England’s Early Autumn Feeling

    

Early Autumn in England is called a shoulder season, meaning that most places are quieter than the months before, during the sunny crush of peak-season summer. Early autumn can often feel very much like summer, of course much quieter, and you can expect at least a few days of soft, hazy warmth.

The end of September brings the Autumn Equinox. This is one of just two moments every year when day and night are of equal length before the sun dips below the horizon and the northern hemisphere experiences six months of longer nights than days. This indicates the official first day of autumn, but the longer nights also present the perfect opportunity for stargazing. So, go outside on a nice clear night with a blanket and enjoy the stars.

 

    

With an average maximum temperature of 18°C and a minimum of 10°C, September is the perfect month to visit England if you are looking to get out and about explore the country. With an average of just ten days of rainfall, this is an ideal time to get out hiking as the country is neither too cold nor wet. The Peak District, New Forest and Cotswolds offer some of the best walks to enjoy the turning of the seasons as autumn colours set the countryside ablaze
