This is turning into yet another appalling summer. Sick to death of relentless grey skies and poor weekend weather. Two weeks now since the last really good day with only a few passable efforts since then.
Today it is sunny but the wind is so strong, it's uncomfortable to be outside. Dreadful for the time of year.
Middle third of June really was disgusting. Bad even by the rock bottom standards of the past 11 years with sunshine hours barely any better than 2012.
It’s just shocking that there has not been a single occasion in over a decade that the weather has been any good at this time of year.
More rubbish likely over the weekend too. High pressure over us but apparently all we will see is more of the June permacast gunk that accompanies every single synoptic set-up this time of year.

Looks like we are being made to pay big time for the run of good Saturdays in May even though that barely began to make amends for all the rotten runs there’s been in recent years.
Last June was actually better because at least the good days fell at the weekends whereas this month is a nightmare with significantly worse weekend than weekday weather, something which has been a staple of the post 2006 era.
What’s the betting that if we do see a good spell of weather next week it will be over by the weekend? Four crap Saturdays in a row really would put this summer on a par with 2007/2012. Beyond depressing
HA!! HA!! HA!!
You know, you've just got to take your hats off to Richard. I had already noticed that he had made a similar complaint about today's weather on the current conditions thread and was going to reply there, until I then noticed this one.
One thing that Richard is very good at is being able to find something about the weather in his area which he isn't happy with, almost regardless of what the actual weather is like and he has certainly showed his true form with this one tonight.
That's why I say, hats off to him but personally, I'm just happy that we're actually getting some sunshine for a change after having to put up with the annual June permacast for so long. It isn't likely to be the sunniest day of the year in the end, but it is the sunniest day which we have had for over a couple of weeks and will be no worse than the second sunniest day of the summer so far as a result. Given what we have been having to put up with recently, that is more than enough for me just now even with that vile wind which he has mentioned.
EDIT:
I can now confirm that today will now go down as the sunniest day of the summer so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank which has now given me something to be happy about. For that reason, I can officially put this one as a gloat rather than a moan which as I mentioned in the sub-heading for this thread, anyone is perfectly free to do here.
