Only 45 days to go...

Que?

I hate summer, so September is my favourite month of the year (assuming the heatwave doesn't extend into it, that is).

It’s still summer, until 22nd September?

I hate winter I need summer to go on 9 months of the year
Thank you

I am with you on that BlueBelle 🌞🌞🌞

Noooo! September can be beautiful but it's also a prelude to shorter days and colder weather and signals the final days of summer, if we're lucky we'll get an Indian Summer that can stretch into October. I know such intense heat as we've been experiencing isn't great in a heaving metropolis. On a personal note, we've been down in South Hams. Devon for nearly two weeks now and it's been heavenly. I'll be so sad when the gloomy grey days are here again.

Yes, depends where in the country you are doesn’t it? But I’m with the OP on this roll on September and never thought I’d say it but roll on some rain.😩

I agree Oreo. I normally love the lighter nights and warmer weather, means we can spend more time outside, but the hot temps here in London mean that for weeks now we have been unable to go out until evening or get up super early.
And everywhere is tinder dry with the risk of fires.
Roll on more temperate weather with rain as well as more seasonal temps.
And for the first time I really am looking forward to autumn.

Id prefer some rain, but not for autumn to appear until November.

Yes , we need some rain. But, you can keep the miserable damp short days of late Autumn and winter. Loving this warm weather and light clothing. I feel so much better .

And not having to wear socks at all, ever, in the summer is great.

I'm with BlueBelle and TerriBull. I'd vote for nine months of summer, and one month each of autumn, winter, and spring.

I'd go for 7 months of summer , 2 of lovely autumn colours, and 2 of the fresh greens of spring where the world comes alive, and one winter month. But it would have to stay light for longer hours in spring and autumn in my plan.

Currently - as things are, but with overnight rain. I wouldn't miss the sun and the light clothes and people out and about more cheerful for a bit, and in the park people who rarely come out as they are in wheelchairs and so on and its hard to stay warm enjoying the shady bits or coffee under the umbrellas.

Me too! Just not quite as hot please x

I would miss the sun not wouldn't. But I can get out and go to aircon places.

This would also suit me perfectly 😀

I would like to vote for this plan too!

Nobody mentioned rain. We had a prolonged drought last year from a dry winter through to the end of summer. This year we had a couple of light showers between the first two heat waves then nothing since. Any moment now Thames Water will reinstate last year’s hose ban and I’ve been watering the garden on alternate days for a month.
Extreme heat together with lack of rain must be having a huge impact on trees, plants and wildlife.
So my vote goes to the Less Sun More Rain party.

As my dad used to say “don’t wish your life away”. I often think of that. September will come soon enough. Although I must admit, the heatwaves are not welcome for me and DH.

I like it to be pleasantly warm, not baking and airless like some recent days.

I also like running around in shorts and little tee shirts, no socks, sleeping with just a sheet covering me lightly, doing a load of washing and not thinking ‘will it rain?’, eating sungold tomatoes and cucumbers from the greenhouse, getting up soon after 5am because I’m awake and it’s light, having a shower with the window open instead of the fan on, sitting in the shade under the apple tree in the garden reading a book and not feeling guilty….

Come September, a lovely month, but seeing the school children going back, a bit of a nip in the air, nights ‘drawing in’, all feels a bit 🥲
