Cornwall, because it's so clean and energising and beautiful and makes the WAVES! SMASH! in exciting ways.
But by the time it gets to London, it's just grim.
Apparently I missed a Force 9 Gale last night - gutted - but everyone said I was lucky to get out before trees started coming down and things.

Yeah, I'm not knocking rain..just the continuous miserable pissy kind. I've had some great walks just after storms, when it's still raining, but the sun's back out and everything is sparkling, almost psychedelically, and the greenery and trees feels more alive.
But this is a kind of cold, miserly depresso rain with dull skies.

Apparently the Cornish word for this weather is actually "mizzle"

Fucking slashing it down in Manchester, and has been all day. Made a trip to the recycling centre with a carload of old skirting boards and bags of hardened plaster/rubble a real treat, I can tell you.

Er, Bob, do you work for the Daily Mail? We were in a drought until it starting raining lots. Funny that.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 22 December 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
We were in a potential water collection and distribution problem.
Achieving a 'drought' in the water-logged British Isles is basically a plea for incompetency and long-term under-investment by the water infrastructure bodies.

Jesus Christ will this ever end? I can't remember a time when it wasn't raining. Got to go further south west tomorrow...

I think you answered my question Bob. But you are right it's not a "drought" by other countries definitions.
My solution? Just use less water. I can't believe how wasteful some people, and by extension I’m sure Industry, can be.

yeah in london there has been only one day this winter that didn't reach 5c by my recollection
so long as you didn't have a tree fall on your house/car and you don't live right next to a river it's not been a bad winter

It's been bloody cold out here in the sticks. Only a few days with actual ice, but the combo of wind and rain has been very unpleasant.

Depends what you're looking for really. As a cyclist, I could really do without the endless rain and gale force winds. I'd happily take temperatures 3 degrees lower if it meant blue skies and no wind.

swings and roundabouts huh
admittedly im not into outdoorsy type shit but there hasnt been a total lack of sunlight, in between the rainshowers
its not been constant rain, just that when it has rained it has rained really fucking heavily

April 2012-April 2013 was the most miserable year's worth of weather imaginable. The last couple of months or so have been pretty shit (obviously worse down in the south-west), but I haven't given up hope that it's going to get better. One day.

the climate change predictions for northwest europe dont seem that consistent, some suggesting cooler some suggesting that it will just be like taking 5 degrees of latitude away so we get warmish weather while spain turns into algeria
