    It has been the truly ideal summer :)

    If we get an Indian summer too... well that'll be just perfect.

    As its September and still hot, then this can be classed as an Indian Summer, but I think a proper Indian Summer is when it has been a shit summer and then suddenly gets hot in September

    An 'Indian Summer' is a warm spell of weather that occurs after the first frosts.

    Why? Is there something physically wrong with you?

    First week of September when summer like weather often occurs isn't really an indian summer.

    I hate heat. Hoping we have a really cold and white winter this year.

    Seems this promise of an Indian Summer was not forthcoming. Winter seemed to appear overnight last week, and the immediate forecast is appalling.

    This is taking some getting used to.:(

    Strong winds forecast with the possibility of trees being blown down. Not very benign weather.

    Autumn is merely started; it is still way too early to write off an Indian Summer, there is still a possibility of mild/warm spells in October and November. :)

    It doesn't have to follow a poor summer, it is merely an unexpected summery spell in late spetember /october/november after it seems that typical autumn weather has well and truly set in.

    In Welsh it is called 'Haf Bach Mihangel' which means St Michael's little summer, so called because it happens around the time of Michaelmas (Sept 29th).

    Some hold that it only counts if there has been a frost.

    Moreover, I disagree that the (so far) mild September weather can be classed as an indian summer, because it is just a continuation of normal summer. An indian summer happens in contrast to autumnal weather.

    There

    was a heatwave in
    October 2011 and another spell of hot weather in March 2012. People
    forget this

    The weather doesn't always turn nice when you really want it to.

    October 2011 and March 2012 was the wrong time but summers 2011 and 2012
    when you really want the good weather they were miserable.

    When we finally got the good weather at the right time this year it was
    too humid, sticky and sultry.

    22 or 23 degrees C and 30 to 40% humidity with wall to wall
    sunshine would have been a much more enjoyable July this year than near or over 30 degrees C and 80+% humidity.

    The last few days have been awful. It rained yesterday, like the whole day. Non-stop. Even the ducks wanted to come inside it was raining that hard! Hope we get some more sun before the clocks go back.

    It was 36º here today officially, although the thermometers in the street were reading 43º. Bit odd for winter...

    We had 75f max today and was considered mild/cold. Back to the 80's next week.

    I prefer UK weather - I'm weird!
