93˚F at the moment (feels like 94˚F). General, the weather has been nice, but hot and humid most days.

We just got an email from our natural gas company, congratulating us on how much less we gas we used in September 2019 than the equivalent 2018 period.
Can't really take any credit for that: we're still running our (electric) _air conditioner_. Daytime highs have been regularly getting into the 90's (30's C) still, which is height-of-summer temps for our latitude (though nights have been cooler at least).
It's also awkward: still beach weather, but Jersey Shore lifeguards have all gone back to college. We had a drowning this week, and it may not be the last one (especially because surf is rougher and rip currents more likely this time of year).
I am pleased to report, however, that Hurricane Karen has passed without, as far as I've heard, causing significant damage or deaths, so the National Hurricane Center reports on it have been pretty much unalloyed joy: "Karen will likely meander for a day or so" and "Karen will be weak and shallow" and "Karen has had enough time to strengthen."

This morning, when it was almost perfect in Brooklyn, I had a flashback from the time I was in London in autumn 2012. That crisp autumn weather now reminds me of the spring in Wellington.
Hmmm... memories of good times.
Thankfully we have Jacinda there. There’s still hope.

London, summer '92 I think I've changed a lot since then, do you? Ideas that I'd held for years, emotional baggage, hopes and fears, Seen somehow in a different light, not as wrong, but not as right as they seemed before. Was I different then? Have I changed? And will I change again?
We've entered what I like to call Summer Fall. Still hot during the day, but not as humid and it cools off more and more quickly at night. However, we're approaching a record number of 90°F or warmer days for the year. We're dry right now but otherwise have had significantly more rain than usual this year.
So: warmer with more extreme precipitation events.
Climate crisis fun.

In that summer fall, a few months ago I remember seeking every way to cool down with each degree daily rise. Now after adapting or more acclimating, it feels like each degree of cool until you do something normal. Nope, still hot.

I live in Cambridge, which is apparently the driest, sunniest bit of the UK. Low bar, and all. While the weather's been lovely, I'm sad that we're now into <12hrs daylight, and will remain so until a few days before the vernal equinox.

When the first official day of fall hit recently here in the Chicago area I was hoping it would usher in some cool weather in the low 50's for me to enjoy. I love the cold you see, and would gladly live in Canada or Alaska if I could convince my wife (no chance in hell).
Instead what we got was lots of rain and swelting high 80's temperatures in what I believe was the last gasp of Summer. This week thankfully has been 50's and rainy.
As someone who deals with a higher internal temperature I relish being cold because it makes that warm clothes bearably and dare I say a unique experience to relish.

Weather has been mostly the same up here in Madison. I was hoping for a few more opportunities to go out on my motorcycle, but it seems like that may not happen. I probably will try to hold out putting it into storage as long as possible anyway.
I'm with your wife on this one, I cannot *stand* the cold. I've lived here my entire life and have been trying to move away the past couple of years, ideally to Seattle or something. Jobs are hard though, and moving far away is kinda scary!
I'm in Newport, RI and the water temperature just dropped back below 65 for the first time since spring. Summer seems to be officially over, at least here.
The leaves turned about three weeks earlier this year than last though.
I think it's going to be a cooooold winter.

73 deg F on my way home from work yesterday. Today folks are preparing for snow and 11 deg F temps forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
North East Wyoming, USA.
*sigh*
Next week should be back up to the 50s and 60s I think.

South Florida checking in, where it is a comfortable 75°, but drizzly.
We’ve managed to get away from the mid-90s for a couple weeks. Since we had a good hurricane scare a month ago, I am hoping Mother Nature makes up for it with a long, gorgeous winter.

"Record breaking cold" here in Vancouver, BC, Canada right now. We apparently dipped down to 0 degrees Celsius early this morning! Average low for this time of year is 7C according to the news report I read. It's nice to have this sunny and cold interlude before the dark rains settle in.
