Now it seem it will be forever wind, cloudy and rain all year around.  When this will end and give a change to settled over due dry spell.   After all the rain yesterday today very cloudy and very yellowish polluted clouds because no clear air had arrive at all for long time now.  Poor sun tring to come out but nasty aggressive cloud won;t bulge at all.

The presenter suggested that the dry conditions in the SE - increasingly amplified by climate change - would be ideal for them, but no. The trees at Benmore Botanical Gardens in Scotland grow faster and better than their counterparts at Havering in the SE.

Astonishingly, there's an estimated 500,000 sequoias in the UK - more than 6 times more than in their native Sierra Nevada mountains (where they're endangered with only 80,000 trees remaining)

If there's any consolation, I suppose that if the weather is going to be rubbish, it is at least much better if we get the worst of that out of the way just now rather than us having to be enduring that during the summer (that is, assume that you would like see a decent summer as most of us would of course).

My fear is this Autumn set up will be forever all year around and it seems happening now. Today again strong winds and cloud so same repeating all the time.  UK climate is on the verge to lose 3 seasons out as it not adhere at all with Autumn all year round.  We passed last Spring, Summer and this winter being void completely.

I hadn't realised there are so many in the UK until I read this story.

However, while the trees are doing well in the UK, there's little chance of them taking over our native forests any time soon - they're not reproducing here as they need very specific conditions to take seed.

It wouldn't have taken much to say that the right conditions for reproduction include regular low heat fires, not the occasional monster fire. But you can propagate them from cuttings. A good read.

Fixed for accuracy 

👍 Absolutly! The weather has been pants since early July last year,incesant rain and here we are looking at 9 straight months of significantly above average rainfall.The only full dry week was the first week of September during the heatwave. I for one am sick of it,we desperatly need at least 2 straight weeks with no more rain.

Plus cloud free extremely well over due and need to see that again not seen that long enough since spring 2020 and April 2021.  Autumn day continue today as clouds rush in for no reason.

Mar 23 - very wet Midlands southwards; wet north of that

Apr 23 - wet far SE/EA; average elsewhere

May 23 - dry NW of Humber-Bristol Channel & far SE; average in between

Jun 23 - dry SE/S/SW/S Wales; average elsewhere

Jul 23 - wet SE; very wet elsewhere

Aug 23 - average almost everywhere 

Sep 23 - wet Lakes/W Wales/E Yorks/Lincs; dry SE; average elsewhere

Oct 23 - very wet Midlands/Yorks/EA/NE/far S; average NW & W Wales; wet elsewhere

Nov 23 - wet far SE; average elsewhere

Dec 23 - very wet E Mids/Yorks/NE; average far SE; wet elsewhere

Jan 24 - average more or less everywhere 

Feb 24 - average NE/far NW/N Wales; wet southern NW/W&S Yorks/mid-Wales; very wet elsewhere

The very wet months have been pretty shared around!

MBY has had:

Very Dry - 0

Average - 7

Wet - 3

Very Wet - 1

The rainfall which we're getting at the moment isn't coming with any great conviction and once again, we're struggling to get a wetter than average month as we usually always do in these parts these days (we're almost there for this month, but we're really struggling to get over that finishing line at the moment).

What is a much bigger issue for here is the real lack of sunshine in these parts in recent months.

We are two thirds of the way through this month now and yet we've only had not much more than a third of our 1991-2020 March average sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank during this month so far.

We could therefore really do with seeing some sunshine in these parts, but the latest model output looking ahead towards the rest of this month isn't looking particularly sunny at the moment.😡

I can even remember that happening here not all that long ago with an air pressure of just over 1040mb, so it seems though there is always at least an outside chance of cloud and rain regardless of what the air pressure actually is.

This means that although most people on here are clearly anxious to see a build of high pressure, that isn't going to do us any good whatsoever if we don't also get some decent weather along with that.

I really do detest cold in spring, especially the kind of weather that next week is looking like bringing. Cold, cloudy, wet and windy... yuck, what a disgusting combination. You can forgive it if it's cold, calm and bright (April 2021) or if there is at least some wintry potential, but there looks to be very little of either of those things. All in all, just useless.

Makes last March seem brilliant by comparison. I spent the end of that revolting month in London and the weather was so foul it beggared belief. Should be a long long time before anything as repellent as that would disgrace the final third of the month but I am off there again tomorrow and not only does it look every bit as rank as last year but if anything even worse. It would seem 6am on Saturday is the only time there will be any sun 🤬

The bare minimum you could expect was a couple of reasonable days in a week. Now it's just week after week of relentless cloud and rain. The UK climate truly has been relegated into the lowest tier of utter garbage alongside bleak sparsely populated outposts like the Faeroes, Falklands and Aleutians. A poisonous dump of a country unfit for human habitation 🤢

We need to come to terms that UK climate had gone worst and lost 3 seasons for good now. Autumn all year around are going to be like that for good and  need to survive this nasty climate change. Having the conservatory built next month not  for fun but to use for drying my washing clothes so no more outside due to aggressive daily rain and warmth for the house as summers getting colder and wet.  For sure France and rest of EU will continue warm to hot with lot of sunshine.

Jeez that's an expensive tumble dryer, whatever floats your boat Jiries

To be honest though, from your often posted messages, I think most of us have come to terms with this years or decades ago, it's probably on you to catch up in reality... summers are obviously not becoming colder, quite the reverse, however as they do they may well get wetter in the same way that most of the Med has more rainfall than the UK, it's just more concentrated.

Another very depressing day up here. Drizzle all day and 7 C. We've had one or two brighter days such as Sunday and we reached 14 C but a one off!

18.8 at Charlwood, Surrey - and it was a very pleasant Spring day for a walk here

Can you explain where you get tumble drier idea as I not mentioned buy one or never had one?  Explain in details about your strange  posts and you don't post in other threads and reply other people posts?  Ex;plain why you only reply my posts if you don't like it? 

 am standing my views about the climate getting much worst with non-stop Autumnal rain, cloud and winds and no sign of tend of it on 1st month of suppposely Spring month.

Once again explain fully about your strange posts. thank you.

He need to fully explain about why he doesn't post others reply but only mine and if he have a problem that he should tell us in here in public. 

Yes there lot of uses on those apart from drying clothes, will use for sitting there, sorting Lego parts that need bright area that i sell online and some flower plants on pots to grow on the window sills,, the seeds I borught from Cyprus cannot be grown outside to grow inside.  

Last time i rent a house with it and it dry the clothes super fast in 30mins if sunny or 1 hour or so if cloudy so no needo to put outside ever again, with the ongoing rain attack every day I won't worry anymore.

Blimey, nerve touched whoops, I haven't replied to one of your posts for well over a year that I can remember so not sure how you come to that deduction, and yes doctormog had it exactly correct, I was making a joke that you could just buy a tumble drier, it would have been a lot cheaper than building a conservatory but each to their own. Thankfully no rain here today so just put the washing outside, phew...

Just to confuse the issue, my tumble dryer is inside the conservatory so it warms that up! Too heavy to lift upstairs, not enough room downstairs in this terrace house.

And Jiries is to some extent right, the conservatory dries clothes quite well, provided of course that the sun comes out which doesn't often seem to happen in Jiriesland. I use my tumble drier only if I need something dried in under a few hours, so perhaps once a month.
