I don't think they are. I don't think this high pressure is going to go away for ages.

2010 would be brill.

Really getting sick of this crap. Just want some proper October weather now. Its so depressing.

So you say that its gonna be 21c and sunny here next week? Right... Well i'm not gonna bet on that happening.

Um??? And why not...

10 air frost! Dear god

Ballykelly reahced -13c and st angelo -17c i think. Agree here I think I could've reached -25c if it had've continued for another 10 days or so. The problem in british isles is every time we get near -20 or -30c the cold ends.

Now is this for England or is it British isles wide?

really where was that?

I would agree with that except I would say that the sun has a weaker strength in September than May and so 20c does not feel the same.

I have no idea how you would do that. I am still finding difficulty after all this time, tbh most of the members just post charts and say 'oh this would be brilliant for cold or warmth' but they don't explain why. I don't know what a cloudy or clear high would look like i'm just basing it on experience on where I live and usually here the azores high will bring cloud and low diurnal ranges. As for what makes it a cloudy high? Not got a clue but i'm going to take a wild guess and say that the moisture from the atlantic (azores high) produces high humidity which is condensed into clouds and since the sun is not strong enough the cloud just stays for days on end.

Off topic but first frost date here is Mid-October so it is not long to we experience our first frost here normally. - From current date.

Well it reached -18c here at my location in December 2010 on the last night of the cold spell. It is my opinion that if the cold spell had've continued, each night would have got progressively colder and I think temps such as -25c would have been quite common over time.

Room temp is 20c so fine.

Yea but it's October and not August. Maybe you didn't notice but it's warmer in the British isles more than it is colder so I think we've already had ample warmth it's about time we have some cold. So no there actually is not ample time for cold. All i'm asking for is frosts and sunshine, i'm not expecting snow or anything just some cold nights i.e not 12c...

12c well above average.

But what is so good about 18c and cloud in mid-October? Isn't about time we have some more autumnal weather???

Lets hope so I think my average date is like 12th October but I am thinking this year it's gonna be November which isn't common here. Average first snow is 2nd week November I think.

17c seems pretty warm to me for October.

Its only epic if you want a contiuation of cloud and very mild temps. You see I wouldn't mind the high pressure if it brought sunshine and frosts, but thats not going to happen.

Which is always the case.

If that is the case it will not be long until the siberian snow spreads to Moscow then.

The average high for today is 14c. The average high for today is 14c.

Yes its October an autumn month. By 15th October my average high is 9c not 20c. I do not want 20c and sunshine in a month with single figure average highs. As someone said earlier I prefer my seasons to be seasons.
