Time to resurrect this thread, now it's November and getting colder. I have multiple neuropathies and I find that below temps of 10°C my hands get ice cold which is not good. That's why I personally hate anything below 10°C outside at any time.
Well it has locally been a wet month here, very wet indeed now with 50% above average rainfall so a wetter than average year also on the cards again which will make it the 4th above average rainfall year in the last 5 years.
It would be interesting to me statistically because late October is so boring.
I would find a big late October cold spell just as interesting because anything further from average is interesting to me as a weather fan.
So I'm surprised nobody's talking about this seeing how close to us it is. Nearly 30°C in France on 27th October. Is that a record? Wonder if a change in the synoptics might pump some more up this way. Temps locally for me have been between 12-16 degrees this month. Seeing 20+ in late October would be nice.
For all the wittering about lack of rainfall I can say Sheffield has been above average again for rain so far to the date, as with the previous few years. Probably helps that we had a downpour mid-August that many places avoided.
Still warm inside without heating at 18.9°C in the lounge supposedly. I slept with the window open in the bedroom last night to let it cool down to maybe 15 degrees.
