And here in south east London,it is another gloomy morning. It’s like someone keeps forgetting to take the cover off the budgie cage.😏

Same here at the Essex seaside. I think the phrase for it is "anti-cyclonic gloom", which sums it up precisely.

This year has been a total disaster in this are of Europe, on the 12 to 15 July heavy rains caused wide spread damage and death, with Rhineland Platinate Germany, Southen Wallonia Belgium, and South Limburg Netherlands being the worse hit, with an estimated death toll of 165, and a estimated bill for repairs running into the Billions of Euros.

As someone whose mood and general health is adversely affected by the lower light levels of autumn and winter, it has been dispiriting to experience October melancholy during August.

I am reminded how lucky I am to be living somewhere with considerably more sunshine than the UK almost every time I return 'home'.

I was walking past a wide, paved rill of trickling water situated in the middle of a town square this weekend, and said to my other half that I bet it would be full of paddling kids in the summer.

To me there are two things that have made this summer particularly tiresome in London. First it has not been compensated by a good spring. Previously poor summers such as 2007 and 2012 had one or two very good spring month(s) to compensate. This year did not, April was dry and sunny but it was unusually cold. Second is that London and the Southeast has been the outlier this summer, most of the country has had a good or at least OK summer as those Met Office maps show. Perhaps Autumn will still deliver something, though looking at the forecast I am not too hopeful.

On the bright side, today's miserable bank holiday has been two degrees warmer than last year's.
