      UK. It’s been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.

      Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It’s fucking pissing it down right now in fact.

        Same here in Finland. We don’t have high temperatures, but the humidity is really high.

        Germany too, barely went higher than 25 and rained for days at times, something I haven’t experienced here in the southwest for half a decade or so at least. Definitely not this long at this time of year

          You must have been out of the country in July … there were 2 weeks where temperatures never went below 25°C … with peaks at 35°.
