That's why it was so good!

I hope global warming comes back so all our summers become like 2006.

Max temp reached only 10 degrees Celsius in Buxton today. Heatwave.

I was going to go for a ski after lunch, but the mountain is closed due to wind. It might have to be an afternoon of boozy excess instead.

Drizzling, overcast, 6 C (43 F) and 35 km/hr (22 mph) winds here at 12:35 PM. This would be a very bad day in the middle of july let alone mid-september!

Sounds refreshingly cool.

I'll be sure to gloat the next time you get a triple digit temp (might have to wait a while though) saying how pleasantly warm it must be. 60 F is "refreshing" -- this is just utterly miserable. It's all very well for someone like you who stays inside all day long. I like to enjoy the outdoors.

Very happy to be off work today and nice and cosy in my 75 F room. However, I would prefer to be outside in the sun with 65 - 70 F.

I like the "coziness" home offers during the drearier parts of the year, but I actually take walks in the weather you're having. It's also much more conducive to outdoor activity than even 70 F, let alone typical summer weather in the US, IMO.

Sure, you take five minute walks in such conditions whilst bundled up in a thick coat with several layers underneath, which is the only way you're able to be outside without being in danger of hypothermia.

We're seeing sub-freezing windchills right now plus heavy rain. If you seriously believe that this is "more conducive to outdoor activity than even 70 F" you need to get your head examined. I know you have a perverse obsession with cold, miserable, subarctic climates, but you're beggining to sound a bit like Kaul now with statements like that.

The temp this afternoon is the same as the average overnight low at this time of year and I'm very angry about it, especially since we were promised a milder than average september. And this beastly weather is forecast to continue until the end of the month!

I thought you said it was drizzling? I agree that heavy rain isn't conducive to outdoor activity, whether it's 43 F or 70 F. But if it's dry or only drizzling, then I find cooler temperatures more comfortable while doing outdoor activities (hiking, jogging, basketball, tennis, golf, etc). I would rather go for a walk or a jog when it's in the 30s and 40s, rather than the 70s. Even in benign 70 F weather, excessive physical activity can get uncomfortable. But if it's cooler, I won't be nearly as uncomfortable. Wearing sweatshirts and jackets actually keep me warm. But efforts to stay cool during the summer don't work as well for me.
