Been perfect in Louisville area. August was cooler than usual, too.

I've been able to sleep with the window open the last two nights in a row, with temps in the low 50s.

First time I've been able to do so since the early Spring.

I'm loving it. Autumn can't get here fast enough. It's by far my favorite season.

I am in Georgia as well and it is a beautiful day, especially after the crappy weather we got on the holiday weekend. Summer this year was mostly too hot but we had some really nice days as well.

Been a sticky Summer in northern Kentucky so the cool down is welcome. Another nice aspect of the cool temps is nearing the end of bug season. Seen enough of the insect world for a year.

The nicest time of the year around here in the north GA mountains.
Let's hope for a long fall season.

I too detest summer with the heat and humidity, so much so I wonder why I came back down here. Oh wait! I remember, my wife wanted to. I wanted to go west to Montana or Wyoming.

The cool and dry weather is much appreciated.

Yes, it was a beautiful morning; I woke up.

"Nice" hasn't hit central Florida yet. Humid as hell and in the mid 90s. Ready for it to be over.

I swear September is the worst month here. It feels hotter than August, if that were possible.

Been nice the last few days over here, too. Not Fall, yet, but cooler and drier. Looking forward to my favorite season.

We sat outside for lunch today. Truly a nice change from the 100+ days of July and August.

I hear you ArtieS.

The rain every day is crazy. Everything is sticky.

My wife put out “fall” decorations yesteray. I chuckled since it was 94F out. LMAO

I say bring on the colder weather!

After a very hot and dry July here in North Texas, August and so far into Sept, it's been very pleasant.

Going against the popular preference I prefer summer to winter. This year was an exception with all of that 100 degree days in July which was a little much. Fall is great and spring is not bad except it's usually humid and stormy. Winter for me is miserable, even in Texas. I have a blood/bone marrow disease that affects me in the cold. No, I'm not a wimp, I grew up in upper Midwest and used to run around in a tee shirt in January and hated anything over 80 degrees. Now, give me temps in the 90's and I'm happy.

Even cooler here, we’re about 100 miles north of you, it was 47 this AM. Love the change!

I grew up 35 miles from the Gulf coast. I've had three lifetimes of summer.

I'm not talking about the relatively moderate summer of the Northern US. I'm talking about the we-might-as-well-be-in-Ecuador summer of the deep South.

Having spent my childhood north of Beaumont, I understand this completely. Near full summers of 100% humidity.

A beautiful day here as well Para, good to hear it's cooled down there and you got windows open!
High got to 72 and NO RAIN for a change, and only light chance for any all week. This whole summer has been relatively cool and with a lot of rain, AC's only been turned on for a 4-day period and a 2-day mostly to reduce humidity.
Fall in Georgia has to be nice.

Nice, glad to hear. It is well know here how I hate summer. I mean a little is ok. Maybe a week or two and then I am completely over it. Bring on Fall then a long, cold, snowy winter. Then I am a happy camper. If I want rain then its W. Wa.

The joke around here is that Fall lasts one week. Well this year it looks like we're being treated to a much longer transition. We had lots of triple digits this summer and the mid 70s - low 80s we're seeing now is a welcome change.

Last year in early September we had a triple digit day followed by snow the next. Yup crazy!

Agree, was 54 degrees on the way to work this morning (Huntsville) love the cool weather!

Socked in with smoke here for the past few days. 1/4 - 1/2 mile visibility. The upside is that it's kept the temperatures down in the 60s-70s. I'm about done with it though. I could use a good clear crisp fall day right about now.

I, too, hate summer. October/November all year would make me a happy man.
