Feeling distinctly Autumnal?

[Deleted member 1258]

Yep, bit chilly when I got out of the car this morning.

Yes I rode today in longs and a long sleeved jersey.

Nice here too!! But it's the drawing in of the nights that I'm noticing!!

Same here.

 

[hopless500]

Still warm though. Not shut the windows in weeks

I can't wait to retire to Spain.
Oh Bugger.....

I shivered my way through sititing at a football match on Tuesday evening. Felt more like November!

It was rather chilly this morning in Goring on Thames. This afternoon got a bit warmer thankfully. I rode out in short sleeves and shorts and climbed a few hills to keep warm.

I will be glad to get home to the beach where it's warmer.

Disagree
Not chilly at all.

For the time of year though. In August I'm used to (for that read Hope to) waking up warm and looking forward to the movement of air as I ride. I've had three mornings of that feeling so far this entire summer. the rest have been very bearable but far chillier than I'm expecting.

Agreed its definitely not summer oop here

Dull cool and drizzly almost all week here. I wouldn't mind but it's been humid too so I've been sweating out and getting wet from outside too, its not been my favourite week riding

No too bad here today, a touch damp.... Properly Baltic yesterday though, a few folk locally had frost on their grass and windscreens, down to minus 3 Celcius in parts

Not right for August!

Roasting here in Glasgow, but very wet.
I choose to get soaked today, had the waterproofs in my pannier but far too hot to wear them.

Is it just me, but there seems to be an unnervingly early whiff of Autumn in the air, the kind one experiences more in the first week or so of September.
Anyone else?

Edit: replaced August with September!!!!

Well, yes, it does feel fairly autumnal here, but then it is winter, so I guess that explains it.

Australia?

My niece spent a few months in Vietnam and Thailand and then flew to Australia a month or so back. She arrived in her summer clothes and promptly froze. So much for holiday planning!

She not only hadn't thought about it being winter, but also didn't realise that parts of Australia can get very chilly in winter ...

No drop in temps here...

This has been a very disappointing winter, nowhere near as cold as it should be. Instead of glorying in the fact that I have the shared paths to myself and I'm HAF , I've had to share it with all manner of numpties who may have all the expensive cycling gear, but just don't know how to use it.
