Moved to Bristol a month and a half ago. WHEN WILL IT STOP RAINING?

[Brainaddict]

I knew Bristol was wetter than London but dear god, 9 days out of 10 have been raining since I arrived! It's an unacceptable level of rain tbh.

Anyway, is there anyone in the city who doesn't hate me and would like to meet for a drink sometime?

 

[gentlegreen]

Indeed - but sometimes it falls in Wales before it reaches us ...

 

[Brainaddict]

Look, I don't care if this is how you normally do things round here. It needs to stop, right now.

 

[planetgeli]

If you can make it to West Wales I'll meet you and laugh at your 9 days out of 10.

I am surprised you did no weather research before moving

Used to go to Bristol about once a month a few years ago, was always pissing it down.

Buy a kagool. Go out anyway even if it's raining. West Country/Wales rules.

 

[kalidarkone]

The rain is a national thing.
I'm in Bristol.
Perhaps when I'm feeling more sociable

 

[Elpenor]

Go Wet, young man, go Wet and grow up with the country

Quite likely improving next week for up to two weeks.

Buying a kangaroo won't make any difference.

It may be wet
In Somerset,
But what you get
In Brizzle
Only really counts as drizzle.

I shall be sampling the delights of Bristol on 26-27 Jan…mainly in the wave where the pesky precipitation is less of a bother

Tha wants to get thasen oop North, it's always sunny in Manchester. Or something.

(Yes I know that's Yorkshire dialect not Lancashire, but Yorkshire dialect just comes more naturally.)

 

[xenon]

welcome. Rain, it’s practically Wales I suppose. i’d be up for having a pint with you. I think I met you a few years ago South London drinks.

Of course it will, you'll have to go to Australia to pick it up and it's summer there now.

 

[StoneRoad]

I'm from Brizzle originally, but I ran away "oop norff" years/decades ago.

My childhood memories are of plenty of sun, so I've no idea whot's ganning on wiv t'weavver atv the moment.

 

[Epona]

tbf, it's not exactly been dry in London during that period either

Great, are there any regular Bristol drinks or has that not happened for a while?

No regular ones and the last thread I started I don’t think went all that well. I mean fizzled out. But fuck it yeah i’ll start another one. There are a few of us in the general Bristol area.

But is Tangiers wetter than London, really?

More total rain, but a dry season, fewer rainy days overall, and almost certainly significantly fewer hours of rain. I wouldn't have guessed that, though - a bit more rain, but also almost twice as much sunshine.

Rain in Britain is endurance rain. It paces itself so that it can last all day.

I did know that London was a particularly dry area, though some of that surprises me.

I also knew the rain was across the whole country but was pretending to believe otherwise for comedic effect.

 

[Plumdaff]

On the plus side, it's normally much milder in winter while it pisses it down and you'll rarely see a frost (through the pissing rain)

Doh! Now you have ruined the joke.

The only problem with that is the affectation was so plausible it didn't achieve the comedic effect you sought

Cornwall's the same just now if it's any consolation Brainaddict - I got soaked to the skin trying to get a few steps in first thing today.
