I know i may be weird but i love seeing my shadow get larger every day. The sun is definitely lowering at a rapid rate, a sure sign that fall cant be far away.

Screw November. Im going for a hike in the mountains in September.

Mountains are good for a hike always, well anytime is good for a hike. I hike virtually every day without fail. Have a secret special spot that hardly anyone visits or knows about! A little slice of the sky in rural, flat, easternish nc. Place is very hilly with steep bluffs overlooking the moccasin creek, also furthest east you will find mountain plants like rhododendrons. Place is so epic that when it was discovered in the 1930s thousands of people from as far away as New England flocked to see it. Oh, ill share perhaps @SD or @Rain Cold would be interested in giving it a visit. The best time would be to visit in April and May when the hundreds of Rhododendrons are in peak bloom! It's so amazingly steep there! Also, have a secret ( well not secret people like to fish there) spot off this dirt road that leads to Buckhorn reservoir. Great spot to catch the sunset or stargaze!

Easy Walk to Spring Flowers - Triangle Land Conservancy
Only a half-mile trail with amazing views of flowering Catawba Rhododendrons. Check out this special pocket of the mountains nestled in Johnston County.

I personally wish it was fall all year long. Season are overrated. Theres nothing like opening your windows in the fall and letting the fresh air in.
Spring/summer > fall > winter because I’ve simply haven’t enjoyed the past 2 winters, maybe this one can change it but that’s my opinion right now

I personally have loved the last 2 winters, perfectly mild and devoid of any extreme cold. There is nothing enjoyable about temps under about 20 degrees. Subzero is just hell, what do you get other than death when its -5 degrees?
I honestly like winter warmth, I hate cold, but the lack of snow is just dreadful

Im not a fan of anything extreme for extended periods of time. I dont like heat or warmth in excess. It's kinda cool to have extremes on occasion but it gets old if it stays around a long time

I don't mind the snow at all! Unfortunately, the last few snowstorms apart from December 2018 were followed by extreme cold. In 2018 all-time record-breaking cold for spots.

I would be perfectly happy living in a place like San Diego. I could just make a short drive to the mountains if i wanted to see snow. And yes i realize they have boring weather
I would say fall is my favorite season. Late fall mainly tho, because early Oct is usually just hell. Winter is normally really fun too just because I enjoy cold and the potential for winter wx. Spring is fine lol. I hate summer temps. Thunderstorms are cool

Pretty sure your avg temp in early Oct is in the 70s. Doesn't sound like hell to me

I love summer temps . Give me 90-95 with dew points 75-80 every day, thunderstorms every day , and 10+ inches of rain a month as well in summer . My preference for climate varies though ; I find climates like Blacksburg VA and Blasirsville GA very nice as well .

Are you on drugs ?
This is it, this is one reason I would move to Florida
I'm pretty sure i live here and the last few years have been 90s. Last year in particular being high 90s
Dewpoint Dan
Member
The last few years are the exception
I'm 17, so the last few years are basically my formative years when it comes to what I expect in weather
Dewpoint Dan
Member
Well trust me. It is not normal to have temps in the 90s in early Oct or even in late Sept
Yeah same, last year it was 100 in early October and the years before its baked, kinda used to it now already, and honestly I don’t mind it as long as there’s some storms with it or storms to end the pattern
Well we've logged at least one October record high temp 2016, 17, and 19. 4 straight records 8/1-4 last year including an all time record of 98F. 6 record highs in 2016, with 3 of them coming late Oct (although they were mid80s). 1 day in '17 88F 8/11.
Its probably gonna become normal soon if it ain't already
Ok no I very much mind that its 90s in Oct
Cmonnnnn man ?? longer pool time tho

I predict you will not even hit 85 this Oct.
That's the thing, I ain't swimmin' past Labor Day. Idc how hot it is, it just seems wrong.
Can't cut any grass either because the south is an oven in early fall

You can't cut grass in early fall but you can in summer ?
LickWx
Member
Well my homemade weather model ( my gut) says it’s going to be a cold October . Hottest day will peak 83-86 . Mean hottest day in October is like 86/87 in Raleigh anyhow .
...Yeah? Its not raining in early fall usually so we don't get as much grass growing
LickWx
Member
Oh come on now , fall may be the drier season but it’s not bone dry . It still rains plenty !
Look man, all I'm sayin is I ain't cutting near as much grass in Sep/early Oct as I am in the summer.
