Has been in the low 80s today, England, late September.  un- :bowler:   :hmm:   :cool:

I was reading Byron's "Beppo" today, and it made me think of this thread:

I like the taxes, when they're not too many;
       I like a seacoal fire, when not too dear;
I like a beef-steak, too, as well as any;
       Have no objection to a pot of beer;
I like the weather,—when it is not rainy,
       That is, I like two months of every year.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

:D

But it's somewhat out of date, the climate here has changed and the day to day weather sometimes has a different texture.

In another decade or two I'm expecting to see a local farmer have a go at growing sunflowers.

Maize is already a feature of the bottom end of this valley, which is a bit odd for England or at least in the density of fields it's being planted.

The US seems to have settled into a strange temperature pattern this year:

Indeed. Air temperature usually doesn't conform to state lines.

We keep that light blue shit out Missouri.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ughh, October starts dark, humid, cloudy, and a little rainy. And unseasonably warm.

I'm not a fan.

Just kicked in here at the weekend, temperatures down to normal, which don't actually bother me, though we're getting a fair bit of rain.

Very mild for the time of year here, temperatures in the high 60s today and only when down to 60f overnight.  un-  :bowler:

Yesterday saw the hottest ever October 31st in several places across England, touching 23-24C in places, certainly over 70f here.   :cool:

Today saw a return to more autumnal temperatures, but still above average and t-shirt and jeans weather.  :bowler:

It's a chilly day for Florida; it's supposed to get down to 48 F / 9 C tonight. :o

It was a blustery day too; there were palm fronds all over on the roadways.  It's as close as we get to leaves coming down.
