Our weatherman on the hill says:
The Indian Summer is over: More normal temperatures this coming week, with a little rain on Wednesday and becoming breezy with sunny periods.

Just a point of interest here, I was corrected when I mentioned Indian Summer the other day. The definition of an Indian Summer is a prolonged period of temperatures above 21 deg C after we’ve experienced a killing frost – usually experienced in October.

I would suggest your defination is a highly unlikely event in this country. I understand the expression comes from the USA in the 1770’s and relates to something which does occur
there and has been adopted over here to describe the weather we have recently experienced.
Thank you for correcting my correction Mike – what would we do without Google and Wikipedia!!

Hello Cheryl, the answer is good old Britanica or similar, maybe even a trip to the library. I was curious because we enjoy a maritime climate and not a continental weather pattern.
