Checking out the monthly weather records for this month, I came across
an interesting statistic, well interesting for saddos like me that is!

The warmest day of this month in Coventry has just been 16.5C (24th) -
this is the lowest such value here since 1974, even though this will be
an October that is warmer than the 30-year mean (+0.3C).

Here is a list of the lowest monthly maxima for Coventry since 1892 for
comparison:

1892= 16.1C
1905= 15.0C
1918= 16.3C
1932= 15.8C
1944= 15.3C
1952= 15.6C
1974= 13.7C

Well, I found it interesting anyway:-)

I know what you mean. Something to do with mild nights Steve. My garden
still thinks its August I reckon, with everything about to give another
bloom. The roses haven't a clue that it's November in a few hours time.
