Is it already Fall in California? How's the weather where you are?

As I sit at my desk, sipping my first cup of coffee, I can feel the cool air on my feet. Outside, I see both sunshine and haze. It's August 1st, but the cool air makes me think of Fall. California's weather is weird. Spring comes early, and our fields look emerald green like Ireland in January through March, when many Americans are shoveling snow. By June, our fields are yellow, soon to be brown. We used to say that "fire season" starts in September, but this Summer has shown is that it really starts as soon as the green grass has disappeared. How's the weather where you are? Can you feel Fall in the air? Or does it still feel like the "dog days" of Summer? I'll attach a picture from one of my January or February hikes, when things are the most beautiful here.

It's an exceptionally hot and dry summer in Germany. No autumn (!) in sight yet.

@marlina I cannot stand this heat, now I hear the thunder and I hope it's going to rain, at least a little time to cool down the temperature.

Today its rainy so it won`t be so hot. No August is one of the hotter months in Alabama, usually. But this year we have had rain so maybe not as much crispy grass.

@TheHorse The poor girl lives in a hot trailer out there in the fields with my handicapped cousin. I do not envy her. Nothing out there it seems so she tells me.

Since we don't have fall season, I don't know how it actually feels like. But in my side of the world, it's still the wet or the rainy season. It hasn't rained for a couple of days until last night, August first and now it's Thursday morning here and it started to rain when I was driving my son to school.

It's still summer here but it's not quite so humid. The only signs of fall is that it's starting to get a little darker earlier in the evening. I love when it's still light out at 8:30pm

It feels warm here now (11 AM). I'm not sure what it's supposed to get up to here today. 90s there should mean 80s here.

Do you usually get rain at this time of year? Are the rain cycles different in different parts of India?

The pic is really beautiful. It's rainy season here in Mumbai, India. And It's feeling quite relieved as the weather here is mostly hot.
