When would you like your first lows in the 40s? (hot, warmest)

Just happened in Massachusetts.
I could use another couple weeks.
I used to live in High Alpine Desert Colorado where it went from 40 to 90 every day. Hated it.

Average first lows in the 40’s: August 9

Average last lows in the 40’s: June 27.

Don’t worry, The highs climb to 70 or 80 °F in the afternoon.

A massive heat wave in 1995 caused the 40’s lows to be delayed to late September-early October.

October’s highest minimum was 44 °F on October 2, 1960. No night minimum has been recorded above 40 °F on October 8-April 14.

Sometime in late September/early October. I like to use the first few weeks of September as summer. By October, I'm ready for football and cooler weather.

I like lows below 10C/50F to start in late September. I really like those days we sometimes get in October and November where the morning is 2C/36F and the afternoon is 18C/64F. Where I live you can get lows below and highs above 10C/50F at any time of year.

First week of October.

mid september for the first one and early october for the average would be great, but usually it's quite a bit later for both.

No sooner than mid September, which ironically is when Indianapolis’ first low temperatures in the 40’s happen on average.....

I'd take cold (minus freezing precipitation) year round if I could! I just love the crisp air.

Heating the house while above freezing doesn't take much. The difference between summer and late fall is that in the fall, their air is nice and dry both inside and outside

I would be fine with lows in the 40s in summer. I just visited the Mount Shasta, CA area and they had a 91/49 day on the 23rd. Average highs in the 80s/90s with lows in the 40s is not uncommon across the western US.

That's desert weather! If we have 90's in the day, it's still low 70's at night.

The only way we're getting into the 40's at night on the East coast is if the highs are 50's-60's.
