The forecast highs in Detroit for the next five days are all above 80....

[marmar]

going into the second week of October. There's scarcely an orange leaf to be found around here: It's all summer green.
Even the most fervent global warming deniers have got to admit that something's kind of strange..... :think:

1. I can still wear shorts in San Diego

and I epxect our Santa Anna to go further and further back

[marmar]

2. Isn't fall usually one of the warmer seasons in Southern Cali?

I know it is in Northern California? San Francisco's summer seems to be September and October.

12. Its been way, and I mean WAAYYY

too warm and our heat waves usually lasted three days, not a week

you know its bad when the parrots don't complaint if I give them a shower

[WorseBeforeBetter]

3. I just heard 90s in Raleigh...

and I am NOT happy. Meanwhile, the news bunny was practically giddy. Oh goody! - more heat, humidity, mosquitoes and drought!

[Purveyor]

4. My maples are turning orange and the hickory's are going yellow here in mid-mich

but its not due to cold weather. Had one frost scare in mid-sept but it didn't pan out.

Still plucking zuchinni and tomatoes out of the garden.

Suits me just fine, indeed. Haven't had to fire the furnace yet this season. I hope the oil companies drown in their surplus of heating oil.

6. "I hope the oil companies drown in their surplus of heating oil."

Yes, that is one of the few positives. :)

7. Mid to upper 80's thru Monday in Central Indiana. n/t

[TahitiNut]

8. Leaves in the yard for three weeks ... no orange? Ha!

This is South Oakland County, not Ishpeming. :shrug:

Maples and cottonwoods.

[Kool Kitty]

10. Supposed to get near ninety here in central NJ tomorrow

and Friday. Everything still bright green. I want some fall foliage, dammit.

[Imagevision]

11. When this happens in January then the msm will have something to spin but

not much more.

[Bobbieo]

13. 101 degrees in the desert Southwest today. Too much too late!!

[LTR]

14. Not unusual

I've seen 70s and low 80s in the midwest in the first week of October.

And lack of color could be related either to rainfall amounts or that color hasn't reached there yet.

If it's 80 by the end of the month, then that's an issue.

[KillCapitalism]

15. Upper 80's all week here in St. Louis.

Yep, it's global warming for sure.

When I was a kid back in the 80's, which wasn't too long ago, we'd be wearing sweaters and jeans this time of year instead of t-shirts and shorts.

[JesterCS]

16. Southwest Ohio here

Most trees are still green. We had SOME leaves fall, more due to drought than seasonal change. im surprised its still this green. oh and 90 degrees tomorrow here in Monroe ( 30 miles north of Cincy )

[etherealtruth]

17. The weather here in Michigan has been disconcerting ...

In my heart I really believe we are experiencing the effects of warming (more obviously than others) because of the Great Lakes.

It is in the 80's and it is October and this is quite unusual ...especially for us older folk (me: mid 40's) that remember MUCH cooler weather this time of year.

[Berserker]

18. Not strange at all

On this date in Detroit in 1951 89 °F / 31 °C (1951)
Friday 88 °F / 31 °C (1951)
Saturday 91 °F / 32 °C (1963)

19. Caucasian summer. n/t

[Holly_Hobby]

20. I'm 45 min. south of Detroit......

No leaf color changes here either.

I'm so sick and tired of warm weather. I want "football weather".

My dogs are blowing their undercoats - never happened before.

21. Still using my car A/C - In Canada, in OCTOBER

I woke up yesterday, looked at my outside thermometer - 17.4 (63.3 Fahrenheit) degrees at 7:00 in the morning.

And our fall colors are just about right on time.

I hear that changing leaf colors depend less on temperature than it does on hours of daylight.

23. I had to run my AC last night so I could sleep. In Ohio! In October!

October used to be part of autumn season - crisp days, cold nights. Here in Columbus, the forecast for the next week is the same as every day but two during the last month: clear, high in the upper 80s, clear overnight, low in the upper 60s. Day after day after day after day of the exact same weather.

It's a good thing global warming is just an invention of the drive-by liberal media. Otherwise, I'd be getting worried about now.

22. It's going to be heading toward the 80's in New Hampshire, too.

I planted late crops in the garden "just in case" and we're eating a new batch of string beans, lettuce, spinach and cherry tomatoes. The zinnias I plant among the vegetables are waist high and they just keep blooming. If there's an up side to global warming, this is it.
