Question

Why is it so cold and rainy this August in the UK?

Answer 1

cause of global warming if you want this to stop reycycle

Answer 2

I'm a bit puzzled as to when this "heatwave" refered to by the previous answerere took place; the last time we had a really hot summer, to my mind, was 6 years ago, and for a real scorcher you'd have to go back to 1995 - hardly recent times.

Anyway, I agree pretty much with most of the above: global warming (naturally occuring, exacerbated by man) is the reason, along with the rain spreading in from the gulf stream.  Thereis a high conentration of water evaporating from the Atlantic, and I am beginning to believe we are just caught in a big cycle of heavy rainy summers, which will in time be replaced by sun, and so on ad nauseum.

We have had sunny days this year,but they have always been repaid by torrential rains.

I asked a similar question - looks like you got all my answers!

Answer 3

LOL @ the idiots who said global warming.

Great Britain, alongwith quite a few other countries in Europe is currently experiencing a monsoon season.

It's not cold, but perhaps you are thinking it is so because it's dull and raining all the time.

Not long ago, Britain experienced a heat wave, yet people blame global warming on that aswell?

People are miseducated with global warming.

Simple weather changes means people panic and think it's all caused by car pollution.

Yet you'll find that water vapour is a hundred fold more a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Bad weather comes and goes, yet no-one thinks that how many times we have good weather?

Save the polar bears ZOMG.

Answer 4

It is called global warming Here at the moment.The sun is shining

Answer 5

It's so miserable, James, I think we need to put it down to that old thing called Global warming.

The sun will probably reappear in December.

Keep smiling - it's the only way to brighten up the rainy days!!

Answer 6

I do not know. I don't believe it is global warming otherwise it'd be 30c come Christmas.

I just believe in it being bad luck, because 3 years ago and before we actually got good summers, just the last couple of summers have been pretty awful but then you see the good days aswell.

English weather is just on a bad patch right now, like the England football team :D

Answer 7

probs future summers will be the same

Answer 8

Dunno,James.but have to say it's getting me down.

Answer 9

Just a bad August, so far.

You get good ones and bad ones.

Always was that way.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Typical english weather :)

Answer 12

Global Warming

Answer 13

Yes it's Global 'warming', don't you know? you have been told by your government, (and they never lie) do they? One independent scientist believes we are heading for an ice age, I think he could be right as he has nothing to gain either way.
