Yes! The stuff on lamb chops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Actually fat is important in a diet, particularly for children, but definately in very limited qauntities.

Started of sunny but now clouding over and looking like rain possibly coming in from the west as the clouds are much darker over there. Overnight minimum temp 9.4C. Currently 17.4C with a light breeze.

My second and third for competition.

Thanks Wibs, only asked as I took this photo today and would like to enter it. I was surprised to see one out so late in the year and am pleased with how the photo came out.

Do photos have to be of weather or can they be any nature photos taken in October?

A beautiful day today. Light breeze with sunshine and a hazy blue sky. Max temp today 20C. Overnight min temp 10.1C

overnight min temp of 8.2C and a few drops in rain gauge currently 14.7, cloudy but bright and almost completly calm ps. is the few drops in rain gauge dew as there is a quite heavy dew at the moment

Overnight had a few drops in rain gauge and a min temp of 7.8C Currently 13.7C, calm, bright with high cloud blocking about 60% of the sky

Now had 15mm rain since 9:30am, lots of reports of traffic chaos caused by the storm with roads closed because of localised flooding and the level crossing at Ford closed because lightning struck the box containing the equipment for lifting the barrier.

overnight thunder and lightning (2:30-4:00) and heavy rain with 15.9C min temp and 15.3 mm in rain gauge. currently heavy rain but dropping to moderate as time goes on, 16.2C and a moderate wind

Wow, since my last report just over 30 mins ago we have had another 7mm of rain, crossing the garden to check the gauge it was like a paddy field!

Woken at 2:35am by a storm that looked like it had been around a while as there were very frequent lightning and the thunder shook the house (takes that to wake me!) fierce storm for about 35 minutes then it seemed more to the south and rumbled on until gone 4:00am. Curses one and half hours sleep lost but worth it though Checked rain gauge and 15mm rain overnight, not surprised as it was extremely heavy for quite a while even before I fell asleep again. Overnight minimum temp a very warm 15.3, currently 16.1C and very stormy looking clouds,still raining.

Now that was a good show!

I read somewhere that Jupiter acts as a 'sweeper' for earth, either swallowing up most large objects or diverting them, anyone know any more about this?

1mm rain and min temp of 14.6C overnight with heavy mist at 11:00pm currently 19.6C overcast with sun occasionally breaking through and very light breeze

Just noticed this topic and find it very interesting. It's always a good thing the earth is where it is or perhaps a few on here would get more of a winter than they bargained for

Can anyone tell me what is the relationship between the hole in the ozone layer and 'global warming'? I only ask because I read somewhere that the hole was repairing itself and wondered whether this would have any effect of the climate.

Well they have to be right one day probably be in 20 years time though. Oh I would soooo love it to be true but I would rather coldest winter for 45 years

Overnight minimum temp 13.6C Current temp 16.2C Overnight rain 2mm. Near calm and overcast sky, with sun just trying to break through.

Sunshine and cloud, light breeze. Overnight minimum temp 10.5C Current temp 17.2C

Overnight minimum 6.8C, current temp 16.1C Sunny and breezy, a beautiful day.

overnight minimum temperature 7.8C and no rain. currently 8.5 clear skys and very light breeze.

A very wet, windy and squally day until 200pm the a lovely bright and breezy day. Max temp 16.9 rainfall 33mm

I had a grape vine in the garden for years but finally cut it down as every year it suffered from mould, however I reckon this was more to do with the soil (brick earth) than humidity. On the south downs they flourish and Sussex vineyards produce some lovely wines as do vineyards in the Dorking area and in other Surrey vineyards. Certainly September has been an outstanding month with the sea temp still very warm down here, I was paddling a few days ago. However even today in a supposedly cooler spell the temp has been 17.6C and a lot of people are still wearing T shirts, me included so perhaps October will be warm too.
