Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Been raining here nonstop for a week now and currently the thunderstorm is nuts. I could work on my car at night given the amount of light from the lightning strikes all around here. Zorral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Its going to be 25 degrees and sunny all day this weekend, which is insane for the UK in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 It's been kind of breezy here and also at a temperate temperature. There are times when it's still a little hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlyaP Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Asking in here in the hopes that Australians (lookin' at you, @karaddin) can tell me: when the fuck do the koel birds leave Australia? I haven't had a proper night's sleep since late August and I'm so completely over this obnoxious species and their awful, ear-piercing song.

Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 It was a little windy last night but we survived. There's tons of clouds today and it's chilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkerX Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 snow today, supposed to be turning to rain later on. Thus far, a pretty much dead average Autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Beautiful string of days, today particularly, with its high of 70 degrees. This changes over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 We've had shorts and t-shirt weather (25+ºC) on Saturday, followed by Sunday when temperature dropped so low (to around 10ºC) our citywide central heating system had to be turned on. Now we'll have a couple of cold days and then back to 25-30ºC. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are down to single digits at night and mid teens during the day. The city hasn't had a hard frost yet, but an hour north of the city most places have had their frosts. The sad thing is the grey days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The heat got turned on in our building for the first time since April-May. It still feels too early for that, but lordessa, with the non-stop rain this weekend and temps staying in the 50's, and down at night into the 40's, I can't say I'm sad about the heat this morning!

LongRider Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Lovey day so far, mid 60s, no wind, humidity OK, and air quality good. Took a lovely walk, perfect conditions. Zorral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally, in Serbia we get a "preview" of autumn near the end of September, with another break of warm weather around middle of October and then the "real" autumn starts, with wind and the rain becoming more and more frequent. We've had hot Octobers before, it's the sudden changes in temperature that are insane. We'll have 25-30ºC then down to 6ºC (that's what we've had this morning, will get to 10-15ºC during the day) and back up to 25-30ºC within 5 days.

Here in North America we call the return of the warmth in autumn “Indian summer”. It’s said it’s not a real Indian summer unless it happens after there’s been that first hard frost that I mentioned. The origin of the phrase apparently relates to the fact that Europeans associated it with the areas of North America where indigenous people lived. When I was a kid, we thought it related to the phrase “Indian giver”, a slur meaning someone who gave a gift and took it back, the warm weather being a gift after the cold that didn’t last. Native people considered gifts to be very important, and could demand their return if the person who got the gift did something dishonorable. To Europeans, a gift was a gift and you didn’t ask for it back, hence the slur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 It rained for a while here in cute little KS and I wore a turtleneck sweater from Old Navy and some green skinny jeans for some of the time, a grey mini skirt for some time, and some Champion sweatpants for the rest. It was chilly, so I was thinking, "I'm a little solemn today for real". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Raining, for the 8th weekend in a row. Though yesterday was a beautiful, sunny 80 degree, "Indian Summer" day -- and now that's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Still having sunny 20+ºC weather over here. It's just gonna make the inevitable upcoming windy and rainy slog that much more difficult to bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Winter came early this year. Woke up to a few inches of snow. It will all melt in a day or two as it's suppose to get back up to 50 degrees, but yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 It’s been perfect pinterest autumn for the past couple days and it’s perfect Pinterest halloween weather today. It’s been dark, cloudy, rainy with some thunder in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Classic Halloween weather, overcast, chilly, a bit of wind. But instead of witches flying overhead on their brooms, we have fleets of helicopters. Ongoing demonstrations, and the massive annual Halloween Parade, that brings tens and tens and tens of thousands here I got groceries and etc. early this morning. Already streets were cordoned off. The party for the very littles in the neighborhood playground was filled with adorables in their costumes -- got a big delight from watching them on the way back from the library to send off and say farewell to Partner, departing for the airport and 18 days in Spain.
