    I agree, it certainly does feel colder.

    I can't believe how quickly the weather can change in this country now. Season's are either getting longer, or being missed out altogether. I don't get the feeling of Autumn at all now, just winter.

    Does anyone else feel the night's are pulling in too quick?

    Well, I had the heating on yesterday, but not today yet. I should think I will tonight.

    Heating on for half an hour yesterday evening, I'm sure this September is colder than last year.
    Last September I am certain that we were basking in temperatures of close to 30C. The summer arrived fairly late last year if I recall correctly.

    BBC weather says it is going to be 17C on Saturday and 16C on Friday with both days sunny. My browser weather toolbar concurs.
  • Fingers crossed, next week could be 20+C.....we can always live with the hope.......

    Still no for me, but since I posted a week ago I'm now wearing a jumper, don't have the windows wide open, and it's dropped down to 16C inside.

    In 2011 it reached 30C at the start of October, and it could be around 22C by Monday.

  • Yeah I've had to have the fire on numbers 1-2 as its freezing here. Also I have to wear a long sleeved jumper in the house and I've returned to thicker socks.

    It's about 18.3C in my lounge ATM definitely dropping but the external insulation seems to be doing a fantastic job.

    I don't think that it was only 2011. 2012 got to 29C in September and was over 20C for quite some time until the later part of the month. I hope it does warm back up next week. Looking back and there were some cool/cold spells over previous years in September.
