Here in Fulham it has been very windy and generally overcast especially this afternoon and like much of this week so far suppressed temperatures only got to 20 degrees at noon the rest of the week looks like continuing in this vein if anything cooler till Sunday

Can we have an autumn moaning thread now as summer seems to end in many northern parts around mod August most years? Yesterday’s cool-feeling damp and breezy day looks set to be followed by more autumnal conditions from tomorrow. We may reach 100 mm of rain this month here, but if not it will be close.

This time next week I'll be in The Algarve for 3 weeks of summer as opposed to the 3 days I have seen in the UK! As I'm retired, I'm heading out there more and more.
The Algarve (near Portimao) has over 3000 hrs sun each year and is one of the sunniest places in Europe. Maximum day temperatures are around 18-20 C in winter and 28-30 C in summer so not rediculously hot. The Portuguese are lovely cheerful people.......must be all that blue sky 😎

The cack weather has returned here - Saturday's rain is a distant memory, and I daresay by this time next week there'll be many more leaves falling from the trees.

Another disappointing “summer” day for many northern parts today with more wind and rain. Autumn does really seem to have started early (again) this year. At least it will/may be mild.

Feels like we are already well into autumn now, it's gloomy, wet and windy with wet leaves everywhere already! The garden is just about finished.
Time to head for 3 weeks of sun ☀️☀️☀️

That happened last year and from that, we had our highest temperatures of the entire year at the beginning of September although that spell of weather didn't last all that long and September 2023 was actually a poor month overall despite the hot and sunny start to it.

Can’t wait for September to arrive.

Humid sun breaking out after a very dreary morning. Despite warnings of heavy rain and floods overnight, only 3mm fell in total. Serious busted forecast by the models and the national met service.

Reports of overcast skies in Southampton so it moving faster to SE than forecast.  They need to cancel this fictional warm spike out to forecast overcast skies wet and very cool today to tomorrow all areas.

A not very good forecast from the Met Office today... they've really been off the boil recently.
For context, the automated shows highs of 25 today and 28 tomorrow, and the high so far today has been 26.

The text forecast, meanwhile, says this:
Today:

Dry and bright for much of the day. Misty start with low cloud near some coasts, mostly clearing through Tuesday morning. Sunshine often looking hazy given thin, high cloud across most areas. Breezy and feeling warm by afternoon. Maximum temperature 24 °C.
Tonight:
...
Wednesday:

Variable cloud amounts Wednesday morning and remaining mostly dry. A lot of bright weather with sunny spells. Chance of a shower later, mainly in west, perhaps rather heavy. Winds light. Maximum temperature 27 °C.
I'd love to know why they're predicting lower temperatures than their own model shows! Not for the first time, and TBH how hard can it be to do a sweep of the highest temperatures the modelling is throwing out in an area, and use THAT for the "maximum temperature" bit? Very hard, apparently.

Come up here Retron, another damp windy day with drizzle at times, quite warm today though at 20 C
Can't wait to see 3 weeks of blue sky after this years dull, damp winter and spring and poor summer. I've experienced 25 C once this year, the rest nowhere near! Hardly any long sunny days
Rain is much heavier as I type 😧

The main reason I'm staying put down here btw is because I inherited my childhood home - if I leave it, I'll never get it back and I know it'd gnaw at me. That and I hold out a (forlorn) hope of a classic easterly, 80s style, or even something I've never seen - snow falling and settling on Christmas Day. I just know if I were to leave here it'd be the one year it happens, and never again!

Still, there's always the option of a holiday up north. I've been to several colder places for a week or two in summer over the years... Scotland, northern England, Finland, Sweden, Alaska - and lovely though they are, they don't have that feeling of "home".

And back to the weather moans, it's still 24C outside and a "lovely" 27C indoors. I've had to put the portable a/c on again and it's something I'd hoped I wouldn't need now that autumn is just around the corner.

Currently in SW Belgium in the hills about 350m asl. It feels late summer here now too, took ages to warm up today and the sun has lost its sting. 25c max was near perfect and warm into the evening.  South of France a few days ago still felt like high summer though. 
The house i am staying in has the bedrooms downstairs which are very cool and the living space upstairs, certainty makes sleeping much easier.

I strongly believe there cloud seedings, control timing when form and go away exact times and man made frontal slap over HP every single time to disallowed most areas to access warm and sunny weather.

The Met Office are saying a high of 25C here today. Still possible but I think we will probably fall short due to cloud cover being more extensive than forecast.
