South London here.
The current weather seems to switch daily from massive monsoon style downpours and being so warm people are out in shorts, t-shirts and flip flops.
It's not very autumny at all.

Me too. I am in Australia. I’ve adjusted to a warm/hot Christmas but October and Halloween are supposed to be autumnal, not spring.

Clouds, rain, spiders and a mouse in the kitchen you're really not missing much!

We don’t often get that; though. It’s so romanticised.

It’s usually just cold, rain, dark and spiders. There’s very few crisp, sunny days; the leaves aren’t colourful because they’ve turned to mush on the floor and nobody is skipping around with a PSL.

I’d take Southern Europe any day!

It's been raining since October last year in West Country. Only stopped for 2,5 months before starting again in August. Which sunny days you speak of?

AnneLovesGilbert · 10/10/2024 11:12

It’s rained almost constantly for weeks, loads of places have flooded, it’s cold and dark early. I’m a big autumn fan but this year isn’t my favourite, it’s not easy battling this much rain and incessant fucking mud with small children.

If it ever stops I’ll kick some crunchy leaves for you on a crisp clear day but for now you don’t have much to envy!

It does look beautiful when it’s a clear sunny day, but most of the time autumn in the uk is just a lot of rain and a lot of house spiders.

Why, has autumn been cancelled in the UK?

Yes that was the vibe I got from the title 😂

You're not missing out on anything love. Been raining for weeks around here in my neck of the woods and the sun is no where to be found.
