Unbelievable, the summer is a complete washout, hammering it down yet again here in Nottingham, been raining for 6 weeks, summer passing us by, gurantee it carries on through the Olympics too, typical.
You can't have "freak" weather and floods every year, been very odd for a good few years now, all weather records seem to have been broken in this time too, are some still in denial that climate chang is actually happening?
Gonna be more suicides come winter if this carries on, fucking depressing!
Any good news on the horizon Ted?

I am in an office all week the same as you P so the weather only had a bearing on my life at the weekends. I have only just come back from Mallorca so I shouldn't moan too much I suppose.

Looks like the weather's about to take a turn for the better - the BBC's predicting next week on Tuesday it'll be 29°, Wednesday 31°, Thursday 32° and Friday 26°.
All to do with that jet stream - BBC article C&P below
Jet stream changes may bring warmer weather to UK
Following three months of miserable weather blamed on a stuck jet stream pattern which has brought record breaking rainfall across the British Isles, things are about to change.Continue reading the main story

Floods as torrential rain hits UK
The jet stream is likely to change course soon, ending the UK's spell of miserable weather, forecasters say.
The UK is expected to get drier and warmer next week but only after more rain hits an already record summer.
This year has seen the wettest April, the wettest June and the wettest April-to-June period on record.
The cause has been the unusually southerly location of the jet stream, a high-altitude belt of wind; but it is expected to move northwards soon.
This should bring more normal summer weather - probably in time for the Olympics.
"Around the middle of next week, pressure will build - the Azores high," said BBC weather presenter Cecilia Daly.
"This would allow our weather to take on more normal summer characteristics."
The jet stream normally sits to the north of the UK in summer, directing areas of low pressure and bad weather further north.
The jet stream has been further south than usual this summer, bringing wet and cold weather to much of the country
But changeable weather can be expected until that point, especially in north-western parts of the UK.
The anticipated change would put an end to an intense period that has seen serious flooding in most parts of the UK, with several areas experiencing an entire month's rain in a single day.
At one point earlier this month, the Environment Agency issued flood warnings in 171 locations simultaneously.
The trend has continued in early July, with England and Wales both experiencing above average rainfall.
Cooler than the continent
There are four jet streams circling the globe, two each in the northern and southern hemispheres.
While the UK has been drenched, large swathes of the US have been unseasonably hot
They flow at an altitude of about 7-10km (4.5-6 miles) from west to east.
Aircraft flying from North America to Europe typically take advantage of the northern hemisphere polar jet to speed their journeys.
The jet stream's path is far from uniform and its location can vary.
In summer it usually sits to the north of the UK, making British weather a slightly cooler version of what continental Europe is experiencing.
But for much of 2012, it sat much further south. The high-velocity wind effectively sucked moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and kept the UK cool and wet.
Effects have been very different on the other side of the Atlantic. More than half of the US is in drought and disasters have officially been declared in 1,000 counties spanning 26 states.
As the jet stream moves northwards, as it is expected to do, the UK's weather should return to a more conventional pattern.
"What that means is it's taking those weather systems further north with it, so things should really settle down a little bit more over the south," said Dave Britton of the Met Office.
"But [it will be] bringing more in the way of wet conditions to northwest Scotland."

Drove home from Suffolk today in rain that the fastest wiper settings couldn't really deal with. Fucking disgusting. Scary too as I'm well out of practice with driving! Changing lanes when it was busy and relying on the sodden mirrors was brutal

I asked Paddypower for a price on the Opening ceremony reaching 30 degrees last Thursday.
The have waited until today to come back and say they will have prices for weather at the Olympics next week.
What a load of shit,what c**nts they are.
the whole point of my bet was to make a long range forcast on the likelyhood with all this rain and met office saying it'll will rain until september .
It will be 30 degrees on the 27th July at the opening ceremony,London 2012 you've read it here.

Did Sky get this info from WHO ?
The Jet Stream was explained weeks ago on here and was predicted to move north eventually.
