Preemptive melancholy

This is what I said last year to my Italian friend on Facebook (I know about it thanks to my Memories feed): "August is the month of preemptive melancholy." She was sharing the same feelings I have about this time of year. I think it sums up pretty well what is August and it deserves to be a great unknown line. In the meantime, I coin the term "preemptive melancholy".
