I love summer in the UK, best day of the year.

[–]OneFootInTheDave 126 points127 points ago

Really? This is how I feel.

[–]FighterOfFoo 36 points37 points ago

When it's really hot at night, I can't sleep.
When it's raining at night, there's nothing better than to listen to the rain as I fall to sleep.

    The only reason I dislike it raining all the time is that it slows down my Internet connection. Apart from that, I agree!

    [–]JAV0K 7 points8 points ago

    Sorry, but why? How does rain effect your Internet speed?

    [–]lunacraz 18 points19 points ago

    if it's cable, could mean more people indoors therefore less bandwidth

    [–]mac3 4 points5 points ago

    I'm going to assume he has some kind of dish line-of-sight connection that the rain/clouds interfere with.

    [–]rhod0psin 2 points3 points ago

    For about ten years we were stuck with a connection that crackled viciously during phone conversations when moisture got into the cable. Every time BT engineers came out they said it seemed fine, but didn't change the fact it would ruin our bandwidth and stop us being able to talk to anyone. Finally had that problem sorted about 15 years later and now just have to contend with wind bringing the cable down now and then.

    I only live about ten miles from a town, but it's not a very big town...

    [–]Bondsy 1 point2 points ago

    Not sure about that, but we had bad rain and some lightning last night in the southern US, and my internet would cut out for about a minute every 20-30 mins. Nothing bad, but very annoying while online gaming.

    I'm sure mine was from the bad weather, but maybe long rains, such as weeks at a time, cause people to overload the internet more? I dunno.

    [–]noradrenaline 1 point2 points ago

    Every time it rains here, the rain gets in the BT cabinets that are buried underground and we lose phonelines and internet for the entire road.

    [–]Sqwalnoc 2 points3 points ago

    exactly. everytime it doesn't rain I get obliterated by incredible hayfever

    [–]inormallyjustlurkbut 1 point2 points ago

    When filming this scene, Gene Kelly was actually suffering from a very high fever (103F/39C). So in a way, you're saying that you feel very hot in the summer.

    [–]Laurifish 1 point2 points ago

    That's how I would be! Here in Missouri they're trying to declare the state and agricultural disaster area due to crops lost to the drought. It is so dry here that someone was brush-hogging (mowing) and hit a rock and it caused a spark that instantly caught and burned 1200 acres of national forest. We've gotten a few minutes of rain, but usually with the sun still shining and it just turns to steam almost instantly raising the humidity to ridiculous levels. (And MO is usually a humid state anyway, I've seen 100% humidity many times.) Probably the only good thing about the drought is that our humidity on the average day has been low.

    Oh, it rains here in America, too.

    Then the sun comes out 5 minutes later and turns the outdoors into a sauna.

    [–]silverbackjack[S] 162 points163 points ago

    Yeah but while it's been sunny in the US it's been raining EVERY DAY. Not just little drops but those big fuckoff drops that come down with such force they kill frail old ladies.

    Edit: Two weeks of rain so far.

    [–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 67 points68 points ago

    "fuckoff" as an adjective is fun, usually it's a verb in America.

    [–]silverbackjack[S] 68 points69 points ago

    It's a regional thing in the UK. In Yorkshire (where I'm from) it's commonly used (at least amongst my circle of friends) to emphasize the size of something.

    Big is interpreted as big-ish and FUCKOFF BIG is like huge/gargantuan/colossal/elephantine.

    I think the reason we say FUCKOFF in that context is because it requires more brain power and time to think of a word like COLOSSAL or even HUGE and thus the sentence becomes broken as the time required to dig out such a word from our slang filled, whippet loving, flat cap wearing brains is filled with sounds like, "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmm" and "durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

    [–]this_sort_of_thing 87 points88 points ago

    Being from the midlands, I agree with both sentiments.

    [–]this_sort_of_thing 18 points19 points ago

    In any inevitable civil war, I think both of us would agree to taking out the midlands before anything actually started. Sort of like what the Nazis and Soviets did to Poland, to give historical context. That's right, you are the Poland of England. Well done.

    [–]rolandparkwaydrive 7 points8 points ago

    Except invading the midlands would be like invading Russia in the winter for you. You would not survive.

          My parents were in Yorkshire once, and the man on tv called a day we would consider moderately warm (70s, on the Fahrenheit scale) "A SCORCHER!"

          If that's a scorcher, you would die here.

          yeah, 70 farenheit is by no means a scorcher. We've had hot days in the UK, but it rarely gets above 86 for more than a day or two.

          EDIT: fucking fahrenheit..

          [–]Dlax8 5 points6 points ago

          Its going to be 90 to mid 90's all week here.

          EDIT: I'm in the north.

          [–]happlepaff 4 points5 points ago

          north of where?? I'm in the Midlands and we're getting nothing above about 14 degrees celcius (about 57 fahrenheit) for the rest of the week, accompanied with drizzle and clouds.

              We don't pronounce the letter "t" either, or say the word "the". E.g. "Comin down pub?" constitutes an entire sentence.

                Where are you at uni? My uni is just full of Welsh people, so we don't come across many different accents.

                I think every area has colloquialisms though, I've never heard someone outside of the South West (Wales included) use the term "where's it to?"

                      I'd take that over what we've had in Wisconsin. There hasn't been a good rain (or really any more than a sprinkle) in about a month and a half now. Meanwhile, the temperature and humidity has constantly been high. Everything is brown and dead.

                      During the summer any rain we get is generally associated with a thunderstorm, so it comes fast and furious for 10 minutes to an hour and then stops. There is also often strong wind (rendering umbrellas useless) and hail. This is why it is not uncommon to find gatherings at store entrances; all people forced to wait for the storm to subside before returning to their vehicle.

                      [–]Teledildonic 1 point2 points ago

                      I lived in England for a year and a half (long ago) and I swear I saw two weeks worth of sunshine over the entire stay. I never knew the world could be so fucking cloudy/drizzly.

                      Not just little drops but those big fuckoff drops that come down with such force they kill frail old ladies.

                      I'm sorry, but England rain showers are small-time. It's all wimpy drizzles! Come to southeast Texas in the middle of summer, it's basically liquid hail. And god help you if there is a tropical storm landing. We have a special word for our rain, it's called a Toad Strangler.

                      [–]SMTRodent 2 points3 points ago

                      English rain showers usually are small time, yes. However, this year we've been getting more tropical deluges. Very hard, very heavy, VERY LOUD rain which puts a couple of inches of water down in the space of a few minutes. Most of the rain has been just on the heavy side of normal English, but the more tropical rainfall has been hitting once or twice every week.

                      [–]pickled_cock_sammich 1 point2 points ago

                      Yeah? We've got large parts of major world farming areas that haven't seen rain in weeks. I would rather have rain then hot, humid, make you drown air. Let's not forget all us neckbeards with seasonal allergies that want to blow our brains out this summer just to stop the sinus headaches.

                      You're what, wet? Oh boy. That's better than a water ban because of drought. Drought. In the most advanced country in the world, we're suffering from mass drought. Hey, I just forgot about the fires. Bet they would punch you in the face for complaining about rain.

                      [–]Homletmoo 2 points3 points ago

                      Actually, in certain circumstances (which have been highly present recently in Surrey, at least), rain actually helps to circulate pollen, meaning Hay-fever has been - if anything - worse over here. But don't worry about us, we're used to the rain - you keep resting and I'm sure the sniffles will soon patch up.

                          Where I am we're having problems with both heat and rain. 5 days of 100+, 3 days of flash flood warnings, 6 days of 90+, 4 days of flash flood warnings, etc. It sucks because this area is dependent on outdoor recreation and tourism. That, and I work outside.

                          What, do you want to know the title? It's the Emperor's New Groove, a hilarious movie and the only work where I actually liked David Spade.

                            BEST MOVIE. This may be a glorified memory from my childhood, though. I haven't seen it since. I know I loved it to bits. I wanna watch it again.

                              South Alabama here: It's see-sawing between 100+ degrees with no breeze and severe thunderstorms all in the same day. Result: It's balls hot and feels like breathing mud.

                              Of course, this is normal weather for us, so...

                              Upboated. Seriously, this summer fucking sucks. I thought we had it bad last year, but this takes the piss. Probably made worse by out of town friends continually asking how "Sunny Brighton" is. Bastards.

                                The funniest part about our summer is that until recently many parts of the UK were officially suffering a drought.

                                As an American(Southern California's High Desert, specifically) that has just taken up a permanent residancy in England(West Midlands), this is entirely too relevant.

                                I came from desert dry 100f+ days and 80f nights to buckets and buckets of rain every day of the 2 weeks since I've landed.

                                It was quite warm in London today. Maybe 22C? I still felt cold, but everyone else was saying how warm it was.

                                Also, I would happily exchange a week of 35C weather for the same amount of rain we've had this week.

                                To be fair, as soon as it goes over 24 degrees in England we start complaining about the heat, so we're never really happy.

                                I'd take your rain. I live in North Carolina (A Southeastern state in America...just in case..)..it has been 101 degrees farenheit for the past two weeks. I literally vomitted for ten hours due to heat exhaustion haha. I work outside so it's my fault I didn't stay hydrated anyway..but still. We should trade lives for a week then I think we'd both be good!

                                Not sweet enough? How about I throw in the 7 days of 100F (37C) temps we're looking forward to next week?

                                If only we could arrange an actual climate exchange system on a week-by-week basis, so many of the world's problems would be solved.

                                  I always get angry at people who say they love the rain. What's fun about not seeing blue sky for days on end and getting soaked every time you go outside and not having anything to do because no one wants to leave the house and being cold. :(

                                  [–]Silence_Is_Necessary 3 points4 points ago

                                  The rain is beautiful. I love the smell, the rich colour of the mud, the sound of it clashing with different things, the comfort of watching it from inside with a nice cup of tea, and even the angry-looking sky above. My dogs probably love it because they get extra walks when it's pouring down outside.

                                  Rain can be fun if you have a pair of wellies! I'm a grown man, but I get a lot of satisfaction walking through muddy puddles.

                                    It has rained for a week here in Houston. It's a nice break from the 100 degree weather. I am thoroughly enjoying it. It's still 90% humidity outside but it's better than nothing!

                                    I'd take the rain over the total lack of rain combined with the 100+ degree temperatures we've been having here. At least I can go outside when it's just raining.

                                    The weather here blows (eastern US). Because of that storm about two weeks ago, My dad worked 118 hours in a total of 8 straight days days for a company that cleans up all the fallen trees and such. 118 hours in 8 days. Ridiculous.

                                    I can't believe they are complaining about rain. We get a 5 minute storm that kills power and returns to sweltering heat. As someone who was visited by someone like your dad, thanks. It's nice to have things returning to normal.

                                    I was once in london when it broke 100°F for the first time in 450 years of record keeping. There were only three places in the city I knew of that had air conditioning...harrods, starbucks and, the one that was broken, my hotel. In england, heat waves suck hard.

                                    There is a drought in my area, I would gladly take any rain I can get. My hay fields are not growing. My horses and sheep are consuming 3 to 10 gallons of water a day. Complain all you want about rain but unless you and your house are underwater its not that bad.

                                    its raining so much here that ive barely been able to grow anything, seeds just wont germinate as the soil is sodden and too cold, not to mention that slugs LOVE the rain and therefore have been eating everything that manages to germinate. weve also just had hose pipe bans lifted after 2 very dry years, so yeah its not actually good here either

                                      Raining in central Texas for three straight days. I'd send you some sunshine if I could and if we had some. :]

                                      Texas' summer has been very mild, I am just glad the heat wave we had last year wasn't in the north east, they all would of died. •Dallas, Texas - 70 days with 100-degree heat sets new record for any year. A littler more than 1/5 of the year was over 100. Americas Hottest summmer ever.

                                      I'm in San Antonio. I've lived in Texas for twenty five yrs. This is the first time I've ever considered it too hot.

                                      yes, please do, and ask for some rain in return. That's what's been keeping it so cool down here.

                                      Want to trade? You get to live in Tampa, FL. I don't care where you are, it is better than Tampa.

                                      I'll trade you. 40C+ here on average during the summer.

                                      I'm in Southern California and it has been hot as fuck. Except I don't deserve any sympathy because it's only been in the upper 80's. I can't imagine what it's been like in Hotlanta.

                                      I guess you just get acclimated to the temps. I am guessing the gulf is finally getting some attention again, though.

                                      Where I am (s/e Texas), it has been raining non stop for the last 3 days. But the rain has brought cool weather, so I'm ok with it.

                                      edit: ok, it looks like the sun us coming out now. better not go outside for the rest of the day

                                      I feel bad to say this, but I live in Southern California and it is kind of cold right now. It's overcast and was sprinkling earlier. I guess I'm in the one spot where it isn't balls hot.
