Where are you incidentally? I actually remember last October in the

a spring month: a lot of the rain was in showers, and winds were
often
from between west and north meaning clear, sharp skies without the
mugginess often typical of an autumn month.

Seems since we got spring weather last October, we're getting autumn
weather - but without the leaves - now :-(

Shrewsbury. In a normal October we can expect an airfrost or two, and a
few warmish (high teens C) sunny days.
October 2004 had day after day of low pressure, moderate rain spells,
low grey cloud and temps around 8-13C. No frost, no warmth. Wind
direction variable. One thunderstorm (rare in October) was the only
break in the monotony. I commented at the time on the lack of
temperature range, almost throughout it was 10-14 by day, 6-9 by night.
Extreme range from 2 to 16 - we had a bigger range than that in a day
at least once last week. "Clear, sharp skies" were totally and utterly
absent.
