Never known an October like it (although I was just 4 in 1969).
Some local stats: mean max to today 18.3°C, amazing when you think there have been no really warm days like 2011. 2007, 1985 etc (highest max only 20.5°C)
Lowest max 15.3°C on 11th
Number of days below 17°C = just 4. 16 out of 23 days have been 18°C or more. That despite many of them being showery/ rainy.
Mean min also high but not worth posting as I take my readings around 7am, meaning warm nights following cool nights often register as another cool night.
Not to mention anomalously high number of thundery days for this time of year- off thread. Oops- did just mention it. Had to squeeze it in there.
