2nd October 2011 Weather & General Chat

[AderynCoch]

Bah, now I know how Scotland and Ireland have been feeling these past few days. It's like 23rd April all over again with the ridiculous contrast in temperatures either side of the cold front. I know it had to end some time, but I was really expecting Sunday to put up more of a fight here. A wasted day.

At least it will be interesting to see if somewhere in the SE hits 30C.

After a cloudy day so far with the temperature around 19c we now have one or two light showers of large raindrops.

It's a sign of things to come.

[Isolated Frost]

16.6c currently after a high of 17.7/8c today. Overcast and wet all day.

[Updraft]

All the weather sites seemed to suggest it was 28c here at 3pm. 27c now. I'm not so sure it is true or not as today feels much more comfortable than it did yesterday.

Definitely, it happened in September 1895, October 1908 and October 1921. Just to name examples from a similiar period in the calendar.

There were 6 consecutive date minima records broken just last December

What is the longest stretch daily max and min records?

Always on the boundary of the cloud, it brightened up very nicely around lunchtime and for a part of the afternoon .However cloudier now, possibly signalling the end of this amazing spell. Max temp 22 in Mumbles, as always a degree or 2 warmer here.
