mean temp=11.8C(10.5)

Avge Max=16.9C(14.3)

Avge Min=6.7C(6.:unsure:

( ) refers to the very long term average 1942-now; one day I'll get round to producing the last 20 years averages.

Highest daytime temperature=21.2C on 6th and coldest day was 20th with 11.3C

Warmest night was 3rd with 13.8C and coldest 2.2C on 9th

rainfall=29.6mm(VERY sheltered), wettest day=6th with 12.4mm; 0.2mm or more=13 and 1.0mm or more=8

No frost, snow, hail or thunder, 1 day with fog at 0900 clock time

The rather unusual statistic is the Avge Max temp; the highest October since I started recording in January 1997 but the mean temp was only the 4th highest-a good indication of just how pleasant many of the days have been.
