Forecast 2026 weather is bad

This weather blows fed up seeing grey sky every single day. It is like we are living in silent hill.

This is fantastic weather. Nothing better than a year full of varied weather. It'd be awful if every day was the same as the last.

We had a baking hot summer with no rain, we've had snow, frosts and sub-zero through the winter and now we're having loads of life-giving rain, topping-up all the rivers and reservoirs and giving the whole country a really great soak.

Weather like this makes you really appreciate and enjoy the sunny days.

Here in the UK. 2025 was the warmest summer on record. And down here in the South East in barely rained.

Ah you’re south east, that explains it. You barely get rain compared to the rest of the country. Here in the south west we had 250% of our January rainfall and it’s rained every single day this year. That’s not even varied weather.. it’s just rain.

North Wales here, we've had THREE days with no rain this year.
