This time last week I was sweating like a mad dog with temps up to 31c.
Today just managed 15c, goose pimples and cold !

Lending credence to the way that the phases run if only you had the
eyes to see it.

It never happens that a hot spell of such duration gives way to some
pretty nice weather, though it did seem for a moment it was about to go
out to some light rain.

Vvirtually always for as far as I can recall, heatwaves give way to
weather that is a complete reversal.

I was sitting under a pine yesterday having lunch in the van when the
gusts brought down clumps of needles. The pinecone harvest was
scattered all around me in the hot weather a week or so back. I was
quite suprised that pines shed all the needles they are going to shed,
all in one go.

I thought it was a few here and there the way that animals shed hair.
But it was more cataclysmic than deciduous trees -which you notice
turning and can tell by the colours when they will fall.

This morning there was a thick carpet of needles everywhere. And I was
not dressed for the weather AT ALL.

15 C luxury ... try the east coast here (East Yorkshire) where 10 C was
today's max

Your'e right there Joe, very overcast and coolish here in Sydenham SE
London.
Why it even seems to be darker much earlier tonight due to the heavy cloud
cover.

It's fantastic.

Room temperature is now 'normal' and very comfortable

Anyone wishing for the return of that sort of heat, must be glutton for
punishment

Outside it's cool, windy, with brooding overcast skies, that give a
feel for 'end of the world'

I knew people would use "Autumn" comments.

Not really. It's only a return to a normal English summer.

People had become used to the unusually hot conditions.

So therefore, temps back into the 60's - feel colder

I wonder if the trees feel the same way about it. I had considered
looking at tree ring data to see if there is a cylcle involved but you
have to wade through stuff like this:

As if the search button wasn't hard enough:

So is this is a good year for trees? All trees?

Or a bad one?

(I take it the constant that the better the weather the fatter the ring
is still true? It wasn't the wrong way around as some idiots forgot to
check that in good weather the trees are under pressure to produce or
something equally unexpected?)

Not autumn more like a normal summer. My max yesterday was 19.5C which is still
1 degC above normal for me.
Breezy this morning (3/8) on the moor with drizzle. Not to worry, the gorgeous
warm sunny weather has not gone away for good, but hopefully not the 30-35C
which a lot of you had to endure recently.

I'll be back :-)

The mid 60s in high summer are perfectly normal for these parts. 70s is very
warm, and 80s is very hot, 90s are very rare.

I suppose it depends where you mean by England, but I doubt such
conditions are typical for most of the country! Perhaps the Lake
District or the Pennines, but nowhere else...
