Bit better tonight. Phone seems to think it's about 18 outdoors, definitely warmer than that in so still sleeping with a fan on.

I know I shouldn't complain about finally getting a 'decent' summer after years of drizzle but I just am not built for this kind of weather.

Bring on the autumn I'm ready to layer up.

If someone could get their shaman hat on and make it not rain on the 29th that would be dope. I've got an outdoor thing and I don't want to be wet.

Glad it's been a bit milder this week. I need to clean the conservatory and it's horrible with the sun blasting in.

Need to find where they’re keeping Tesla’s weather machine.

So cold atm. I miss the sun
 
The forecast has moved down a notch here for today, it was going to be sunny all day and high 20s. Now we're getting a sunny morning and mid 20s, according to the forecast.

That'll be fine though. I prefer it a bit cooler these days, and find the hotter temperatures uncomfortable. Not sure if it's my age, or my prescribed meds. Mirtazapine and methylphenidate which both could possibly have an effcet, IIRC.

Not sure about Scotland, but Septembers can still be pretty summery and pleasant in England. Those so called "Indian Summers", except over here they only usually last a few days.

Apparently Meteorologists use 1 September as marking the first day of autumn, whereas astromoners have it beginning on the date of the equinox, around the 23rd of September.

Although all seasons are flying by these days, I'm learning to appreciate Autumns more, after previously getting mildly depressed about them meaning "Winter is coming!". I also refuse to believe these people that try to argue that we get 6 month winters in the UK, from October to March! That's so not true, Octobers and Novembers can be mild, and come February to March there are many signs of spring. I'm playing mind tricks on myself trying to convince myself that true winter is only really December and January, with December being by far my least favourite month, and then at least after the winter solstice, the days starts getting longer again in January.
 
We definitely don't get the kind of winters that a large part of mainland Europe gets. At least outside of northern Scotland. Maybe a few weeks of sub zero temperatures at most. Anything else is an outlier.

It's the greyness and the darkness that I can't stand. I only learnt last year that I have a pretty severe vitamin D deficiency. I have one of the palest skin tones that's humanly possible too. It was so bad that I had extreme joint pain, which I'd taken as early onset arthritis. A decent high dose supplement certainly made all the difference.
