I notice that the October maximum is 29.5 from Cambridgeshire in 1985.
Countryfile mootes 27s on Friday (30th October) - I wonder if anywhere will
get near. Gravesend?

Off to a wedding on Saturday - I doubt my friend would have planned for
(potentially) such good weather in October!

Possible record maxes are usually my territory. Glad someone else
takes an interest.

Daily maxes end of Sept/Start of Oct, from Torro. Not the most
truestworthy site, as they take a long time to update their records,
but the best source I know of.

SEPTEMBER
29 27.8 82 York 1895; 27.6/81.6 Nottingham 1895
30 27.8 82 Maidenhead (Berks) 1908

OCTOBER
� C F �
1 29.4 84.9 March (Cambs) 1985
2 28.1 82.6 Whitby (N Yorks) 1908

I don't see records myself. I think we'll be at least a couple of
degrees short on each day, but we have a very warm spell of weather
coming up. I hope we get a record, as records - and the synoptic
reasons for them - are just so interesting.

BTW I don't think individual records have anything to do with GW, but
when you collate the numbers of local and national max records set
worldwide in 2010 and compare it to the number of local and national
minimum records being set, you see how they fit the trend very well:

In that year the maxima recorded on 1 Oct in Cambridge/East
Anglia etc were the highest of the year, which is very unusual and
show what a poor summer 1985 was.
The maximum here was 25.2° which exceeded anything in September
or August but there were a couple of higher max's in July. On 31 Oct
1985 I recorded a max of 6.8° which remained a record low max for
October until 29 Oct 2008 with 6.5°.

snow on the ground.

Was 31 Oct 1985 the day when Jersey had a remarkably early snowfall,
thanks to a very cold easterly with only a short sea track?

.... true for the UK, but for the record, 30.1°C was recorded on the
13th July at St. Helier, Jersey.

==============================================

The maximum temperature on 31 October 1985 at Jersey airport was 3 deg
C, at the time the lowest October maximum at a lowland site in the
British Isles for 40 years (gleaned from Philip Eden). It might still
be.

Models showing more possibilities that UK date records will be
approached on Thurs/Fri this week. 27/28C is certainly not impossible.
Quite remarkable forecast temperatures for the last days of September!
