To be fair last summer was down right horrific and as much as I don't enjoy the rain at all, I'd rather not have to deal with 45Β° heat again any time soon.

Could we maybe get a solid 26/27Β° instead?

Same, anything above that and it feels too hot to me

I was looking at the rain today and thinking β€˜ah! A traditional English summer, I’ve kinda missed them’

At least it had the good grace to wait until my washing was (mostly) dry this time.

Spare a thought for those of us who live on the Tour de France route

Endless entourages of lycra-clad, middle-aged men wiggling their Lidl-advertising buttocks at you as they trundle up a mountain in a pack the length of an hgv with no opportunities to overtake while leaving them the required 1.5m

Each to their own and that but fuck me, yous have some fuckin grotesque bumcheeks

Hey my bum is very toned 🀣🀣

Oh great, thunderstorms due tomorrow just when I start work. Guess I'll have to go by public transport instead of bike.

[–] adventurecyclist 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish I could ride as well.. But my issues isn't the rain I have done my back in😭😭

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no! Is it very painful?

(and the weather wasn't anywhere as bad as the forecast! Could have cycled!)

[–] adventurecyclist 2 points 1 year ago

Been almost 2 weeks off the bike but it's starting to show some small improvements. 🀞

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hurrah for public transport!

I'm discovering the joys of running to work (just 4 miles) when it's raining - still quicker than the bus! πŸ™„

Has been torrential rain here in Dublin, Ireland today. You would swear it was a winters day!

[–] adventurecyclist 3 points 1 year ago

bloody horrific..

[–] curryandbeans@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’d be celebrating this rain if it wasn’t still so fucking muggy. It’s horrible!
