In an earlier blog, I mentioned how my preference for autumnal weather is the wet and windy variety - something we're expecting to re-appear by around Tuesday to WednesdayÌýnext week.

My kind of Autumn weather: A howling gale, depicted here in a photo by Paul BowermanÌýof the Second Severn Crossing.

I'm always conscious on-air how describing the prevailing weather as "good", "pleasant", "bad" or such-like isÌýlikely to rile some viewers or listeners.ÌýAfter all, one person's "lovely" weather is another person's day of misery. Not everyone loves the autumnal sunshine (it's true, I assure you - and I have the emails to prove it!) and I know many people in the West Country who positively crave for thunderstorms, torrential downpoursÌýand howling gales.

Autumn is, of course, a season of changeÌýthat often delivers spells of varied weather to everyone's tastes. The recent settled spell - with some glorious blue skies - has certainly satisfied many of our Points West audienceÌýwith a photographic leaning. I've received some wonderful images lately, of early mist - beneath colourful dawn skies - shrouding fields across the Somerset Levels and the vales of Gloucestershire. Super stuff.

Benign and beautiful: William Saywell's image of mist and radiation fog beneath the rising sun of an Autumn anticycloneÌýcaptures the essence ofÌýthis seasonÌýfor many people.

I dare say next week will yield a crop of photos depicting more inclement weather and as ever,ÌýI'll do my best to show some of these on my weather bulletins.

Meantime, I've been asking our audience on Breakfast ShowÌýfor theirÌýseasonal likes and dislikes during Autumn.Ìý

Dave Fear in Hanham, for example,Ìýtells me that Autumn is not his favourite season. "That accolade goes to the birth and freshness brought withÌýthe onset of Spring," he says.

But the Autumn, in his evocative words, conjurs-up images of "...shorter days, dampness, cobwebs and garden mildew."

"On the brighter side," he adds, "it's also a wonderful array of colour."

"But then there's Bonfire Night - and all those bangs - and the dreaded Halloween 'Trick or Treat'."

"I'm being a bit of a grump, aren't I?", Dave asks rhetorically.

Nope. If you want to witness a true meteorological Scrooge, Dave, just wait for my delight when the howling wind and driving rain returns!

Grounded: Tim Davis captured this ghostly image of a C-130 Hercules shrouded in denseÌýAutumn fog at RAF Lyneham, Wiltshire.
