Evesham October 1908.

[ANYWEATHER]

The last couple of days have seen some nice Autumn weather but back in the start of October 1908 all the country was experiencing a "Classic" Indian Summer with temperatures widely into the 70sf as was the case from this extract.... As can be seen from the synoptic chart back then the whole of the UK was affected by a big European high much more dominant than we have right now....

Interesting, but unlike now, 1908 was a pretty cool year.

For anyone looking for simularities between October heatwaves and winter cold spells (from which I believe there are ones) October 1908 ended up warm (11.8c CET) and the winter that followed was cold;

December 1908 3.9c

January 1909 3.5c

February 1909 2.9c

Add a degree onto todays climate.

Whitby was very warm during the early part of Oct 1908 as can be seen in this thread.
