....that's more than a "few hours" i actually think warm weather is underestimated in this country we don't see much wall to wall sun but a lot of the time the weather is better and warmer than people think, only from nov to mid march is when it is cold or chilly during the daytime really, though northerners might disagree
For sure - the season of proper darkness and cold is over in the blink of an eye, yet many on here moan and wail about summer not lasting long enough. Sheesh - I don't know how they've got the cheek! It's the same with those folk who exclaim "it's raining again", when in reality it hasn't rained for weeks. Imagine if it really rained for weeks on end without a glimmer of sun, regularly? I'd love that and be laughing all the way, whilst most everyone else would be on medication.

I'm really liking this weather at the moment. Cool misty, mornings and not too warm days. Nice.
It's getting there, but tedium is starting to set in.What I'd really like to see right now is a good ol' rain and wind storm.

Absolutely foul day. Rain and 12C as the worst run of weekends I have ever endured keeps on going. This is the 14th in a row with rain
Horrid first week of September as well. Worse than any week of August, beating 2011 as the dullest I have recorded with only 22.9 hours sun and over half of that was recorded on Tuesday. The worst start to September since at least 2001. It has been a nauseating mix of anticyclonic gloom and rain with 12mm over the past few days.
It's alright for some, innit?

I think autumn 2014 has gotten off to a great start.
It's started like a bag of crap and way more akin to the season where this sort of rubbish belongs - the summer just gone.

No offence but why is still a summer thread and its not even summer any more?
Been wondering the same thing for oh, six days now. If we're squabbling about when summer ends, can we assume that this thread will be officially put to rest on Sept 21st or at the very latest Sept 23rd (equinox)? Great - we can concentrate on the serious business of winter then. And why the hell is September such a tedious month, weatherwise....?

Not a cloud in the sky all day here and a nice high of 23c. Same tomorrow and Sat except maxes go to 26-27c. Perfect stuff!
Ye whatever. Absolutely bleedin' awful.

What trees shed their leaves the first?
I'd say Silver Birch - or the first to start shedding them anyway.

I can't believe we're having a discussion revolving around musty stenches - good grief.
Seeing as summer's gone, let's change the title to 'favourite European blue cheeses'. Mine's Dolcelatte.

crikey, steve murr the other week said on the md thread that a warm sunny day in september didnt make it a summers day but a 'warm autumn one'... go argue with him if you disagree.
Didn't see that as I very rarely visit that madhouse but by jingo he's right. How anyone fails to see it like that, I don't know. So when is the plug gonna be pulled on this thread?!

What?
So two days ago, it was Summer. And suddenly as soon as it hits September 1st, it's Autumn?.
This really annoys me. I'm afraid the seasons don't work like that. Seasons don't work on calendar dates and you can get Summer weather extending right through until October in some years.
Look, let's have less of this nonsense - it's Autumn whether you like it or not. It wouldn't matter a jot if it was 30C and felt like mid-July. Would you put Xmas decorations up at that time of year and declare it to be Xmas because it feels like it? We could call any season whatever we liked if we were experiencing unseasonal conditions at any given time. So it's now Autumn - stop banging on about Summer, unless it's in the past tense - it's gone.

Exactly maybe we should ban any talk about winter and snow on 1st March...that will go down a treat on here.
That's fine by me - I'll have given up on winter by then, there's too much light and things are rapidly heading in the wrong direction. It's now technically autumn and things are, or should be heading in the right direction so let's have less of all this extended summer nonsense.

Why y'all still talking about summer? It's over. And this fake autumn ought to get real. Ye I know it's only the second day, but still...

And I suppose sea level is rising due to the non existent thermal expansion from the non existent ocean warming, and the extra non existent melt form the ice sheets due to the non existent atmospheric warming. Yep, the plot has certainly been lost somewhere long the line
The polar bears must be doin' alright now - time to move on to other 'victims'. And what became of my original post where I drew attention to the commentors of the article in question referring to humans as 'a virus' and a 'cancer', and that they should volunteer to test treatments ? Was it offensive or inflammatory in some way, or just a little too near the knuckle?
-
I'm in favour of it too. The extra hour in winter would be especially welcome, not pitch black by 16:30.
Yuk! Isn't everyone sick to the back teeth of it still being light at that time? I know I certainly am!

What a horrible end to a horrible summer. It's dragging on like a chronic illness.

you get sadder and sadder but hey ho it takes all sorts. Live and let live, unless neighbours are causing a genuine nuisance.
I'll take that as a compliment instead of getting all huffy and hitting the 'report' button, as some are inclined to do. Meanwhile I wish summer would do the decent thing and go away, and allow autumn to put paid to those dreadful, dreadful BBQs once and for all. Well, until the whole sorry cycle starts again in spring.

I can honestly say that these two comments are the most sterio-typical false statements iv ever heard , if you've never been to a BBQ then your not qualified to comment are you?
I've attended two, back in the days when I didn't know any better and non-appearance would have been awkward. Proper 'WTF am I doing here?' moments, never to be repeated despite who I might upset. Y'know how family and friends can get but stuff that. They'll get over it.

Yeah there's something quite satisfying about seeing idiots trying to hold a BBQ in the dark.
I don't think people know what a BBQ is these days anyway given everything is cooked on a portable gas oven disguised as a BBQ. May aswell just shove everything in the oven and transfer it outside, rather than paying exorbitant prices for the 'BBQ' and gas cylinders.
BBQs are the domain of dozy guys who wouldn't normally be seen dead near a cooker, but they see the BBQ as some expression of manliness. I really don't get it - there's nothing to be proud about wandering around in a pinny, scorching the outside of a few sausages and poisoning everyone in attendance and getting leathered on crappy supermarket lager, whilst stinking out the entire neighborhood. Anyways you know summer is on borrowed time when they start flogging off half price BBQs. They're at it already so that's an encouraging sign.

Many of us have been saying over the past couple of weeks that summer's not over yet. Can't say you weren't warned!
Ye I fully expected it to rear its ugly head again at some point - always happens, but this August did a particularly good job of making me believe that this year I might just get away with it. Ah well, I've still got the ever-darkening evenings as consolation....

.... the leaves do not start changing until October, and peak foliage occurs in November.
Really?? They're changing now, and it's only 5 days early to be championing autumn if you want to split hairs. The only 'peak' of foliage that occurs in November is on the ground, 'cos by then most trees have shed the lot.

Weve had enough warm Autumns for much of the last 20 yrs or so, so it kind of gets on my nerves to see people egging on the warmth now as we enter another autumn.
Ye they make me ill too, and I can't work 'em out anyway - like the England fans who continued to 'fly the flag' long after they'd been knocked out. Summer's had it's turn and been pretty good for those who like that sorta thing. I know we can't control the weather (try saying that on the climate change forum and you might get a ban) but the glorification of anything 'summery' at this juncture doesn't seem right at all, and is surely intended to annoy. With the leaves starting to fall it would be nice to have weather to match. Anything else is not necessarily 'wrong', just undesirable.

Is there anything you actually like apart from cold, dark, rainy days around the winter solstice?
They're the best, but the whole Nov - Feb period will do fine. Outside that I just wanna hibernate. Can feel the ol' sap rising right now tho'.
-
May I ask why you think it's a dud? If it's just a personal opinion or gut feeling, that's perfectly fine by me, it would just be helpful if you could have expanded on why you think so.
Neither - was just having a larf to temper my mild disappointment when the alert was lowered just as things were starting to get interesting!

Out of curiosity what irks you more, Laserguy - daylight or warmth? Is August "preferred" to June because of less daylight, despite normally being a warmer month?
There's little between them, but I'd say the light. Excessive warmth is bad enough but I don't moan during a mild winter - at least the dark is guaranteed!

Nope - I was resigned to watching those darn sarf cop for all the fun and games whilst we got mainly dry with sunny spells. Ye I know what's coming..
