Lovely this morning, damp, cold. Only 6months to go until the nasty humid warmth returns.

No, just across Soton. I never leave here, lol

They've been in storage as I moved since last winter

I've been airing jumpers all day! The cold is here!

I'm going to call lack of mad fires burning whatever anyone fancies a good thing...

The ECM has been a bit better at picking up the right patterns recently, but as a cold fan, I shall hope for the GFS!

So grumpy

The sun has come out here, but humidex is still near 90%, so it's really oppressive feeling. Hope this nice cold snap arrives this far South for the weekend to blow all that out.

Says me!

An Omega pattern again. The GFS and ECM have both loved that pattern recently, and we've seen it come off. But, it's also possible they are just presenting a pattern and something else could come along that means that pattern doesnt go that way given the time frames. We'll see, but that sort of Southerly draw at the end of October would make me cry. Halloween needs to be cold and misty/foggy. Not warm!

I love when posts like that happen. One chart is posted saying 'oh look,X is happening!' Then the very next post has a different chart saying 'limited x, have y instead!'

To be fair, there are also those who only post the hottest ensembles they can find. People like what they like, people hope cast, and many look for extremes for interest. The bias is strong in both directions, you just have to find the posts worth reading in amongst the rest and remember it's just the weather

It's warm out, but overcast. Feels humid, not oppressively so, but getting there. Not really pleasant. Would rather have had a nice crisp autumn day over this clag. Models seem to suggest we'll be keeping the above average temps in the South, but lots and lots of rain incoming. I'd have definitely rather had the GFS' cold blast over days of heavy rain

Above average temps but wet. July is here again, in October...

Dont think we should use the term at all. Sounds far too positive. It should be 'a worrying period of unseasonable warmth, much higher and longer than average, highlighting once again that the world is warming, dangerously faster than predicted, and being able to wear a t-shirt for an weekend extra is not a good trade off!' Doesnt quite have the same ring to it though...
