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

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.
