Running piggyback on this post and on this one made by Debra at She who Seeks, here is how Urban Dictionary defines "Augtober":
The phenomenon of weather during which August sometimes feels like October and October feels like August.
Yes, that's how it's been in my neck of the woods. It's been like that since July. The mornings have started off foggy, then get warm by midday. I'm just glad there hasn't been a heatwave as we were having a year ago around this time. I now dread the weather in the next months. The heatwave also occurred at the beginning of October last year. I hate to think it might happen again! But first there's September weather to dread.
And the Halloween items have arrived, at least at the Dollar Tree in my town. I haven't been to Target recently. These were actually in the store at the end of July:
Count me out. Soon we'll be having Aug-giving followed by Septmas and NovYearsDay. Nope.
Yeah, I'm surprised no one has come with any of these, as far as I know.

Yes, Halloween stuff is popping up now in stores here too. I know the Urban Dictionary's definition of Augtober focusses on weather, but other meanings focus on the early celebration of Halloween instead, which is the definition I prefer!
I hope your month is gentle.
Yes, I'm very paranoid that October is going to be crazy hot. I so hope not.
The past week has been glorious. Not what I've come to expect from Virginia Beach this time of year. But, I know that summer isn't done with us. And I also know there will be parts of October which will be horrendous.
We’ve had a very hot summer, so far. After a short break, temperatures are going back up to the 90s. Halloween stuff has been in the stores for a while here. I don’t pay much attention to it since we don’t do a lot of decorating for Halloween and we have what we need.
