for october in the south of england?

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.

I recorded 23.3C on 10th October this year in Canterbury, so nowhere
near a record. I think they mentioned that it would have to get to 23C
for it to be a record for the 27th October.

I've recorded 20 degrees in October on several occasions, including twice
this year (20.0 on 5th, 20.1 on 15th)

My highest October temperature this decade being 22.1 on 13th Oct 2001.

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.

This is where monthly stats fall over, because 21 C is probably no big
deal for the 1st to 7th of October, but 27th?

5 more days and we will be in November, and how many 21Cs have there
been in that month, even on the 1st?

17.7 here on the Isle of skye, still 16.6 at 5.30pm

Nice 12 ml walk across the Wolds of East Yorkshire. Pleasant on the tops at
500 ft, not as windy as the national 5 live fx was implying, but
uncomfortably warm in the sheltered green lanes!!

Roughly where did you go, Trevor....? Mind you, I do hope the rain isn't
going to be as bad as thought for Sunday, as I'm supposed to be leading a
party around Hornsea and the Mere during the morning...
