Well, summer hasn't let its grip go here, in SW Ontario: the high to-day is 34C (94F) and 40C (104F) with the humidity; the normal temperature for this time of year is 18C (65F). I detest heat and humidity, although I grew up in the Tropics, and I'm looking forward to winter.

Thanks mate. The 11C would be nice, but not the torrential rain.

Once autumn started, we got the f*** out of the country and went somewhere warm (Malta). We didn't even get a summer so to speak in England. Going away mid-August has become just too busy for me now, but end of September is just right. What I didn't like was covering everybody's summer holidays at work.

Summer just starting for me, landed in Orlando for three weeks of R&R.

The weather bureau advises that this was the hottest day of 2017. So much for the autumnal equinox.

This is the first seven day stretch since late February when we won't have a single 100F/38C day. But we did get about two minutes of rain.
Here, where I live, the first rainfall has occurred since May.
During the whole month of September, the temperature was around 25C.
This morning, after the rainy night, is more pleasant. 21C.
Yeah, that's right Ulysses, rub it in !

The cold doesn't stop me putting the roof down on my car, it's the rain that does!
On an entirely unrelated note, I had a conversation with my brother who's spending a year in Oz after he visited Hong Kong for two months followed by 6 weeks in Indonesia. He stated that it's the first day he's felt chilly... at 22°C. I told him to 'go elsewhere', and that it was a 'toasty' 12°C on my commute in today!

Yep, that's true enough about the wet stuff being a damper on things. Been a great summer here in Colorado and have been enjoying the heck outta my retirement gift to myself, bought early this year.
Never had a convertible for some reason and am sorry about waiting so long. Cool weather's no problem with a good heater. Little thing drives like a go kart, but it's been overcast and drizzling most of this week.

Sweet set of wheels!
