Certainly warm for late October but nothing like a record for
southern England in October. Highest here (since 1983) on the Downs in
east Surrey was 25.2°C on 1 October 1985. 29°C was recorded in
London in early October 1959, which is the UK record, I believe.

Lovely day in the central lowlands also.
Maximum at this site of +19.0ºC today. Glasgow and Edinburgh reporting 20ºC.
Certainly the warmest day during the 2nd half of October in my 12 years of
recording.

Managed 18.8ºC here on November 7th a couple of years ago, which is equally
or perhaps even more outstanding.
