I suspect the last week of November will turn chilly, but if it doesn't
it certainly could be one of the warmest recorded. Including today
(15th), I am currently 2.1°C above the average and with temperatures
forcast at 15°C+ for at least 3 days this week, it should continue to
climb. My November max to beat is 18.5°C from 8th November 1978. Now
that would be an interesting thought, given the winter of 1979 ;-)
My warmest mean max year with 13.0°C was 1994, I'm currently 12.2°C

Also it's been particularly wet for my neck of the woods with 37.6mm in
the last 3 days, in fact I was quite surprised to hear the rain in the
early hours of today (Sunday) (11.2mm)(Shoeburyness only 5.4mm). Monthly
total currently standing at 71.0mm (2.80") (131%). My wettest November
was 2002 with 99.0mm, so it is possible this maybe beaten, as long as
Dawlish's European High holds off grin

Sunshine also creeping up with 74% already recorded for the month (54.05
hours).

Interesting times again.
