or is ir just here?

We've had 2 frosts in the last week, there's that proper 'back to school' feel to the mornings and when it's not unseasonably cold ... it's lashing it down

Pretty wet and windy here, but no gales yet so not October...

Pretty warm here, not cracking the flags but decent enough - borderline t-shirt weather for a non-Geordie. Cath wanted the windows opening last night due to the heat.

ANOTHER long winter here in Wigan ..... Again

Been cold, wet and windy too, but it is supposed to be winter here at the moment...!

Feels like August. A bit wet today but 18C.

A photo from this time last year was of my car windscreen, hav8ng had to scrape ice off it.

My lunchtime cafe is doing soup again so yes

I'm in the Lakes on hols. 2 days of sunshine so lots of outdoorsy things (kids first Lakeland fell (or Peak in general) and cycling), but today was very wet!

Also on holiday but in Pembrokeshire. 2 days of good weather but yeah today it slashed it down. Kids went off horse riding with their mum and got soaked. I stayed inside.

Had the heating on last one night last week! Only an hour but certainly took the chill off! Oh to be fat and save on the heating bill

Nah, it's gone 9pm and I haven't had to put the lights on (yet). It'd be dark for a couple of hours now if it was October...

Its Autgust..
Come september when the jet stream moves again it will be back to Indian Summer or whatever we call out of season summer temperatures..

Got sunburn in aviemore yesterday.....

25th August 2017, that's when summer will restart. I finish my job, have a week off before the new one and will be in Devon with the ECR.....oh yes summer will return on the 25th

Still mostly sunny and warm down here in Torbay. Riding in bib shorts and short sleeved jersey morning and evening no problem.

Add to that the fact that I can walk unaided and my backside isn't sore tells me I haven't just ridden the BB200, so it can't be October yet!

The wind changed direction a few days ago bringing in cooler, less humid air from the Pyrenees. It's a fresh 27°c today but has been in the mid 30's, we were at a beach party last night where the whole village decamps to the seaside 10km away to dance the night away. We took our camper down so we could both have a drink and rolled into bed at 4.00am when the youngster's disco started!! Tonight there's a dinner of mussels followed by fireworks.
We're just planning our viewing of the Vuelta a España which start on Saturday, this stage is top of the list.

So it's not quite Autumn yet.

Seen on todays ride. Sign that autumn is on the way

last week the temp hit 42c on one ride, this week seems lots cooler.

Although I'm sure the fact I was 900 miles further south then has little to do with it

I was slightly worried that you might be 'grounded'

Definitely more autumny than a couple of weeks ago, you notice the evenings drawing in quicker and the chill in the air on the morning. I'll soon be needing lights on my commute again.

No but she doesn't know yet that the bank holiday weekend will be taken in the Yorkshire dales

I smelt snow in the air at home (Emmental, Switzerland) last week and got that autumn feeling. We got some snow above 2300 m. But now it's back to full on summer.

What does snow smell like?
Wouldn't be cheese by any chance?
