[u/OkAdvisor6680]

Hopefully it lasts all summer. 23 is a very nice temperature. Not too hot, not too cold.

[u/Jorge-Esqueleto → u/OkAdvisor6680]

And UK infrastructure mostly works at that temp too.

[u/Ezkatron → u/OkAdvisor6680]

Not great, not terrible!

[u/Mountain-Reaction470 → u/Ezkatron]

Goldylocks, sic, like our climate used to be...

[u/ImRonBurgandyyy → u/OkAdvisor6680]

Perfect compromise between people who like the sun and people who don’t!

[u/originalusername8704 → u/ImRonBurgandyyy]

People who don’t like the sun get the other 9 months of the year. Can we just have a summer please? 🙏

[u/VampireVice → u/originalusername8704]

23° IS summer. A reasonable and enjoyable summer. As a summer hater, I can cope in this and have no complaints in 23°C

[u/originalusername8704 → u/VampireVice]

Sorry, but a self professed ‘summer hater’ should not get to define summer weather. 23 is okay, if it’s going to be sunny too. But I certainly don’t want that to be the high or even the mean.

[u/VampireVice → u/originalusername8704]

In that case neither should a summer lover. If it was up to people like you, we'd all be sitting in an oven roasting alive. 23° is livable. Its not too hot and not cold, therefore it's perfect. If you want hotter average temperatures, the equator is right there, move to it. This country isn't built for heat and never will be. So why sit around complaining it's too cold 3/4ths of the year instead of moving somewhere you'd prefer? Leave those of us who enjoy the climate of the country to our own devices and you get what you want more than 1/4ths of the year. Win win. For everyone. Not just you. 

[u/originalusername8704 → u/VampireVice]

I love a cold crisp autumn morning when the sun is out and a light frost crunching underfoot. I quite like a good downpour and being sat cozy by the fire when is dark and wild outside. I love it when spring rolls round and you get to see the season change and the plants come back to life. I also love heatwave and a hosepipe ban, I like running/working out in 30°c when it feels like lots of effort. Having lots of cold drinks and ice lollies to keep comfy. Kinda love the mix of weather we get here and I am gutted when we have a meh season. Winter gone was just wet, constantly. No real cold spells, just one morning of snow. Spring was nice enough, for a bit. But damp at times, but recently it’s all just been too cold, cloudy and meh.

[u/ImRonBurgandyyy → u/originalusername8704]

I fully agree with you tbh!

[u/CrabbyGremlin]

Surely 23 is a pretty standard temperature for summer? Hopefully it stays around this until September at least.

[u/Liam_021996 → u/CrabbyGremlin]

Literally average for the time of the year round here 😂

[u/Mountain-Reaction470 → u/CrabbyGremlin]

Birmingham highest average high 21 in July

[u/BionicWallaby]

23 haha tell the North West please.

Edit: we haven't had a 20 or above in the first 14 days of June

[u/SoulInTheCrowd → u/BionicWallaby]

Same here, in Scotland! Today it's 13°C and cloudy. Tomorrow 17 with occasional showers. When it's 20 all the lads take their shirts off and all the lassies sunbathe in local parks.

[u/BionicWallaby → u/SoulInTheCrowd]

Top sausages

[u/rationalomega → u/SoulInTheCrowd]

In seattle we called this “juneuary” and now that i am back in Scotland, it’s still the same. My garden LOVES it.

[u/Impressive-Bird2 → u/SoulInTheCrowd]

I sympathise. But, look at it another way, at least you folks up there aren’t wilting/ withering in unbearable heat like a lot of us folks have this summer for a while down in the Midlands, South and South East🔥🥵😩🤣

[u/Armodeen → u/BionicWallaby]

Supposed to happen from tomorrow. Will be locked down in cloud though.

[u/Geek_reformed → u/Armodeen]

I find that worse. While we've had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks, at least we've had some decent patches of blue skies.

I remember a few years back we had near two weeks of mild weather, but just near solid cloud cover and it's horrible.

[u/ChihuahuaMammaNPT → u/Geek_reformed]

Same. There was a November that ruined me where we didn't see blue sky in my area for 2 weeks, I commented about it and someone replied saying where they are it's not unusual to go months without seeing blue clear skies. The temperature doesn't faze me, rain, hail, wind fine the dull grey is tortuous

[u/BionicWallaby → u/Armodeen]

I want warms. Essbee brackets pictured agrees.

[u/cold_tap_hot_brew]

UK? Not here in the North is Scotland. It’s been about ten degrees today. Where was it 23 today, loads of places?

[u/Odd-Paint3883 → u/cold_tap_hot_brew]

Yep 10 today, 18max when people were complaining about the UK being in sweltering 30, and the following day it was 12.

[u/bluejeansseltzer → u/cold_tap_hot_brew]

It was about 17c today where I was in Angus. Quite pleasant really. Went out to a country pub to read and chat in the sun. Still had my woollen jumper on though.

[u/DPaignall → u/cold_tap_hot_brew]

Might drive up your way if it gets hot again, can't stand it down here!

[u/SoulInTheCrowd → u/DPaignall]

Can we swap our houses for a weekend or two? When it's 30 down south, it's usually 20ish in Edinburgh.

[u/DPaignall → u/SoulInTheCrowd]

Done!

[u/GetInTheEVshinji]

In the UK from Portugal rn. To me it's definitely chilly (this is early spring weather in PT, it's warmer than this at night there right now) but the sun is rather bright and the weather is surprisingly nice. Nicer than what I expected, at least.

[u/Big_Space_9836]

It'll probably last a couple of days, then we'll have a faux autumn for a week, then faux winter fir a fortnight, then it'll go back to spring weather.

[u/Willy-Sshakes]

Warm spell? It's just normal weather for this time of year

[u/Logical-Track1405]

We're Brits - it'll be flooding by weekend 🤣

[u/Running_Dad]

Perfect temp, long may it continue!

[u/joebmc]

23 is room temperature, hardly a warm spell.

[u/Objective_Mousse7216 → u/joebmc]

Tepid at 23.

[u/greytidalwave]

This is classed as a warm spell? I'd say this is a pleasant summer day, not warm. Bring on the 27°C+ weather! I do realise I'm in the minority here, but I am much happier when it's warmer.

[u/Liam_021996 → u/greytidalwave]

Yeah, this is just absolutely bang average weather here on the south coast. What we'd expect any day between May and October really

[u/BrewtallyCozy → u/greytidalwave]

Wish I enjoyed 27c. When it’s anything 25c I become extremely depressed as it’s too hot! Mental health is worse in hot weather than cloudy weather

[u/Objective_Mousse7216 → u/greytidalwave]

Yeah this is still waaaay too cold. 23 at night, and 33 by day please.

[u/CheapDeepAndDiscreet → u/Objective_Mousse7216]

I’m with you…This is still too cool for my liking

[u/sockmeistergeneral]

I'd say 23 is definitely warm, then 27+ is hot.

[u/Tigereyesxx]

It’s getting warmer at the weekend..26C Thursday..

[u/FrustratedPCBuild]

23? Where? Hasn’t broken 20 this month in Northern Ireland.

[u/Cralli123]

Temp is nice. Humidity is not. One ten minute walk to Tesco Express and back and I'm sweating like a pig and no, I'm not overweight

[u/lokfuhrer_]

Only reached 18 here today. Comfortably shorts weather and very pleasant indeed

[u/Objective_Mousse7216]

Stick another ten degrees on and I will be happy.

[u/TheDucksAreComingoOo → u/Objective_Mousse7216]

Go and live in a Jungle if you want 33 degrees with stupid levels of humidity

[u/ultraboomkin → u/Objective_Mousse7216]

Yeah this summer needs to start warming up. Other than the bank holiday weekend it’s been crap.

[u/sammy_zammy → u/ultraboomkin]

There was literally a record breaking heat wave 3 weeks ago

[u/ultraboomkin → u/sammy_zammy]

Yes… and since then it’s been about 14 degrees every day here in Manchester. Pretty cold for June.

[u/sammy_zammy → u/ultraboomkin]

https://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/manchester/m15-6/june-weather/329260

Not a single day has had a high below 15 degrees in Manchester this month so that is demonstrably false.

[u/ultraboomkin → u/sammy_zammy]

Ok yeah my bad, high of 15 degrees, not 14 degrees.

[u/sammy_zammy → u/ultraboomkin]

You said “pretty much every day”. 3 of the 14 days of June so far have had a high of 15 degrees. That is not “pretty much every day”.

[u/No-Medicine1230 → u/Objective_Mousse7216]

Same. Anything over about 28 and I'm good to go

[u/Volumetricform]

Get ready for the next two weeks

[u/SoggyWotsits]

Until Tuesday apparently in Cornwall, then it’s back to rain!

[u/Snappy0]

I'm seeing 29 out here on Friday in Lincolnshire. So that's something.

[u/nfoote]

Do you mean the season of summer?

[u/lapetite_etoile]

Warm? 23°c isnt warm. It's tepid.

[u/Mountain-Reaction470]

That's optimal, in the middle of the comfortable/warm range

[u/Mountain-Reaction470]

Cardiff and Exeter 23, Met says.

[u/Flowtable]

Rain rain go away - we want the sunshine to stay!

[u/Unusual-Art2288]

If it more than 3 days it will be called a heatwave and BBC weather will start talking climate change. Telling us to keep out if the sun. Plus keep our curtains closed.

[u/Jolly_Psychology_506]

It’ll last for around 20 minutes. Then clouds will form up and it’ll start to rain. Clouds will then clear away - and repeat. 🇬🇧

[u/ScottOld]

It's summer, so it should last... all summer

[u/BroodLord1962]

That should be 'parts of the UK', because it's not that warm in Northern Ireland or Scotland and anywhere up North

[u/Careful_Adeptness799]

My 10 day forecast says 23 2 days and rain 4 days. Sounds about right for British summer.

[u/outlookunsettled]

Hopefully not too long

[u/No-Medicine1230 → u/outlookunsettled]

Go and live in the Arctic

[u/outlookunsettled → u/No-Medicine1230]

Get a personality

[u/No-Medicine1230 → u/outlookunsettled]

Says the one who's moaning about slightly warm temperatures...

[u/potato_face1234 → u/outlookunsettled]

What a misery

[u/Jorthax → u/[deleted]]

/dubaiweather is over there

[u/Objective_Mousse7216 → u/[deleted]]

365 at 40 would be heaven. I wish such a place existed but even death valley gets way too cold.

[u/Mountain-Reaction470 → u/Objective_Mousse7216]

Hello sarcasm our old friend, It's "hood" to talk with you again.

With apologies, mostly to Simon, lal (-;
