When do you consider it the end of summer?

It's the last day of summer when I can justify wearing a jumper to go out. I don't even look forward to Christmas as much as I look forward to that day.

Probably mid October when it is too cold to go for a swim in the Brockwell Park lido.

I don't really like Christmas tbh, no racing and its the most pointless day in the calender once the presents have been opened

Its always a case of roll on Cheltenham once Kempton is done on the 26th

When the football season restarts

I was wearing a jacket some days in August and heating was on that month for a few days ...so summer stops and starts ... the strength of the sun diminishes during August too

 

Summer - somewhere over a few weeks between April and October in the SE  ,almost non existent in N Ire and Scotland
Spring - March,April,May,June 
Winter - Nov,Dec,Jan,Feb
Autumn - August,September,October

not sure where to put July

once you get above 44N in Europe you deffo get more of winter than you do of summer .

i always thought the schools going back felt like end of summer

any warm days are a bonus

do you get warm days in Newcastle Donny lol  ?   

most of the summer was spoilt because of easterly winds coming off north sea


i say spoilt, but around 70 f for quite a while, but not close to temps down south.



i'm in durham these days btw,

the north sea  is the curse ,even down this far ..esp in the spring months when the sea is an effin  ice bucket  ...cold winds like you say, even when it's a  warm  temp .  I have to put up a windbreaker in the garden during those months to lay outside .

Durham is a lovely old city

Lovely Town  was meant to be going for the Day to-morrow but looks Like rain

Actually though it was a cracking summer Donny , if it gets above 20 Im happy ,Lived down south Nothing like a 30  Degree day in London followed by a 20 plus night the word uncomfortable does not come near describing it , as For the Tube ,it
would be Illegal to transport cattle in Such Conditions .

I have allways said when Goodwood week is over that's the end of summer.

i always liked durham. mrs does too, so seemed obvious.

went to the cricket at chester le street yesterday, it was pleasant, but cold
out of the sun.



different game when north or east wind blows though,

yes casemoney, i said to lots of folk its been decent summer, but i would
have enjoyed a few more hotter days, but plenty are happy with 70.

and so dry the grass stopped growing, so no lawnmowing required!

People going on holiday at this time of the year seems a bit late as well imo

My parents go on Monday

Might be they always wait until school is back before going, no kids in the hotel etc

its cheaper outside school holidays ....very much so in some cases

In England, I'd say last day of Summer is Sept 30th, or thereabouts.

In Scotland, its whenever our very brief sunny spell ends (and that can be as early as May )

Most years in the UK the summer does not even start never mind ending as its always pissing down

We can't complain about this summer. August wasn't so good but that early stretch will live long in the memory.
In fact I woke up yesterday thinking about one glorioius day I had out in the countryside.

Ahh memories. It was all fields back then.

No it was the best summer in about 10 years. The World Cup felt like a world cup as well imo.

Next summer might be a washout

World cup was Brilliant Son

POETRY


THE LAST HORSE (It is said that Winter comes in on the tail of the last St. Leger Horse.) AUTUMN'S clipped her golden tresses, And the Paddock's gay with dresses Frills and lace and furbelows.
Never mind if Summer's dying,
You have backed a horse that's trying Tipped you by a man who knows I
Certain to be placed —a stayer. Bright September seems the gayer, Genial and debonair.
Ribbons, petals, swirling laces Lightly flutter, and the faces Surely never were so fair.
Doncaster's the best of courses, Now they're off—a blur of horses I But they've left him at the post ; And your Winner-Tryer-Sprinter Turns to welcome in the Winter— Turns, a cheery jocund host I There's no profit in abuses,
But your luck the very deuce is ;
He's to carry double weight.
Perched behind the boy, who rides him, Now an icy form bestrides him, As he swerves into the Straight.
Little wander that he tarries, Crippled by the load he carries ; Yet you half believe it true— That a shadow, nodding greeting From a horse this Autumn Meeting Promises good luck to you.

Someone said they consider the start of summer the lincoln handicap and the end of it after the st leger

March is a bit to early for summer although it is warming up at least, can see his method for the st leger though lol

The last evening meeting at Windsor

Having to move leaves from the green when you're putting

Mrs asks you to put the heating on

The 1st and last days of the County Championship, although you might need a thin sweater at times!

MARCH ????

Windsor and redcar Saturday night meeting ends summer in my eyes

Metorlogicalists say 1st sept ,Astronomists say Automnial Equinox and any good weather after that is an anomaly called Indian summmer ,global warming ect ect .Brilliant time of year imo and once the chlorophyll is turned down and the carotenoids  and Anthocyanin's appear and the sunsets go orange and red to further enhance nature’s  colour show you know it’s Hat Time .Already had the long johns on and soon they won’t be off till spring .North Sea is not that cold a sea imo ,very shallow in fact and just because the cold wind from the east blows over it does not mean it’s the sea that’s causing the chill.Would be interesting to look at temps in the east on other side of North Sea ,sea probably warmed them last winter imo .

^ places like Rotterdam,Ostend and Middlburg  typically get the same temps as Felixstowe ,Yarmouth  and Margate etc for the most part and the same sunshine hours too    ...  inland n/continent has been a different story in recent years  ... Germany and Northern France have been getting very some warm temps  the last few summer/spring /autumn  that aren't always reaching us  ...Paris and London now seem to be worlds apart in summer

Shorts til November

when I can no longer wear mini dresses with out stockings

When I start seeing Moisok doing the walk of shame on a sunday morning with his stockings scrunched into his hand bag.

There was frost in Perth this morning, so I got dressed and put some sun tan lotion on.

Then I had some bets and went to the bottle store.
