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.

"Wet " must depend on what one regards as normal. The total here
for the three days of this cyclonic event was 67.2 mm. The November
average is 86 mm and the wettest 2002 with 170 mm. There was 162 mm
in November 2000. This place is surprisingly wet, with an annual mean
of 815-820 mm.
