Lovely and fresh today. It's really enjoyable when it's cool without a cutting wind.

Sounds like it may be dry for a good few weeks too, pretty good for this time of year.

Thought I might be in with the lowest sunshine month ever , but next week looks like spoiling that 

Yeah naff start for you guys! Tomorrow will be our 3rd grey day in a row with no sun but after, hopefully the whole country can enjoy the pleasant October sunshine

October 2020 was lower

It's been deceptively warm today down here. Had a parents evening to go to, put a jumper on cause of how cloudy it was, but because yesterday's chilly wind was gone, was to warm in it.

Now there's a warm breeze starting to blow, and a few drops of rain falling, and still to warm for a jumper.

Think the person who said I need hrt is right tbh.

Oct 2020 was duller than Oct 2023 (so far) for me

Despite being very warm, the start of October has been very dull.. even duller than the first 12 days of Oct 2019. Today was a chilly one, but will be the highest sunshine total of the month so far. 

[raz.org.rain]

Very close to single digits here, sitting at 10°c.

[Wold Topper]

Currently 8°c and very still out, won't get as chilly as last night imby with the incoming rain i would imagine...

Your all hot flushy poor chook. I need HRT too for night time. As I'm the same as you just at night. I sleep in shorts and t-shirt even in the -10c we had last winter. I just sleep under a sheet.

[Mapantz]

17°C and very wet now.

Nice hearing the rain outside while the windows are open.

[Freeze]

Still 17c like it has been all day, rain now starting to fall heavy!

I wonder if anyone does bonfires anymore? I used to love that thick smog that would linger into the next day. I remember people would dump all sorts in those piles, everything from sofas to mattresses. It seems like only a few places like pubs with land bother these days.

I'm going to call lack of mad fires burning whatever anyone fancies a good thing...

What rain, lol only joking, but seriously it's so light yet again, that it not really doing anything at all here. At least there was some decent rain last night.

13.2mm here.

And here's the moment it found it's way 10cm down to the sensor 

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Desperately hanging on to the precious warmth. Summer fading away  to the dark and cold. Awful. 

[alexisj9]

Raining properly now, looks like this comes up over us, and then showers behind in a warm southerly flow, followed by a cold fron tomorrow evening.

A few graphs from my station:

 

 

Interesting to see how the air quality dramatically changed at that time.

[Alderc 2.0]

Ultra mild in the south. 19C here and 20C at Lydd airport the warmth is hanging on….just.

When I was a kid, Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night was always a bigger deal than Hallowe'en....... Lots of organised displays, 'penny for the guy', etc 

Now thanks to the US, we're bombarded all October with Hallowe'en tat.....

[Freeze]

20c at 8.30 in the morning middle of October.

[Weatherman_93]

Bit damp, bit breezy, bit mild. Perfect Autumn day.
