People all over Scotland in my gardening group are reporting geese going south now. Wee bit early is it not?

Interesting, strong believer in more the geese heading south the worse the coming winter will be.

Haar and then low cloud for most of the day but it broke up for a while this afternoon. Max was 18c. 

[SW Saltire]

Cracker again, very humid with dewpoint just over 16c most of the day which made the 23.8c max feel far warmer.

Highest i’ve been since June due to work and then injury, hopefully get munros in from next month. Some view from Criffel (570m):

Brilliant start to Autumn so far with plenty of sunshine and temps into the mid twenties. Tomorrow looks hot again, maybe slightly warmer than today here with the chance we get one of those showers or storms heading north tomorrow. Tomorrow feels like one of those days where "the weather man got it wrong" and everyone heads out to school and work without a jacket only to be soaked mid afternoon... We'll see I guess, should be pretty isolated..

Hazy sun broke through here this afternoon and the temp got up to 21C. I had gone up to Dunkeld for a walk up the Braan via the Hermitage and there it felt pretty warm in the sun so quite glad to be under trees for part of the time.

Fairly heavy shower and one roll of thunder 1110.

[NUT]

Any mist (and fog) all gone another lovely day! Just watching that small band of rain seems to be weakening tho

[SW Saltire]

Pretty hideous. 26.7c atm, dewpoint over 19c. Full cloud cover and RH still holding over 70%.  
 

Much preferred earlier in the week such as Monday when it was sunny, 22/23c with low humidity.

September hay currently 27c here very hot Seasons getting mixed up.

Haar then cloud all day, max near 19c. 

[mistyqueen]

I'm longing for some rain, just to clear the air a bit. Never thought I'd hear myself say those words on here!  There are some showers in the north of the island, but they seem to be missing out where I am. Och well, maybe tomorrow. Saturday looks like a better bet though, with a drop in temps too, so maybe get a decent night's sleep at some point over the next few days. Please, oh please.....!!

@NorthernlightsThat doesn't look too dissimilar to my garden following the first grass cut after nearly 6 weeks of not being cut over the summer (3 weeks away on holiday and over 2 weeks waiting for the lawn tractor to get a new fuel pump fitted after it cut on my first time starting it after the hols).

A high of 25.0C here but cloudier than yesterday, and like elsewhere, feeling muggy with it. Still currently 18.7C and dead calm out.

Just a few miles away the early mist/fog burnt away quickly and temps shot up to 23.5C in strong sunshine. By afternoon cloud moved back in with just occasional brief breaks.

[Dundeeguy]

Sunny skies and a glorious 26.4c , highest of the year 

[Mair Snaw]

Fooook me its hot... only one thing to do... BBQ and beer's...

[NUT]

My phone showing 27 here atm for September this is incredible really Surely last time this year gets that high ("not that it's happened much)! 

[Mair Snaw]

My phone app showed 29c at 3pm... that cant be right can it?? 2 days left after this and then its pish 15c and raining... much more like it..

Found a new drink to try in my local Homebargains and its good really good...

[A Winter's Tale]

Joint warmest day of the year at Glasgow airport with 28C - equalling warmest September temperature on the same day in 2021. After the very disappointing weather following the record breaking June this has been a very welcome last hurrah for summer. The past week would make for a decent warm spell in the middle of summer let alone September and it just shows what’s possible this late in the year. 

[Northernlights]

27c here too this afternoon. Very humid caught up with hay carting so siesta at 1.00pm just too hot outside

Got up to 26.6c here too so just beat the highest June temperature of 26C. Last time that September  had the highest annual temp for me was 1998 when  the 20th hit over 26C. 

[101_North]

What a cracking day? Thick haar burnt off before 9am here and has been beautiful ever since! Hit 27c early afternoon. Been a cracking week but due to work I've not seen much of it. Just a shame the sun's low enough now that the back garden misses it after about 6pm! 

[Ravelin]

Bloody roasting in school today, but on the other hand it was nice to end the working week sat outside with a couple of beers once I got home. Now sat inside with a brandy and the house is still way too warm. Still 17.4C outside l, at 9pm, in September!
