Early autumn?

    Just wondering has anybody any thoughts or ideas on tree leaves dying earlier this year. Is it just me or are they about a month ahead of normal?

    The first week of august I noticed leaves discolouring on trees here in Roscommon and in Galway and the rate of decay progressing rapidly now. It not just one or two species either - almost all types seem to be early.

    Does anybody have any records of what dates leaf senescence ususlly starts? Im just thinking that its the cumulative high levels of water in the soils all year that has the trees worn out...! Temperature wouldn't be an issue - as I dont think there's been any frosts yet, and trees in the west seem to be yellowing quicker - I work in Meath.

    I have felt the autumn nip already, and the blackberries on the bushes are already on their way out.
