Autumn 2023

[GloriaSmud]

As we're a few weeks away from the start of meteorological autumn (1st September), some early thoughts here.

Checking in!

Although, looking at what we've had over the 'summer' and the prospects for autumn, we might not notice much difference!

[Bobsledgirl]

Is it not Autumn now??? Feels like it.

Met Office storm names released today.

However, we didn't start last years storm names until August.

I like Ciarán and Elin ~ Storm Stuart sounds like nightclub DJ!

Netweather's thoughts on the weekend and into next week.

Annoying hot spell incoming for Essex next week.

I think I’m ready for autumn now. If we could then just skip winter and go straight to spring that would be grand.

I so so love the weather threads. Whatever the weather. And I love the photos. <happy sigh>

[GonnaGetGoingReturns]

So humid still in SE London! Where’s the storm??!!

[MotherOfCatBoy]

Placemarking.
Autumn I can do but I dread Winter.

23 degrees indoors at 9pm at night... but it is dropping.
Looking forward to the cooler days and nights. Not looking forward to it being wet.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Alas! here we are! The season of mellow fruits, spiders, mists and maybe some windy storms. Though no signs of those yet.

We've had lovely rain in Essex so hopefully it's headed your way.

[Smoky1107]

Rain here, it is so nice and fresh

[BiddyPop]

There's a definite coolness to the air since yesterday - still very muggy but much cooler than it had been. And I've noticed the darker evenings really kick in this week.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Somewhere in Scotland has its first frost overnight last night. I wasn't very awake when the radio told me this, but I think it was Dalwhinnie.

I think you will find all the spiders have migrated to my house... I'm willing to post some to you for free

Cumbria here. We've had some early morning mists. There's a nip in the air this morning. Windows have condensation on them this morning for the first time in months. And the spiders are taking over!

One of the times I wish MN had a like button! This did make me smile on a rubbish Wednesday morning...........4 degrees here this morning (East Lancs) when it was 21 a week ago, somewhere in between would be nice but at least it's dry and sunny!!!!

ah, that made me smile. I will miss mists, I was in a high rise before and got some amazing views but no longer! Though I might find some walking spots for those, I guess.

Ok, back to the summer thread for the southerners. A brief blast of heat, perhaps approaching 30c this weekend. Thunderstorms once again a risk.

30?!

I'm seeing 26 for Saturday.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

26-27c seems more likely, but UKV reached 28c in the south east. Which is approaching 30.
