Leaves are turning yellow and the weather is rapidly cooling. Sunny days have a chilly bite to them and the nights are downright cold. The weather changes in the mountains much sooner than in the city. I saw my first yellow leaf up by Medeo weeks ago. Now most of the trees in Almaty have turned a beautiful gold. 
I catch the bus in the dark both directions now, and sometimes I don't see the mountains at all until I get to work and the sun comes up. The street lights turn off at the earliest moment of morning twilight and I often catch their fade as I sit on the morning bus.
The heaters are on (thank goodness - or the city planners) and I almost got out my winter coat this morning. At the last minute I traded it for a warm sweater and my fleece jacket when the thought of a heavy winter jacket in the middle of October proved too depressing.
This is Autumn in Almaty.
