Autumn

I read somewhere that Spring spreads northwards from Cornwall towards Scotland at about 3.5 mph. Does Autumn do the same but from Scotland, south, to Cornwall?

What I mean is: Spring measured by the flowering of certain spring flowers like snowdrops, daffodils etc. and Autumn by the leaves changing colour and falling from the trees.
I believe so, autumn & winter always come earlier in northern latitudes but whether it is at the same rate as spring is another matter (BTW it's about 0.3 mph not 3.5)
Fitzer, that is too slow, at that rate, the north of Scotland wouldn't have any time left for summer.

The actual advance is around 100 miles a week / 16 miles a day / 0.7 mph

Yes, G-W, Autumn will move south at the same rate.

That assumes of course that everything else is equal, but we all know the fickle British weather and the advance will vary unless the whole country experiences the same weather systems.
it all sounds a bit discworld when you desribe it like that... but you can tell when you go north/south on a motorway there is a definite difference
