Just been walking round my gardens and it is really starting to look quite
autumnal. My mature sycamore tree now has a lot of leaves turning brown/yellow. Grass is slowing down growth and some of the shrubs in the deciduous border are losing their leaves. In the distance leaves on upper branches of trees have a brown tinge. Plenty of debris (twigs, small branches) after today's winds add to the autumnal feel as well as the temperature of 11C. Still with the earth temperatures some 2-3 deg C lower than last year it is perhaps not too surprising. Will. -- |

I have noticed a lot of trees are starting to show yellows and oranges here. and the bracken is rapidly turning brown (this usually happens in late September/ early October. I can't remember an earlier onset of autumn. -- Brian Wakem (Fleet) |

No sign here of the bracken turning (an unlikely north/south reversal) but the rowan in the garden has a mass of red berries and the silver birch are looking a bit tired .. -- Alan White Mozilla Firefox and Forte Agent.

My nettles are all dying off. I haven't noticed before when nettles normally do this, but I have such a fine crop here in such vast quantities that I can't fail to notice this year. -- Steve Loft Sanday, Orkney. 5m ASL http://sanday.org.uk/weather |

Never short of ingredients for a warm and nutritious soup then Steve ;-) (except, of course, when the nettles die off . . . . . . . .) |

With the distinct lack of summer this year, I didn't think I was looking forward to winter particularly much, but now it's got slightly colder, I'm kind of looking forward to it. Still personally going for a roaring westerly one, but there's no science behind that. Just feeling that the UK is due a sizeable blow in the near future! Richard |
