Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world, on the internet, by

webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the unexplained.

Well, here I go again, Mr Weatherboard, but the weather's played another trick on us.

Some of the tabloid papers were saying that, as August comes to an end, are we going to

have a heat wave maybe 40 degrees, what a hundred Fahrenheit?

Not so.

What's happened is about four or five weeks early, we seem to be spiraling into autumn,

and there be many signs of that as it's chilling in the air early in the morning.

The light levels feel exactly like they do in mid-September, a month early.

And once I'm from my own life in my apartment, and normally every year I get two or three

wasps, hornets in the apartment.

Usually towards the end of the year because, thus slowing down, it's cold and they come

presumably to find some warmth.

In the space of 24 hours, never happened before I had five in my apartment, and they all

have to be shown the door to do whatever they will do.

But very, very odd, and perhaps although I'm not a climate scientist, another sign that

it feels different.

And I think as human beings we sense these things, don't we?

So, I think somehow having started with a tropical stormy winter, beginning of this year

with floods, and then gone on to heat waves in the middle of the year.

Now suddenly early, we're heading for autumn.

Just don't understand it, but that's the fact.
