How's the weather?

Typhoon #10 nearing.

Humid as a jungle, overcast with sudden downpours.

Roll on October.

Good luck with the 2020 Olympics.

Good day for a walk on that Tokyo Bay bridge then..

Lovely late Summer's day starting up here in the SW. Good garden clearing conditions !

It's all right for some.

Did that bridge crossing in the spring. The views were spectacular and the ' no fishing' signs are still there.

Hit that moment in the last couple of days when summer turns to autumn. So wet and overcast on Friday that it was dark by 8 pm. Woke up very early on Saturday and it was still dark at 6 a.m. More to the point, a slight chill in the morning and evening making me think I'll need the central heating soon. Although today looks like it's going to be be glorious. 

Always find this a bittersweet time of year - the end of summer, the prospect of gloom and bad weather to come; yet the darker nights have their own magic. Music always sounds better at night. 

Time to get out Roy Harper's 'When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease' - evokes this time of year like nothing else I know:

Good to hear - one day I will finally do that bridge walk (assuming that I can find the entrance). 

Weather here was great this afternoon. With added bonus that I was able to harvest the first tranche of local blackberries.

No need for central heating for at least another month here !

Yes, summer returned with a vengeance today. Though I'm expecting it to chill very rapidly this evening.

The most San Francisco summer — just one day in 70s in August

[kinuta]

Rain, cloudy and sauna humid.

The newest typhoon has passed by well out to sea.

Hopefully we can enjoy some fine weather for a while, at least until the next typhoon.

Nice bit of British grumpiness here:

Good riddance to summer, a thoroughly un-British season

We want our gloom back. 

[sidewinder]

No complaints from me. Another glorious day down here, in a late Summer 'Miles Davis IOW 1970' sort of way. Doesn't get much better !

[A Lark Ascending]

No, lovely today. 

[kinuta]

Here we go again.

Typhoon # 13 heading this way. Heavily overcast, raining and extremely humid.

[fasstrack]

Finally seasonably cooler in NYC. Finally...

[A Lark Ascending]

So cold on Sunday the central heating went on. Warmed up over the last two days and it's off again. 

[fasstrack]

Horribly hot and balmy again in NYC. Endless summer...

[Tom 1960]

Low 90's today in southern Maine.

[kinuta]

Typhoon deluge. At least it's cooled down.

[A Lark Ascending]

Supposed to be the hottest day since the end of the last ice age in Britain today. Skies are clear at 7.00 a.m.

[fasstrack]

Low 70s in NYC. Window open, AC off, cool breeze wafting in .

The nicest thing about September is that right on its heels comes my favorite month, November...

Yeah.  I wish it had been this nice on Friday/Saturday (my "weekend").  But I'm only here another two weeks.  Then, back again, January-February.  And if it's anything like last January-February, I'd better enjoy this while I can.

Heavily overcast and cooler at 27C. Very humid but no rain as yet.

[A Lark Ascending]

Heatwave as predicted ("Hottest day since...." "Margate hotter than Mars" etc). First time this year I recall it being hot without wind or clouds so you didn't get the usual British thing of enjoying the heat of the sun and then getting suddenly chilly as it disappears behind a cloud.

Well it's alright for some. Here in West Cornwall there was no sun all day, on and off drizzle and then, in the evening, a torrential downpour with thunder, lightning etc. This storm was repeated at 3am this morning, only worse. Good job I'm moving to the balmy paradise of Devon next week.

[A Lark Ascending]

Where you going in Devon? 

Overcast here in the morning but cleared in the afternoon if a bit hazy. Still very hot.

Slightly further East - a bit of rain this morning but lovely conditions for the rest of the day. Just back from a stroll and a pint at Stourhead with owls hooting as a backdrop !
