I know that there may well be a number of people here who would much rather carry the summer moaning thread on for a while, since September can in certain years end up being like an extension to our summer, and since the astronomical summer doesn't actually end until the time and date of the Autumn Equinox on around 23 September.
However, the latest model output has indicated that we have some fairly autumnal weather coming up. There are many people on this forum who will talk about autumnal weather at any time of the year, but it is only now that we have now entered the very time of the year when I actually look for autumnal weather.
By that, I mean plenty of Atlantic storms, especially later on and hopefully, the first official air frost in this part of the world during October. For those reasons, I am no longer bothered about the temperatures refusing to rise during the day as I would be during the summer.
Furthermore, there is always a clamour on this forum to get the winter moaning thread underway during November, well before the start of the actual meteorological winter itself. That makes the autumn moaning thread, the shortest lived thread in any given year, out of the all of the seasonal moaning threads. However, it doesn't need to be that way.
I am aware that there will be various members of this forum who will disagree with me, but I believe that this is as good a time as any to start off the autumn moaning thread for the reasons which I have just mentioned, and that is what I am doing now.
Unlike the summer moaning thread though, this one won't double up as a gloating thread as there isn't really much that you can gloat about anyway, when it comes to the autumn. If there is, anyone is always free to start a new thread for that or discuss that in any general discussion thread for this autumn which may well turn up.
