The cooler breeze is refreshing and the rain was needed.

I lived in the tropics for several years and the thing I missed the most were the beautiful seasons. When its just boiling and sweaty 24/7 you long for crisp autumn days and hot chocolate in front of the fire.
This thread must have crept into my unconscious, I dreamt last night it was late autumn and I had a stinking cold 😂

As we have had such a fabulous summer, I am able totally take the autumn weather with good grace and enjoy the crisp mornings.

Not so keen on the rain though… after 4-5 months of ‘let’s go outside’ as the default activity, having to consider the weather again is a bit annoying.

I love our seasons, I love hot sunny weather, but I love Autumn and feel it's just about time for a change.

However this week I was wondering if it was ever going to stop raining. Yesterday was lovely, I sat outside with my laptop with the warm Autumn sun on my face.

NuovaPilbeam · 06/09/2025 07:25

Yes I love it!!

devildeepbluesea · 06/09/2025 07:25

Nope. I loathe autumn. I feel like I’m just waiting it out between October and March until spring.

Bridgetoo · 06/09/2025 07:23

I enjoyed sunny evenings but hated the drought, so bad for the wildlife. Feels like normality has been restored now we've had proper rain.

TheDandyLion · 06/09/2025 07:22

I usually love September it's the best time for camping but not this year it's been a bit too rainy.

This Summer was too hot for me, I love the change in weather I can now enjoy my garden.

MyOtherProfile · 06/09/2025 07:14

I love the rain- only partly because I am truly middle aged and caught myself commenting to my DH how good it is for the garden. Can't beat a good slosh through the park with wellies and raincoat on.

TheGrimSmile · 06/09/2025 05:16

Yes, I love it.

coxesorangepippin · 06/09/2025 02:43

Enjoying it, yes

XWKD · 06/09/2025 02:38

I love it, but I've been a bit shivery with a mild ear infection.

TooBigForMyBoots · 06/09/2025 02:30

Proper difference between day and night. Proper temperatures. The light is interesting and the trees are amazing.

YANBU @zebrazoop.

Anononony · 06/09/2025 02:28

Na I'm cold, going to have to invest in heating oil next week!

The days are still mostly nice but needing a coat at night, and I've got out my oodie thing for the evenings (no heating atm until we get oil)

It's ok, but I prefer summer, I run cold! It does mean Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas are all approaching though, all of which I do love and am looking forward to

TheClaaaw · 06/09/2025 02:24

No.

I live on a small island in the far north west. Our highest temp this year was possibly 21c. Am I looking forward to months of bad weather and cancelled ferries? Autumn is certainly very brisk here. I would love for all the autumn lovers to come here with their stylish coats and boots for a weekend and see how others live

Sorry love the seasons, no desire to visit your area in autumn/winter!

You don’t sound very happy there.

Nothankyov · 06/09/2025 02:13

Glad I’m not in the Uk anymore! Love the summer 🤣

Gettingbysomehow · 06/09/2025 02:12

I love every minute of autumn. Apart from the spiders. Autumn and spring are my seasons when I feel the most well, mentally and physically.

narcASD · 06/09/2025 02:08

Yes I love it, it’s actually still quite warm here in the SE, we’ve had a long warm & dry summer and I’m glad to see the back of sleepless nights, constant sweating and feeling hot & bothered.
@kippersmummove?

Doingtheboxerbeat · 06/09/2025 01:53

I can honestly say I love all seasons but detest the rain. I have also just given up smoking 🤗 so I'm looking forward to not freezing my arse off outside when I need a gasper.
And sorry @kippersmum I do love my winter wardrobe 🫣.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 06/09/2025 01:48

No, we cancelled our holiday due to illness, I feel like I missed summer this year.

lovemyaussie · 06/09/2025 01:44

My dog is loving it - her enthusiasm on her walks is contagious!

ninjahamster · 06/09/2025 01:36

Oh yes. Window open. Cool breeze. Leggings.

mondaytosunday · 06/09/2025 01:29

Oooo yes! Love that I can now use my duvet and no more energy zapping heat! Autumn is my favourite time of year.
