Some anthropologists reckon there are a few different words for miserable pissy rain in Doncaster.

Oh right, I thought we were the only people getting this while everybody else got a heatwave.Well, keeps the country green I guess. & what would the alternative be?Galway wouldn't look as nice as a desert.
A couple of months back I looked out of the window to see some weird mist like thing happening outside which I couldn't see the reason for. Found out that a couple of weeks without rain had lead to gorse fires out in Connemara direction. Was far more noticeable in town apparently, I just got this weird mist/fog thing.So better not to have that repeating i guess.

today manchester has been overcast, with occasional light spitting rain, and pleasantly cool. I could go for a bit of mist though

I love the rain and moderate temperatures. There was a wave of violent assaults here during the hot spell and there always is, because people go fucking mental in the heat. One of the violent assaults occurred on one of my dog-walking routes and the perp's description was a dead-ringer for me (well 90% of violent crime is probably done by old white baldy males) and he had his dog with him as well. I'm just just glad it was a Spaniel and not a Black Labrador, lest I end up like Peter Fonda in The Wrong Bald Bastard.

It's true that Britain and Ireland are very green, I like this.

I think it is the hilly/mountainous terrain of places like The North and southern Eire that I like, as well as the rain. I was having this conversation with my bro coming back from London t'other week. Places that are flat as a pancake in the UK don't quite feel like home when you are a hillbilly.

And I can't even really blame Britain for it since it's raining in almost all the other places I've lived.

I made the mistake of wading through a field of very long grass the other day, might as well have gone swimming with my clothes on.

Total shit and worse in London thanks to the brain genius who thought putting glass squares in pavement in a city as wet as London was a great idea. (Yes I am aware these were for under street lighting or w/e, don’t @ me when they make a good slice of pavement unusable in wet weather)

I picked this week to take some of my annual leave - no particular occasion, just needed a bit of time off before the three months of chaos and stress aka harvest; was just gonna bum around outside cafés reading - and it hasn’t stopped shitting it down for a minute the whole time

Wailing against a rainy backdrop both strengthens and weakens my goth credentials but I have to say I prefer the cool dampness of a mausoleum to the sensation of drowning on terra firma.
― pomenitul, Friday, 14 June 2019 11:10 (four years ago) link
I've never been to Bruges but during my visit to Brussels I fully understood why the Walloons and Normans have a special word for heavy rain: 'la drache' (pronounced 'drash').

rain is good not bad, also it is sunny now, london pavements are some slippy shit whatever they're made of (apparently* it's the piss)

Anyone who knows their Wimbledon forthnight knows this is fairly normal fare.
I think the light has been a touch worse and it has been a touch colder than usual.

The last two Junes have been incredible weather-wise so they've lulled us into a false sense of security. It's usually pissing it down.

where "incredible" means hot and horrible, keep that nasty stuff out of my lovely month

It’s always humid as fuck here when it’s hot though and it’s disgusting

I'm probably getting mixed up with what happened in the permian "best summer ever" period there, but shutdown of thermohaline circulation probably would cause areas of anoxic death in the atlantic, but maybe not that bad.

at least wins would get a good long break from these pesky harvests as well!

Hovering between -15 and -30 for months on end teaches you to embrace the jungle. 30+ becomes desirable even when it's humid out.

after spending the morning imagining my cat bedraggled and forlorn or worse I cycled home at lunch to find her meowing up a ruckus outside. she then did this celebration wriggle
