I suppose it begs the question when does an easterly start giving below average temps instead of above average. Second half of October?

This morning on one of the Dublin radio stations,the supposed cold winter ahead got a mention by the radio presenters,4 months of snow etc lol. Not that they were taking it too seriously but they did talk briefly about it all the same.

The coldest max of the season so far here today,14.1c. Its a nice clear and chilly evening here 8.6c currently after a day of sunshine and some heavy showers. i wish more sept days were like this.

A lovely clear cool autumnal morning ,min temp last night 5.6c,the lowest ive recorded since May. Its a morning like this morning were i feel like autumn has arrived.

last week i thought the models were at times hinting of a chilly first week of Oct, those hints have this week gathered some momentum for early Oct.

A nice autumnal feel to this morning here with it being quite misty. Temp 9.2c

I know there isnt much point talking about the last chart since it is for Oct 3rd ,but that hp would not be too much on the warm side. So that last chart would not be what one would call an indian summer chart.

This chart a long way out of course but the hp north of scandi and some hp over greenland caught my eye. Ive been thinking the last day or two looking at some of the charts of a possible chilly first week of Oct. Just a thought anyway.

Got a max of 21.1 c yesterday,I hope thats the last time I see temps in the 20s till well into next spring. A nice fairly fresh and mostly clear morning here,lasts nights min 9.4c.

Lol. Well Just a few more days for you to stick it out,more fresher for all at the weekend looks likely ATM. Autumn will get you eventually! Lol

A mostly cloudy but refreshing day here,currently 16.8c. The heat lovers can go stuff their heat.

My thoughts exactly. It might be all well and good for those who are looking forward to the heat much of the UK will get this week,but to me it's just yet more signs that the climate is changing. I also worry is the warmth there has been so far this month going to set an overall precedent for the coming months. Is it telling us the coming winter is going to be another stinker???? Those enjoying the warmth now but who also want a cold winter maybe should not be so smug in the current weather. Often you can't have your cake and eat it. How many decent winters in the last 20 odd yrs have followed warm autumns? Very few,off the top of my head only winter 2009/10 comes to mind.

I find it a bit disturbing tbh,gw and all that. Anyway looks like my neck of the woods will be avoiding much of the heat britan will get next week thankfully.

Funny isn't it ,those egging on the Azores high now,but in a few weeks time they will be cursing the bloody thing lol. Keep it the hell out of the way if possible IMO

But the charts that were shown are from June 2016,they aren't from 1880. ??????

The heat the charts show for France would surely be incredible for mid Sept if they came off. Scary if they do.

It was 17.8c here a couple of hrs ago but has since risen to 19.5c. Starting to rain here now,presume the band that will hearald the arrival of the fresher weather behind it.

For Oct ,I would like fantasy thoughts of deep northerlies from the Arctic giving Frost's and wintry precip. Haven't Autumn's been warm enough in recent yrs without the likes of that though? Summer had its chance. People egging on autumn warmth and heat and all this warmth would do is show us if proof were needed just how much our climate is changing IMO. No thanks

Today felt a bit surreal for a sept day,I recorded a max of 25.9 c which was higher then anything I recorded during the summer of last yr.

Today felt a bit surreal for a Sept day for my location. Felt like a warm spell during the middle of summer,Max temp of 25.9c which was warmer then any day during the summer of 2015. It wasn't as if it was wall to wall sunshine either as often it was partly cloudy here today.

= sweat. The sooner this stuff is out of the way the better imo.

God help us if that idiot gets elected,I have faith though that he won't. Idiots like him think for some reason they know better then scientific research ect,when the reality is they haven't a clue what they are talking about. Laughable but scary at the same time.

Bright and dry this morning,warm night last night . Min of 18.0c ,currently 18.4c.

Don't think they would make very good detectives as the evidence is staring us in the face. For people still in denial about man having an effect look what happened with the ozone layer due to man's use of CFC,s should be proof enough that mans activity can have an effect on the atmosphere.

very muggy here too,temp 20.9c. To hell with this. Come on autumn show your face soon.
