Page 4 | It feels like autumn!

I do see what you mean; I’m definitely feeling quite autumnal (but personally, I love that time of year so it’s not a negative for me). I’ll feel horribly unsettled if September is hot, as by that point I’m ready to just get the jumpers out, listen to moody music and have roast dinners!

I felt this in the last week of July tbh! I felt we had our summer in May / June. It’s not even so much the weather for me as we’ve had some lovely days since, but it felt like our summer was done early, certainly before the school summer holidays started.

Yes, same here. There’s been a chill in the air in the morning for a couple of weeks now. It’s such a shame, because August is meant to be the hottest month!

And it’s only August 😩 I’m quite sick of this weather to be honest

mid summer is 21st June

taxidriver · 03/08/2025 07:11

this is very normal for August,

Mumjaro · 03/08/2025 07:10

We had a scorching couple of months so had a good summer IMO. I LOVE autumn and rainy days so I am happy 😁

pennypans · 03/08/2025 07:07

I have been wearing a jumper as it's cloudy & about 22 ish here. I prefer 25/26 clear skies but it's warming up on next week.

My last few perfume purchases have been autumnal and I've had a few hot chocolates so definitely feels like autumn. Just wish the bloody flies would fuck off

Funny you should say about flies as yesterday they kept appearing in the house and the windows and door hadn't been open for long. I was worried there was a nest somewhere as they're the same type. It wasn't even that warm yesterday and we weren't cooking anything to make them come in.

Maybe i need to move up north! The warmest we have in the next two weeks is 25, sitting closer to 20-21. It’s so depressing

I see a lot of posts, like yours, on here which are based on unrealistic expectations about the weather.

If you live or are on holiday around Dartmoor, average summer temperatures are 16 to 20 degrees.

The UK is essentially a cool wet climate. The fact that most people regularly travel abroad to warmer places does not change this.

I much preferred when it was 30 degrees outside each day 😂😂😂

What country is that and when is Spring? In the UK Spring is March, April, May. Summer June July August,. Autumn September October November and Wintetr is December January February.

It used to be but I reckon now it's summer May June July, autumn August September October, winter November December January February (that extra month is a bummer but November is winter because it's so bloody dark) and spring is March and April.

Not round here. I don't think DC have ever started the school year in full winter uniform. Always summer dresses and shorts for at least the first 2-3 weeks as it doesn't really turn Autumnal till nearly October.

I've seen people complain about what they perceive as a poor summer before when it's been wetter and cooler than they hoped but this is the first year I've seen anyone claim the actual seasons are changing early.

Show quote history

To be fair, it has felt autumnal where I live for the last week.

We enjoyed a pleasant 21 degrees yesterday, but the sun didn't come out until mid afternoon.

We have much needed rain today and tomorrow then brighter weather after that with maximum temperatures of 20 degrees which is jeans/trousers weather for me.

This is my ideal summer temperature and is more normal for England, anyway. This is what we are experiencing in the East Midlands and is far preferable to the sticky, humid 30° heat of a few weeks ago, especially as I have extremely fair, easily sunburnt skin and have to be very careful.

riversflows · 03/08/2025 03:27

Yes it’s feeling like fall in the morning and evening bring it on

Brendahollowayreconsider · 03/08/2025 03:18

Not in NE Scotland
Our inside temp 26.
Outside at 3am 16

TianasFlight · 03/08/2025 01:47

After two weeks in Florida I'll happily take the current UK weather. It's 9pm and 30 degrees currently.

I was talking about how the weather is not how it's supposed to be.

Dillydollydingdong · 02/08/2025 23:49

No it doesn't. It's lovely. When it gets too hot we'll moan again

lorn195 · 02/08/2025 23:43

Definitely not autumnal in Cornwall. I have worn shorts and T-shirts all day and it’s a glorious 22 deg C.

On the other hand DS2 who’s currently in the US has been used to 27 deg - 31 deg C sent us photo of himself wearing a hoodie and gilet as he’s cold. The current temperature out there is 22 deg C 🤣

It felt autumnal here this morning. Damp, cool, that petrichor smell. Lots of conkers and berries on the trees and the wildflowers have all gone to seed.

DappledThings · 02/08/2025 23:24

WhySoManySocks · 02/08/2025 23:11

Agreed.

Summer these days seems to be mid April to mid July. From then on it’s Autumn, never mind what the calendar says.

Drivingthevengabus · 02/08/2025 23:17

When I took the dog out earlier about 6:30pm there was a definite autumnal smell to the fields and a the air was much cooler. I'm sad about that. School has only broken up for 2 weeks. I'd like it a bit warmer. Or I think the school holidays should be earlier in England as the best/hottest weather tends to be June and July.

I walked to town along the seafront today, a couple of miles, in a cotton sundress and sandals, it's been around 24 today not too hot , slight breeze, but definitely not autumnal!
