Monday started off dull, misty and cold. Whilst we probably just avoided a frost with an overnight low of 3.7°C it was pretty cold all morning. The mist hung on into the afternoon.
So October is carrying on where September left off with some cool weather for early autumn. As it wasn’t too pleasant outside I decided to update my records for autumn 2012 and see how it compared with past seasons. At the moment if we consider September, October and November as the three autumn months 2012 is certainly on the cold side.
The table above shows the warmest, coldest, and expected autumn temperatures for the 09 October for each individual record. It’s easy to see that we’re much nearer the temperatures for the coldest autumn in 50 years than we are to last year’s average or indeed the expected average. The temperature in the table is the average daily temperature for the 39 days between 01 September and 09 October for each autumn season. Could we be in for a strange October in which the temperature increases as we head through the month towards winter rather than falling as expected?

It's certainly a much nicer day today, though it's still rather cold.
