Will there be an autumn?

[HawkinsHollow]

Yep! GORGEOUS weekend! Seems like it is going to stick around for a bit. Last couple falls the heat and humidity didn't break until mid Oct. This Fall seems to be shaping up much better.

Leaves are turning here more likely because it's been way too dry for the last couple of months.

I知 glad you got a spring, we did not. One day does not make a season.

I致e lived everywhere and traveled to the places I have not lived, except Asia. No thanks.

When it痴 nice brother, it痴 nice. The pacific nw, imho, has the most perfect summers on the planet but, again, imho, the rest of the year is beyond miserable.

I知 just saying, things are changing, they always do.

I知 just whining about the changes.

Things in your part of the world going to brighten up soon, the leaves should start soon? Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall.

Last year Charlotte had twenty 90 degree days in September and the high temp for 2019 was recorded in October. September 2020 has been far different. Fall colors, even in the High Country are a ways off yet.

Boone, NC is about 60 miles NNW of us and 2400 feet higher in elevation. The elevation makes a substantial difference in climate twixt here and there.

We had a wonderful spring this year that lasted much longer than normal so we're hoping for a fall encore! Right now it is absolutely perfect weather.

Feels like fall here in N. FL.

Sept. use to be our dry month here in KY but no more. Last few years it has been rainy.
We are having some fine weather now. Some of the trees are starting to turn.

That could be a Covid 19 reaction.
We had a WONDERFUL spring in NE Mississippi, cool, balmy nights. CLEAR beautiful skies. No air pollution since no one was driving.

Our AVERAGE September rainfall is 3.5 inches. We got just about that in the last 2 days.

I used to be one of those flooding the backroads.
We'd take off at dawn from Burlington, drive down to Bennington, cut east to Brattleboro, up to I89/I91 and back to Burlington. LONG drive but memorable.

We usually do a foliage loop drive last Sunday in Sept...Lancaster to Colebrook then thru Dixville Notch to Errol (with an obligatory stop at LL Cote), down to Berlin, over to Whitefield then back home, usually with a stop at Gorham House of Pizza or the Chinese buffet (which I don't think has re-opened post-covid). Some years clockwise, others reversed. Foliage is beautiful this year! It's been so dry I didn't think it would be.

We've had 5 or 6 nights where we got frost...a couple of them into the low 20s, so the garden is pretty much done. If anything "fall" seemed to come a couple weeks early this year.
My favorite season, bar none.

Feels like fall here in N. FL.

Somehow, I don't associate Florida with fall.
An old childhood friend lives in the Sarasota area, one year I drove down to visit him (would have been mid-ish Oct). Called him the night before to let him know when I would be there, he told me it was nice & cool (I was in Ga. at the time, and it was hotter than you-know-where). Got there, it was in the mid 90s and muggy. Told him I thought he said it was cool, he said something to the effect that it was, had been "hot" the previous week. No thanks.

I’m seeing some nice pics of the Moosehead Lake region of Maine. We are a way off yet for color here.

Now were getting taste of summer again 80F now for the next 3 days. :confused3: send some rain our way need it badly.

 

[Oaktree]

send some rain our way need it badly.

I'll second that! Our well isn't dry, but the water level is only a couple inches above the pipe.

 

[Jstpssng]

We're getting some pretty good color here... I wasn't sure that we would, considering how dry it's been. Frost almost every night for the past week, which was fine with me as I finally laid my dismal garden to rest. I'm not even going to bother to put it under this fall... next spring I'm going to disc it along with the rest of the 2 acre field, then plant oats and buckwheat. This weekend I'm cutting a trail to a puckle of wood that I normally couldn't get to unless the ground was frozen.

 

[ArlyA]

Our colors might be at there max here in the UP of MI. We have had a few frosts and I can't say its far from a average fall.

 

[oosik]

Our weather was more than unusual this year. Smoke, ash, smut from from mid-August until mid-September. Temps were very cold because of this. Our few broadleaf trees turned golden around the end of August and the leaves began falling off.

Lack of fall rains and cold temps caused this condition.

 

[Frankenkubota]

Hard rain here last couple of days. A few beautiful days now back to rain rain rain. It rained for 8-10 hours yesterday, hard at times.

Went from 90s to 60s, now 70s and rain but....is there not any 80 degree days anymore.

That transition fro 90s to 60s used to be more gradual. Now, Some years it’s like a light switch, jury still out on this autumn.

Yeah we had a little over 6 inches in under 24 hours with 3 of them falling in under 2 hours. Washed the main water line out in 3 places.

What is autumn, if it's low humidity, cool nights, warm days, leaves changing color and fresh apple pie, then yeah we got that.......
