It's almost like someone flipped the switch this morning, and it's breezy with low humidity and temp in the upper 60s, when yesterday morning was almost 80 and steamy. Went for a run and barely broke a sweat, compared to getting soaked running in summer weather. Good riddance to Summer. Gotta love Fall.
How is the weather where y'all are at?

Yup…yesterday on the tennis court I was drenched after 14 seconds of warm up. Looking forward to my 9:30 match this morning!! Might even bring my light jacket with me “just in case”.

We're in Illinois near St Louis. Today's predicted high is 72 with a 15-25 mile per hour north wind. Sunday is predicted to be 86 and Monday 90. Probably no more 95's. This is maybe the best time of the year for the next couple of months depending on what activities you like to do.
Still shitty. Your autumn is supposed to arrive tomorrow though.

2-4" of rain expected here today & tomorrow to start off our Fall here. This will be added to the already 6" above normal rainfall we've had so far.
But, yeah, Fall is my favorite season. I'd be OK if it was October all year round- Frosty mornings, warm afternoons, and the bugs have all returned to hell, where they belong.

Perfect. I've been driving 12 miles west to a nice Preserve for mostly-wooded 60-80 minute walks 3x a week. "We're" still getting a nice sweat going [it is popular among the dawg walkers].
I lived for many years in the Twin Cities (Minnesota). For sure, Fall was the best season there. But it was hard to enjoy it, because we knew what was coming next.
Kind of like a prisoner on death row trying to enjoy his scrumptious last meal.

It’s still summer as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Those of us that live here see that the highs are in the low 90’s, so fall is approaching. There are still a couple months before it is sweater weather. It sure is nice to have a break from the heat.

Summer weather here is often like fall in most of the U.S., but the switch seemed to have been thrown a couple of weeks ago. The leaves are turning very quickly and two nights ago snow on the neighboring mountains got down to (I estimate) the 12,000 foot level. The low yesterday morning was 23° and it's 30° now.

South Texas weather, if you do not like it stick around for 24 hours. But, this is my favorite time of year. I love it when it cools off and the humidity goes lower than normal here.
Got rain, perfect timing. Just pulled two extremely long days removing a flower bed that ran the length of my driveway, tilled it, seeded it, strawed it, tamped it. My other two big flower beds had old mulch removed, weed block laid down, mulch replaced. Removed my fence from the back yard and did some leveling and seeding back there too.
Didn't bother watering when I was done yesterday, mother nature is doing me a solid today and tomorrow.

Only a bit north of you. Was pleasantly surprised when I left to take the kids to school this morning. It was shockingly humid yesterday morning, today was a nice change.
