To echo other comments PERLOU, thank you for your updates and it is good to hear you are safe and sound :)
Here in NW England, the switch from 'Summer' to Autumn took a few days at most. It actually felt as though the seasons couldn't wait to change. Even though the plants seem to be unsure of whether to keep growing or wind down.. It may be because we have had a patchy 'Indian summer' where in the sunshine, it is strangely hot. Whereas the shade and wind are northerly feeling for sure.
From the weak summer with 20-24C with 60% humidity to our indian summer/autumn with a max 17C.
Same changes in extremes here too: the mornings can be chilly (6-10C) so i've been wearing many layers, but once in the sun or by the afternoon, it can become quite unbearable with all the layers! Which reminds me of the Sott article where in Scotland they had the hottest AND coldest day.
It hasn't been that rainy - yay - which made the Sink hole in St Albans less easy to explain away - i was talking about it with someone today.
Today is way overcast but Friday and over the weekend i was able to sit quite comfortably for 2 hours on two seperate days in the heat of the sunlight and read - wow ;) added: but i initially sat in my BIG winter coat for 15 minutes because it was fresh.
