miserable pissy rain

Yes, I'm a bitch. I don't care.

does this shit intend on stopping any time soon

ha i just finished watching the weather forecast

no, by the looks of things, although the current mid-atlantic squall over london should be the nadir

i really enjoyed the most miserably intense bit of it earlier because i was in bed with my laptop warming me watching leveson and with no need to leave the house, but even from this cosy perspective the sheer unstopping relentlessness of it becomes depressing

yeah sturm und drang is always best appreciated from indoors

from tomorrow it's back to the last fortnight's enervating Miserable Pissy Rain

I hated the most miserably intense bit because I was out walking in it.

I got stuck in a spring rain at lunch, with blocks to go. My hair is well and truly fucked for the rest of the day, I think.

misread the thread title

"Scissorable Missy Rain"?

how'd you guess?

I only want to see you dancing
in the miserable pissy rain.
Pissy rain,
pissy rain...
Pissy rain,
pissy rain...

lol

no-one made the obvious (esp re Prince) joke about "pussy rain" i see

Pussy comes in waterfalls. We all know this.

When we first moved in here - in fact the day Neil Young was on TV playing in Hyde Park - we had the most fucking awful downpour that caused the trough on top of the bay window to fill with water and pour into the living room. We spent the evening with towels and buckets trying to mop up the stuff before it got in the electrics. We've had it fixed since obv. but every time it's rained since I've been really terribly anxious. This week hasn't been great.

We nearly went to that NY gig - after seeing Springsteen bring the place down the night before. If we had, we've come back to the worst mess I can imagine. I'm even still anxious about Neil Young's music.

Fucking April. Though. That was August. Fucking rain.

i'm meant to go out now and the rain has stopped but i am looking beseechingly at my bed, pleading with it to FORCE me into it

Anyone else think they might go postal simply due to the sheer relentlessness of the weather?

Had to bin my London Olympics umbrella (£14 from M&S), which is coming apart from constant use in the last few weeks.

unless met office is fucking with me - no rain here until friday. It's actually sunny rn and not even me hanging up two loads of washing outside could make it rain. Thursday is looking very promising. I'm such a sad twat these days when a few days of sunshine arrives it's all about how much laundry will done - yippee.

days are divided into “great days for ducks” and “great drying days”

It's 44 degrees in Spain

22˚C and miserable pissy rain at 1 p.m. in August in Mississippi is a wonderful thing. It actually felt good to take a hot shower this morning.

Hmph. After, what - four weeks? five weeks? - of zero sun, I've temporarily swapped England for Ireland, where it's just the same, but colder. Means I will miss the brief respite this week.

I can remember one year going to a rain sodden Newquay that practically never stopped raining only to see reports of a northern mini-heatwave from a caravan where rain patting against the fibreglass is louder than seagulls and then returning back to miserable pissy rain in the north, where normal service had been resumed.

This particular intense but relatively narrow band of rain we had today seems to stretch from Trondheim all the way out to the Azores. I just think that's neat.

Comforting to know it'd still be raining if I'd stayed home all those years ago I guess.

Current pattern of nice crisp sunny mornings followed by rainy days could be worse.

Miserable torrential rain.

I waited under a shop awning for 20 minutes during that.

The weather gods are timing the deluges to coincide with cycle commute home each day. Bastards.

Proper miserable pissy rain here in Minnesota today, making me pine for the old homeland. It'll probably turn into a prairie thunderstorm later mind which you don't really get in the UK, at least not the bits I ever lived in.

No rain is more miserable and pissier than West of Scotland rain imo.

nothing pissy about today - unless you mean the firehose piss of a pintman 8 pints deep

Had a power cut to go along with the miserable pissy west of Scotland rain this morning.

the road round the corner from me is flooded so badly that a double-decker bus is stuck in it. I'm banking on an Iceland delivery coming today so I don't need to leave the house.

Going for a run in the miserable pissy west of Scotland rain shortly. The pleasure of getting home afterwards should be good.

Glad I visited last weekend lol

If the rain had held off for literally five more minutes I would have got home without getting soaked.

this shit is not normal:

A dogwalker in Mugdock, Stirlingshire has shared clips of the forest floor “moving like the sea” as #StormBabet continues to batter Scotland.

!!!!

scared for that dog!

Maybe not the best time to go for walkies.

I was worried for the dog too. Would not have let him get that close my god.

That dog grew up to be the this is fine dog

7th rainy weekend in a row?

f this sh*t

Realized today I'm not going to see the sun in this country for like 6 months now.

depressing af

Heard about this from some other friends

Is anyone else with Freeview only experiencing service loss - scrambled and/or missing channels?

Where I am that's not uncommon when it rains - and it doesn't even have to be particularly heavy rain.

By the way and ffs, learn how to pronounce Brechin why don't you, Sky reporters... and she's actually reporting from Brechin!

Curious. Worst/scariest flooding I've ever driven through yesterday, on the Essex/Suffolk border, in a kind of "I wouldn't normally drive through that puddle but I'm not really sure what else I can do" sort of way. Eventually, stopped trying to get anywhere in particular beyond zig-zagging to *anywhere* that might be less wet.

i am back on my bullshit viz reading "flooded shropshire" stories on the shropshire star twitter account (the only good account):

e.g. "two kayakers were spotted paddling across a country road" near craven arms 🌊🛶👍🏽

Link?

Clearly the government have hidden all the nanobot vaccines in huge under-forest caches

numb to it

hello from Oregon

our nephew moved in last month, he's been in Oregon since August. Today he asked the classic "how long does it rain for, anyway" - he was not expecting the answer to be "until May", lol

lol

I used to go to the Gambia a fair bit and there the conversation was the opposite: you ask when it's going to rain and someone looks up and says, 'eh, April'.

Absolutely shat it down here last night. The rivers are swole af.

big one on the way to Northern California

But it can't just be heavy rain anymore, everything has to be an 'atmospheric river'

it’s wild out there

a tornado warning in Scotland, never thought I would see the day

I left the landing window open, the roller blind was flapping like crazy and there were some leaves on my stairs. Quite fair to call this fucker as a named storm system, but it doesn't sound like 90 mph wind here, yet.

A “tornado watch” zone was issued for Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland and northern England by the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (Torro) on Sunday afternoon. That means a “strong tornado” is possible in those regions.

see how it goes time

Impatiently waiting for Spring to start in London, delayed by a classic pissy rain Sunday with no hint of sun.

just walked about 5 miles in various levels of pissy rain, all of it miserable.

I've just come back from a two mile walk in the rain and of course now it's stopped and there's a hint of sun.
