Early indications suggest this will be the warmest autumn since 2006
in the city, the only autumn warmer than this since 1892.

It is interesting that you only find this the second warmest autumn.
Here in Dorset it feels like the warmest ever. Daffodils are
threatening to bloom, and I saw a rhododendron flowering in the New
Forest yesterday.


Autumn flowering rhododendrons are not unusual. But there are more
unusual out of season flowers around at the moment - e.g. Forsythia.

The period from January 2006 to April 2007 was a period of prolonged
warmth in the UK - it broke annual, 12 month, and, IIRC, monthly records
for 4 out of 12 months. I wouldn't be surprised if seasonal records were
also set in that period.

Cheers, Alastair.



it is a record
