Autumn

[Crackle]

I realise it was Autumn when I looked out of our bedroom window today.

I know it is Autumn but I always regard now as Winter already. I like to think of Spring starting after 21st December as the Earth starts to tilt the Northern hemisphere nearer the sun. Autumn for me starts after Midsummer's day and we are heading towards shorter days again. Winter for me starts after the autumn equinox. Summer after the Spring equinox. So I am a season early compared to the official dates.
For me it seems to make the Winter go faster. I perk up once 21st December has gone.
I never turn my central heating off but rely on the room thermostat(s), so it goes off when it is warm anyway.

You obviously weren't around for the "Spring" of 1963, then ...?

Nick, you're obviously in the Northern Hemisphere if it's Autumn at your QTH, but 28 C (about 82F)!! Hotter than most of our summer in the UK, though the humidity must make it uncomfortable!
Terry, I remember the 'spring' of '63 only too well, being involved in an accident on the way to work ine morning in early January that year, then not being able to get towork in the neighbouring town of Witney for some weeks afterwards. Chipping Norton, where I live, was cut off by snow -some 'spring!!
John, I sometimes think tha Midsummer & Midwinter days should be what their names suggest i.e. halfway through the seasons concerned.

The sycamore's sparse remaining leaves are golden and the other trees by my back window are bare, so Autumn is well advanced here. Domestic heating is currently solely down to a fleet of Belling Champions, and I tend to think of my personal Autumn as starting when the first of them returns to service. That usually means the 250 watt No.79 beside my knees, and happens when I come down to a temperature far enough below 50F for me to notice, which was, oh, probably about six weeks ago. A No.2, 82A, 83A, 91A and 92A have all on occasions been awakened from their summer slumber since then.

24°57′N 55°20′E

Not very humid, really, considering we're right by the sea - nice and balmy

Summer, OTOH, is lethal... July average is about 41C and peaks at 49C...

It is autumn, I know cos' I'm off. Be in Nick's area in a week, for a few hours at least, before going on to 10° 18' N, 123° 53' E  even warmer!
