Hi everyone. East Lancs Rain here. Can’t sign into my other account so using this one instead. It’s a wet evening out there, currently 11.2°C and raining heavily. Was planning to do a night walk up Pendle hill for Halloween but decided to stop in instead because of the bad weather. This unexpected rain is really badly timed as it will spoil it for a lot of kids trick or treating.
October is usually the most average and boring month of the year, nothing particularly warm or cold. Just persistent mildness. Especially this year.
Yes it has been quite a benign October. Temperatures have been almost persistently above average. Despite this, there has been no exceptionally mild days, it has been consistently highs of 13-16°C, with quite a lot of rain.
