Anybody else looking forward to the autumn?

A mate of mine lived near Albuquerque in New Mexico, he reckoned it had the best weather of anywhere he'd ever, lived 100 degrees most days and a frost most nights. Mind you he now lives in Rubyvale in the Australian 'Gemfields'......................too hot there.

Edinburgh doesn't have summers. We often have nice weather in May, and nice weather in September, but the months in between are usually awful. This year has been particularly so. I noticed the berries on the rowan trees for the first time this week, cheered me to think that crisp misty mornings and autumn colours aren't far away now. Can't come soon enough.

The seasons are the best thing about British weather. Just get hot down here although it's cooler right now as it's the rainy season.

Nope, long may the warm, dry, light days last.

Cold, wet, dark plus slippery leaf muck all over the roads, rubbish

Hmmmm I don't mind Autumn but I wouldn't say we've had a hot summer. There's been a couple of nice days that's all. It's just because you've had a pap time. Winter sucks and loads of folk get SAD.

I used to dread hot weather when i was doing drieways and gardens..just bloody hard work made very hard.
Now i dont mind so much as i can enjoy it with my new job..
That said i love Autumn ,all the colours and the temps are perfect for work and a few hrs in the saddle

Oh c'mon!!! Summer hasn't even started yet up here.

I love Autumn but am enjoying the summer months too much at the mo. Ask me again mid September

I feckin' hate cold wet weather!

That's a typical English summer.

In Leicestershire ? You must be joking. I look at the forecast for down south and weep. Most days you chaps are basking in it compared to here.

I do fondly recall Shetland, where 14 or 15C was a roasting summers day. Probably why my blood is so thick and gloopy.

Is the weather oppressively hot in Ghana? And is the rainy season a real deluge all day, or just occasional showers?

During the hotter parts of the year it's usually in the mid thirties but it's a dry heat unlike some parts of the Far East where the humidity is high. As we're near the sea it never feels that hot as there's always a breeze. There's a hilly area called Aburi not far from me where the climate is quite different, it's much cooler. If you have money that's where you aim to have a house, Kofi Anan lives there so does Rita Marley.
In the rainy season it can be torrential but usually doesn't last for long but there are occasional showers too.

I love cycling in short sleeves, beers and bbqs in the garden, swimming twice a week in the sea, fresh soft fruit,
Why would you want wet, grey, windy, dark weather?

Summer ????? We had summer the first Thu in April , that's the rumour
