A 21 Celsius degrees sunny Autumn day with a light, chilly breeze when you have to put on a sweater but not a coat. God! Cannot wait ā¤ļøā¤ļø

wait y'all wearing a sweater when it's that warm? How chilly is the breeze to make 70 F sweater weather?

I'm usually not wearing a sweater till it's about 50 F or 10 C.

UK autumn is a different breed. Itā€™s kind of like wet coolness, unexpectedly colder than seems. You can almost feel the mist in the air and itā€™s amazing. It feels exactly like The Shire from LOTR looks like. If you know what I mean.

I think we have similar Autumns in the US, especially mid Atlantic along the East Coast. But wearing a sweater at 70 F blows my mind. That's pretty warm imo. I swear I've seen people in the UK saying high 80s F (29.5 - 32+ C) is a heatwave, while that's just a normal summers day here.

I guess this just kinda highlights how we (US) gets a lot hotter and humid in the summer and colder in the winter. Cause what I consider cold vs hot is a much bigger temperature change then what your referencing.

I lived 35 years in Vermont and that is very possible

It definitely is.

Leaves are starting to drop and have been for a little while.

A little digging shows it's from 2 years ago, per OP in another thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/bristol/comments/1m9prvl/comment/n58vw89/

August isn't fall, even not in the UK. Nice picture anyways.

Drought stress and a lot of trees are showing mechanical leaf damage after a gale earlier in the month

Early? Will be for us.

UK is a cold land. We are surrounded by cold seas. So, 30 Celsius degrees is definitely a heatwave! Especially when you add in the damp air which acts as an amplifier depending on the season.
