What a shitload of crap this place is this time of the year: * Daylight removes itself five minutes per frigging day. * Temps in the low 10's merely 30-35 days after a sea-bathable summer month. * Don't even notice the lower sun angle because haven't seen the thing for days. * No hope of 20C temps until late April which is like what: 8.5 months away? Even more? 'Kin hell. * Allergies still going strong, making me feel like I've been hit by a door or something. * Only three weeks until fucking Standard Time, with DST being the invention from heaven, Standard Time at 58N is like the devil's comeback. Add perpetural clouds to it and you need the lights on at 3 pm on Nov 25. GAAAAAH....

The grass is already muddy because of the rain we've had the past few weeks, and apart from a few frosty mornings (plus afternoons if we're lucky) it will most likely stay that way for another six months In wet winters our walking paths can look like this!

However, nowadays all of those 8,5 months are 5°C and mud with zero sunshine which is getting difficult to take year after year.

I'd take it if it actually was 5C all January and February instead of 2/0 all the time That's what I really hate. Either -1/-4 or 6/0 for me.

It's fucking October and I don't see lows below 75 F (24 C). This useless piece of shit climate sometimes even fails at producing the one thing that's interesting in this climate - thunderstorms. Fuck this climate.

Some heavy rain once in a while? Not this drizzly shit which amounts to 20mm in 13 days, how pathetic.
Also some stable hot summers would be nice, our winters are stable as hell so why can't our summers be?

Man I wish this thread came along when I was living in Melbourne. C'mon jg, lets see some rage for spring 2016 and this last Failbruary I'm finding it hard to rage against the climate here I suppose the next time a 50,000ft squall line collapses on my doorstep in 34/25C conditions like it did one evening in Dec last year.

Still no rain since like late June!
It has been bone dry here for 3 months.

Fuck this climate. It's a testament to how bad our climate is that the past couple of days have felt significantly different than summer despite having lows in the mid-upper 70's. Also, have you noticed how stupidly warm the obs have been at MIA this year? Not that it hasn't been a disgustingly warm year everywhere but MIA is in a league of it's own. If you're interested I'll post some comprehensive data later if you're interested.

Sh*tty seasonal lag in the spring, that coupled with the propensity for backdoor cold fronts just kills sustained warmth until May, unless an Omega Block sets up and kills May as well.
Stupid stable marine airmass killing off all convection, no matter how hot and humid it is. New Jersey cashes in continuously, while we suffer from drought, a tale of two cities.
Winter deserves its own post, I don’t even want to think of winter right now.

I really dislike the inability for this climate during this season to stay completely dry or wet. Always droplets of water coming down even from a quasi-blue sky at times. Humidity often turns into light rain and stuff like that. With glasses, it's a nightmare during autumn here.

Most of the precipitation here comes in the summer months. The only days that acutally have livable temperatures (above 10C) are mostly cloudy and rainy. And this is what I look forward to every winter.
We did not have much snow this winter (as usual the last 4 years), but May did have a quite impressive amount that also did not melt for a week.
The warmest day this september was 18,9 (of course at the very beginning of the month). September was also 1,4 C warmer than usual. And all the record highs from Sept - November are really dissapointing compared to their counterparts in spring. Sept has 27,3C May has 29,9, April has 25,4C, October has 21,0C , March has 21,5C, while November has 14,4 (!)

If you're interested I'll post some comprehensive data later if you're interested. It being cloudy and windy with rain showers helps it feel cooler. Also, even when the sun is out, it's noticeably less intense than during summer. By 3 PM it looks like late afternoon during summer already. I haven't noticed that. However, I have noticed FLL seems to be over reading since Irma. It's been warmer than HWO even during the day, when the opposite is usually the case.

This climate is nice and all from May-October, sometimes April to November if you're really lucky, but the clouds and the seasonal lag is annoying af. We're enjoying 70F now while Montana or Nebraska gets clobbered with 30F temps, but come March/April it will be the exact opposite. Both March and April are months from hell where you can expect snow and freezing temps and tons of clouds. After a long winter you just want some sunshine and warmth and this climate really holds you hostage and makes you wait for it to arrive

Cool and sunny at the moment, no true heat like a normal spring but still above average. One thing that annoys me about Perth is the lack of thunderstorms in summer as they usually come in autumn and winter, why can't there be a consistent 5-10 thunderstorms/summer.

I think this is the case for all of northern England and Scotland in particular, but it's hard not to get sick of days with constant all day soaking drizzle or rain. Way too many TBH, especially in the last 6 weeks. Can't get a break really. Makes you feel trapped inside. Just so unpleasant going out in cold, constant rain with wind.
I love rain in warm humid weather and short convective downpours though.
Other funny facts about how shit this climate is:
An average "sunny" day is typically as bright as a 60 watt lightbulb. It might not get dark until 11PM in summer but what good is that when it's only 11°C and overcast outside? You know you live in an horrific climate when the locals find 18°C "hot", "baking", "scorching" or others, as I've heard a number of times. The climate is so bad here that it's not just pleasant summer evenings that chavs hang out during, but all weather. They've adapted. It's just so satisfying to be a storm lover in a place where the total annual lightning is the same amount as about 42 seconds of a typical continental thunderstorm. It snows in winter, but because the temps hover around freezing, there is a constant cycle of melting and refreezing snow, causing horrendous and dangerous black ice and pack ice that requires football boots to have any chance of walking anywhere without slipping and fracturing your cock-six.

Not even sure where to begin with this polar iceberg day. In fact I wouldn't have been surprised to see Titanic being stuck on the harbour shore should I go down there. It's not risen above 5C all day in spite of perpetual sunshine, the windchill was daunting, I could hardly get up an easy hill while on my way to the supermarket because the wind kept throwing me down, and to add insult to injury the sun now sets just when the afternoon's supposed to begin It might as well become -5C already so I can have January over and done with. Fucks sake. Polar hellhole.

Our climate can't even record average sun hours any more. July, August, September and October have all been much cloudier than normal.

Soon all the leaves are fallen, and now the misery begins. Single digit temps all the time, damp, cold, windy, dark. Worst time of the year.
