Maybe it’s just me but it’s felt like a particular bleak January and February this year.

Happy to see some sun even if that also comes with the start of allergy season.

For about 90% of the country, this winter has been among the wettest on record.

Rainfall map UK winter 25-26

3 counties saw their wettest on record (since 1837), 16 more had top 5 wettest and 41 more had top 10.

And just so people don't think this is an outlier and not part of a wider trend:

Wettest winter on record

For almost the entire UK, the wettest winter on record was within the last 15 years.

Cornwall has been an absolute swamp this January.

I completely agree and relate to this to the point to where it feels uncanny, like as if I just read my own words. Past couple of months have been visually miserable and that does have an effect on mental health - Wake up, grey, midday, grey, barely existent sun goes down before you've even woken up properly.

And now the sun returns and it comes with bloody headaches and earaches and a dry throat. Earth, why do you make me suffer like this?
