Could Have Guessed

Wednesday finished off October and just like the majority of days this month it was cool and cloudy with some rain in the evening.

For us October hasn't been particularly wet with rainfall for the month around 75% of that expected but we may well be the exception with many other locations receiving well above their average monthly rainfall. The main feature has been the cool temperatures throughout the month with the final average of 8.9°C making it the coldest October since 1992. We've also had a distinct lack of sunshine with less sunshine than the previous two Octobers. The same can be said for June through to September.

This summer’s certainly been a major disappointment. After that brilliant start in March and a sunny May thoughts were of a great growing year but in the end it turned out to be a difficult and challenging season.
