Are grey skies good?

[Nikey]

I am trying to make myself feel better about not seeing those lovely vivid colours down under by thinking of the positives of grey skies.  Any additions appreciated.  Here are mine...<br>You can be out all day and not worry about getting burnt (eerrm, I seem to only have one!)

Grey skies stop the grass from burning yellow...

You can't beat a beautiful blue sky, especially when there isn't a cloud in sight.

 

I also find gazing at the stars at night so relaxing, i used to 'star gaze' in Abersoch, Wales, as it always seemed better there than where i lived in the UK,lol. The stars here are fantastic though, there can be sooo many of them and they are so clear to see.

The problem with the grey skies in the UK of which we get a lot. Is that it is usually coupled with the temperature not being so high and everyone I know gets fed up with this type of weather and as soon as the sun appears, which apart from this year is rare, nearly everyone seems happier and there seems to be a feel good factor around all of a sudden.

I liked grey skies when young felt more homely, than the fairly constant blue skies of OZ. After some years of course tired of the greyness and longed for blue ones again. Now would prefer blue skies and crisp weather more akin to Europe.

Do like a tropical sky at night though.....

Talking of tropical skies - we have had some really good thunder storms lately

It has been really nice actually, perfect and today is white cloud but a perfect temperature. No complaint at the mo but I am in a panic because we only have a few more weeks left :-o

The only time I want to see a grey sky is on a stinking hot summers day when cloud cover brings relief..the rest of the time its blue all the way. Everything feels better and looks brighter in sunshine. It's the big difference for me between the UK and Perth. Works for me.

Yup - agree. It is a really big thing which seems silly but it is. A friend from oz came over in May and said everything looks so grey....I know what he means.

I'm a blue sky, no grey or cloud kinda girl, that's why I chose WA

And the smell in the air? probably the eucalypts

Blue crystal clear days. Poms in Blighty wouldn't understand

You can probably tell by my moniker that I find nothing good to say about grey skies. It is the winter grey skies that are worst, often not seeing a glimpse of sunlight for days on end.
