I will let you know when it appears near us.....not yet although there was snow on the Arran hill until May this year.

Not sure the weather appreciates it's only supposed to be Autumn.

My heating comes on first thing, but we resisted putting it on later.

[Hurdity]

Haha Taz - I thought you might like the meteorological dates because you want it to be autumn already! However using these definitions we get to spring earlier 

I prefer the traditional view of the seasons which uses the equinoxes and solstices to mark the dates so these are approximately September 21st December 21st March 21st    June 21st  !!

So folks - it's not autumn yet whatever the weather    - even though the met office stats like to use whole months !!!!!!!!

No - I hate the thought that in June I'm still only in Spring!  I do pop to Avebury on some of the Solstice days as it's a great atmosphere but still don't understand how the longest day is the start of Summer and the shortest day is the start of Winter. I love the 21st June but really don't like the 21st December whereas, I suppose, you like the 21st December but not so keen on the 21st June! I guess it's only around three weeks difference.  I think that I'll use both astronomical and meteorological that way I get the best of both worlds!

Never sure why they do that, but hey ho. Technically it's still summer, though we seem to have missed that up here in the north east.

Still freezing, sun's out & feels like temperature is 9° Supposed to be getting warmer according to met office, however when you add in the wind chill here........... Seems to be all one season nowadays.  Of course my requests to move to warmer climes has fallen on deaf ears.

Cold,dull,miserable

Sunny blue sky and going to sit out 🌞

[Limpy]

Grey skies but dry & calm

[Taz2]

Sun and clear skies. I love it this time of year - September sun is so much nicer than July/August sun somehow.

After a dreary, damp week it suddenly changed at lunchtime today and I'm outside in brilliant sunshine and its 23c.

[Taz2]

Wow! Penny! Welcome back !

Lovely warmish day....now it's getting dark the temperature is falling rapidly.

It got down to 1 degree last night.

Don't care what anyone says.....in Scotland it's Autumn already.

Ladies in the south should remember seasons are a wee bit different up here. After all we are over 500 miles from London so...Autumn arrives earlier.

Ask any gardener.....Monty where are you

It's getting quite chilly at nights here too. I took washing in at teatime & it was very chilly & I'm further north than HB. Ah the nights are fair drawing in. 

[CLKD]

It was autumnal at 6.00 a.m.  - gentle sunshine with mist floating above the ground.  Chilly too.  Equinox fall on the 21st of the appropriate months 

Hate the nights pulling in and mornings being darker 

[Taz2]

I love the nights drawing in and the darker  mornings. I like to be up before it's light but in the summer it's just too early to do that. There's still a while to go though before it's dark still at 6.30.
