.... that even 10C feels cold this late in the year. Was in various
places yesterday (Sat) that apparently got a max of around 10C from
Reading to the Midlands and in all cases it felt decidedly cold and
bleak. I guess I'm so used to persistent temps of around 12-13C in the
Southampton area that any drop from that feels relatively cold.

For a similar reason November didn't seem especially mild, except
round the 20th - just very very wet. Again habituation to the high
temperatures in October, which then did drop, though still to above
the seasonal norm, would account for this.

Sheesh, how on earth are you going to feel this time next week with that
biting easterly and 4 degrees!
