On a local walk around today I was quite surprised to see blackberries already ripe and hazelnuts formed and some dropping off. Anyone else seen signs of early autumn ??

> @"Elcarajillo"#p48956 Anyone else seen signs of early autumn ?? I think this summer might be set to be a short one…it's certainly not been as warm as usual. Perhaps the fight against global warming is working?

@"DavecUK"#p48958 Thats a possible answer Dave, but so is the eco loons only have something to bleat on about when heat events like last summer happen. If last summer was down to climate change, what is their explanation for this year?

Rest of the world is having a heat wave by all accounts, luckily with the UK pushing forward with net zero, were cool, I mean none of us can afford to use electric, cars, etc those of us with mortgages are currently paying that and eating our lawns and said berries above we have foraged

@"Cuprajake"#p48962 I foraged sone nice strawberries at Sainsbury today!

> @"Cuprajake"#p48962 , luckily with the UK pushing forward with net zero, were cool, I We have changed the worlds climate, singlehandedly.

Least we can be happy about that when we are freezing in winter,

I suppose if what they said a few weeks ago in that our June was the hottest on record was true, that means summer came early. So, makes sense that all the other seasons have been pushed forward too. By this rate we will be having Christmas in September!😁

> @"Pompeyexile"#p48978 that our June was the hottest on record was true, I do find that hard to believe??

@"Cuprajake"#p48962 If Europe is suffering a heatwave, then why are we not? I mean, climate change cannot vary from year to year. The damage is either done or it is not…..unless of course it is a made up figment of a collective imagination to hide the real truth about extortion and world domination….ooppss, there I go again!

@"DavecUK"#p48991 According to the [Met Office ](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press-office/news/weather-and-climate/2023/fingerprints-of-climate-change-on-june-temperature-records)and [NASA, ](https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3276/nasa-finds-june-2023-hottest-on-record/#:~:text=June%202023%20was%20the%20hottest,on%20ships%20and%20ocean%20buoys.)June 2023 looks like being the hottest on record. But I'd advise caution rather than just accepting that as fact; my mates aunty Margaret and some of her friends on the internet say that is BS and the weather is just normal - they all seem to have done their homework too, so they probably know just as much as NASA and the Met Office. I don't know who to believe, it's all so complicated.

Autumn coming early.
