The summer is lost
In some regions of Russia, there is a joke: this summer was extraordinary — hot and sunny, and matched it aligned with the weekend ("it landed on the weekend" is a common phrase for the timing of events). I've been living in Saint-Petersburg for eight or nine years, but this is the first summer that perfectly matches this joke. It's constantly raining, the temperature is about 16-18 degrees, and it's windy and wet. I don't like too much heat but now I'd like to move to any region with sun, even to Africa!
We have weather jokes for my region, too:
"Don't like the weather? Wait five minutes (and it will change)."
"We have two seasons: winter and construction." (We have a short summer and long winter, so city construction projects must be done during the summer.)
