Charlie Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right It's all right The sun has finally come out properly and I feel like I can say it's summer (disregarding the fact I have 3 exams next week)! What's everyone's favourite Summer tune then? What will you be doing outside in the sunshine today? I've already been out for an early morning to run to try and beat the heat. Managed to shave 5 seconds off my 5k time even though it's much hotter than the last time I did it! Later on I'll be heading across the road to the local cricket pitch to pretend to be interested in the cricket match and try to do a wee bit of revision. The view from my living room window where I shall be later on today. And let's share our Summer playlists too! My Summer Spotify Playlist Edited May 22, 2010 by Charlie
Cube Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I'll be walking through the park into town, get my hair cut (it's too warm in the summer) and possibly pick up Split/Second or Red Dead Redemption.
Eenuh Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 But it's still Spring... Anyway I'll be doing the same as I always seem to do: work. No time to enjoy the weather. =( Though we might have BBQ for dinner tonight, at least that's something.
Charlie Posted May 22, 2010 Author Posted May 22, 2010 But it's still Spring... The sun is out, it doesn't matter what season it 'officially' is!
Eenuh Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 So you normally don't have sun during Spring? =P For us this April was the warmest (and probably the sunniest) month ever since they started measuring heh. For me it's not really summer until temperatures get to above 25°, closer to 30.
Paj! Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Lol, right now I'm in my dimly lit room with the curtains drawn. :p Going driving in about 2 hours, which'll nice if it's still sunny. Then I want to do some revision outside.
Cube Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 For me it's not really summer until temperatures get to above 25°, closer to 30. For us, the sun just starts to feel different at this point. It feels warmer, even when there are cloudy and rainy patches. For us, that's summer. It's not really easy to explain. I would guess that it has something to do with the wind, and I'd wager that the past few days the main wind coming into this country is coming from the south now, as opposed to the northern winds that we have at times. Then we'll get to the stage where we get mainly the Atlantic breeze, with lots of warmth and rain. Or I could be talking a load of nonsense. I think I'm kind of right, though.

But it's the same here though, warm winds coming from the south (mainly France and Spain, or Africa). It starts getting warm and sunny during Spring (April-May), but it's not really summery until somewhere in June heh. For me Summer is when everyone strolls around in shorts and skirts, which isn't happening yet right now hehe. =P Anyway the only reason I said it's still Spring is because it's my favourite season, and people just seem to ignore it in favour of Summer. Pfff. =P
Tales Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Sun pops out every now and then, but most of the days it's still cold. I actually got a cold or something like that. Got a serious headache yesterday afternoon and felt really bad as the day went on. The forecast says about 7-8 degrees for most of next week with a day or two with 5-15 degrees and with nothing but clouds for the next ten days
Raining_again Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Spring over here consists of a LOT of rain. The brits are always obsessed with weather. I bet portrush is busy as hell today.. the minute the sun comes everyone makes a quick dash to the coast before it goes away =P
Jimbob Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Just about Summer temperatures down in Wales, and i've been out and got my Summer chop (basically, numero 2 or 3 all over). Britain consistantly moans about the weather, they moan when it's too hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, snowy, foggy etc.
Eenuh Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Haha that reminds me, I read on a news site last week that they did a survey in the UK, and apparently people spend an average of 49 hours per year talking about the weather. Which is more than they talk about work, sports, television and gossip. =P
MoogleViper Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Just about Summer temperatures down in Wales, I'll second that. Was slightly too hot yesterday in jeans and a t-shirt.
nightwolf Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Eurgh summer. I don't like it, its hot, wasps come out, sunburn, etc. I am looking forward to it being nice at download, although if its like today I'll just roast and get moody.
Beast Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I shall be going out to the country pub with my family, having a nice cold pint of Guinness. Also, me and my friend are planning a 'school reunion' which is basically a picnic kinda thing so that should be cool too.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Just had my last day of school, and the weather seemed to know: For the past few days, we've had (and still have) the most summery weather as of yet this year: Bright blue sky and sun up high and temperatures above 20 C. I think "Here Comes The Sun" is a valid contestant for my favourite summer time song.
Ashley Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I'm not really a summer person. Can't handle the heat (because I can't control it :p) but I'm trying to moan less every year. Just walked back home and at one point felt like my ear was on fire. I don't tan and I just get bitten so there are little benefits for me personally. Although I do fancy a gin and bitter lemon and kicking back in the garden later. 6pm onwards on a summers day is fine for me ^_^ Oh and as far as summer music: Bebel Gilberto.
Paj! Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I don't tan either, I just get red skin. Which EVENTUALLY sort of fades so I have slightly-darker-than-lily-white-skin, but then goes back to normal. I need to cut my hair, now spring's been run through by summer's sword.
Raining_again Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I've got type 1 skin, that burns and rarely/never tans. Plus my meds mean I have to stay in away from the sun in the peak hours. (high increase in risk of skin cancer) >___> It's lovely outside later on in the day, but i freakin hate summers at night because I can't sleep.. toooo warm!
Ganepark32 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I LOVE summer! The sun, the heat (especially when it's cut with a cool breeze), sitting outside with a cool drink and basking in the light and the long daylight hours (seriously, there have been days during the summer when I've still been able to see blue daytime skies close to midnight). Really is my favourite time of year as it encourages me to be lazy :p And the good thing is that I do tan reasonably well. Yeah............ just need to remember not to fall asleep or zone out and then come to 2 hours later to find my hands and feet are sunburnt. Oops Happened last time I went to Portugal and hopefully I'll never make that mistake again. As for summer listening, I have trouble at times picking/finding anything suitable to fit the occasion. Usually plonk for some Santana but a bit of Silversun Pickups is doing the trick these days and Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane is also getting a lot of sunny weather play from me.
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I pretty much stay indoors either way, the only things which will be a serious change is my window being open and my not wearing any socks.
Eddage Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Just got back from a weekend down in Brixham, it was scorching hot all three days and amazingly I only got burned a tiny bit, not even that badly either! The sea was still freezing cold though!
