I know what you mean but here on the Wet Coast of Canada things have been nice for the last month just about froze to death 1st of june here was still a foot of snow at the 4600 foot level...
Weird isn't it, I worked up near Moffat doing some shuttering for a couple of weeks recently and in that time there was only one day when it rained bad. The rest of the time it was OK.
Much of Ireland has been just terrible too. We did have one great week in May though 
Funnily enough, nearly every day has actually seen some sunshine. It might be the very early hours just after sunrise or late into the evening, but we have had some sun nearly everyday. You just have to be prepared to sunbathe with an umbrella in one hand...

here on the East coast of Scotland its alot dryer than the west,(usually)though this year has been a tad damp to say the least!
well down here in the midlands we had 43 days before there was a day that a single bit of rain didnt fall...was horrendous my firewood stash got soaked because the roof couldn't take it

We had a scorching week in Dorset two weeks ago. Then the weather turned and I went offshore
It was lucky for me as I had a camping trip planned with the lads and a week of activities.
This summer has been awful though. Hopefully it will be better next year.

Worst summer I have experienced in my existance . Still having said that the winter before last was ccccccold.
Skirted around the rain yesterday lunchtime. You could see the rain approaching, one second Ben Lomond was there next it was like the film the fog.
Glasgow was grey on saturday night monsoon conditions at the concert hall, yet dry in the Trossachs a mere 30min drive away. Was good to see Gotham city got snow too.

believe it or not, in our back garden on Saturday lunchtime ( south facing and very sheltered ) it was 36 degrees in direct sunlight it sometimes gets too hot to sit out there, and this in NI !!

Were you nibbling on yello man robbi, fond memories of belfast lough when the mist cleared to rain then scorching sunshine.
On the other hand, this was the end of May this year. A serious sunny spell, sunburn and all.
