  1. It’s been much wetter than a normal autumn.
  2. November has seemed quite sunny so far - no complaints from me.
  3. To be fair, Scandinavians actually refer to Europe as a separate entity like we do. People from Sweden or Norway going on holiday to France or Spain will say they're 'going to Europe' or 'going to the continent'. I suppose it's because it's quite detached from the rest of Europe.
  4. One actually dived into my garden last year, attempting to get some leftover chicken I gave to the crows & magpies. It was quite the sight!
  5. We had a heavy shower around 11am but it’s been a pleasant day barring that, long sunny spells. It was lovely watching the red kites dance around in the sky. Feel very fortunate to live in an area with so many!
  6. Nice day after a few showers this morning, currently mostly sunny and 10C
  7. 12C and sunny, perfect November weather. I’d take this weather all winter tbh.
  8. Doesn't look bad at all to me, at least here in Leeds. Plenty of sunshine on offer, probably a few showers too. Certainly no washout, and a massive improvement over the dross we had in October.
  9. Today was actually very nice here with plenty of sunshine. I didn’t realise I was one of the top posters on this thread. I apologise to everyone.
  10. The forecast for the next 7 days actually looks decent enough. Some sunshine is forecast every day except Saturday (which currently looks like a washout). Hopefully a sign of things to come. We just need average sunshine amounts and November will end up comfortably sunnier than October here.
  11. I will take mild & dry too. Really just anything that isn’t rain, rain and more rain!
  12. That one very wet day did account for a lot of Octobers rain, but we still had 17 days of rain here which is a lot (our average is 10).
  13. This October (157mm) was significantly wetter than October 2000 (115mm) here.
  14. Looking at the above sunshine stats for London & Coventry really hammers home how unbelievably dull October was here. We had around 60 hours - which is an abysmal 55% of the average, undoubtedly one of our dullest Octobers ever. We were so unlucky. Hopefully November is a better month.
  15. Today was actually quite nice - sunny spells and a high of 14C. More rain to come though, sigh.
  16. October finished on 156mm here. Astonishingly wet. And it's the second month this year to have over 100mm (after July). Crazy to get two exceptionally wet months so close to one another. Bearing in mind that not a single month of the year here exceeds 60mm of rain on average - our average annual rainfall is 603mm and I'm confident we've exceeded that comfortably already. I better not see anyone worrying about drought next year after a couple of dry months.
  17. I don’t remember ever losing power because of the weather to be honest. Closest I’ve come is losing the TV signal during thunderstorms lol
  18. There aren't many Octobers duller than this one here. Today demonstrates why - just band after band of rain stuck over us, always coinciding with the daytime, taking ages to clear. I think Yorkshire has had the worst luck in the country this month. Leeming (north of York) looks likely to finish the month at 59.7 hours, Leconfield (near Hull) at 62.1 hours. Atrociously dull, similar to a typical December or January.
  19. Our biggest fall of Nov/Dec 2010 was on the 1st of December. The streamer that had affected South Yorkshire moved north during the morning and gave us about 6 inches of snow (on top of the snow we already had) before dissipating in the afternoon. Leeds was in total chaos & all buses in the city were cancelled. We ended up with about a foot of snow, the deepest since 1995.
  20. It feels like a dreary spell of weather in January or something. Just horrible.
  21. Another dull, wet day here. Cold too, with a high of 9.1C. We are now at 147mm for the month & 17 days have recorded more than 1mm of rain. I am seriously fed up of this now.
  22. The south coast is pretty wet from October to January to be fair, though obviously not usually this wet.
  23. Did you encounter the infamous Florida Man? Florida Man - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  24. Most of England is warmer than Plymouth in the summer to be fair lol, at least in terms of maximum temperatures
