Autumn Around the Corner Already

JUST 10 days from now it’ll be the last day of August. It has been a very hot summer.

Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather

It’s the warmest season and it won’t be over next month, as some expect further dry spells.

Rain arrives for some but is another UK heatwave on the way in September?

By some standards, summer ends in 1.5 weeks from now:

We are now into the first week of meteorological summer, which began on June 1 and will last until August 31, with autumn beginning on September 1.

Meteorologists divide the seasons up according to weather rhythms and the Gregorian calendar, states the Royal Meteorologists Society (RMETS).

But there is also the astronomical calendar, which marks out summer as being from June 21 until September 21, with autumn beginning the next day and lasting until December 21.
