Won't happen ...

[Freeze]

Just had an extremely heavy shower and gusty winds, now this is exciting weather! 

[damianslaw]

My ideal October is a very mixed month. One that becomes progressively cold. A couple of stormy spells, first air frosts of the season, first bit of snow on the fells, first properly cold feeling day, a late burst of warmth and sunshine before mid month. Not too much to ask..

Yes - 20th Jan this year a classic example.

Can't recall that one. I remember 16 Dec 10 that was a super cold front that brought sub freezing max behind it.

Woke up with a blocked nose and blocked ear. Feels very cold in the flat. Wearing a jumper now on top of my t shirt, and light jacket. Pitch black darkness going to work.

The long dark journey to March has begun.

I would like a few warm days nudging 20c if possible, but it’s not always a guaranteed.

Always good to get out in the Grizedale and Whinlatter Forest trails - seasonal leafiness and all that.

This is exactly how I feel. I now start the wait for Spring.  Every winter, I develop a longing to escape the winter for the warmth of Spain.  Last year, I didn't feel that way thanks to the pandemic!

I don't like the darkness, or when we get into a conveyor belt of relentless Atlantic lows that bring the wind and rain.  I can cope better when it is calm and cold with a haw frost for example or when snow is lying on the ground helping to brighten things.

The one good thing about climate change is you can now get 20C days in Oct and March, and occasionally in Nov.  We have even had one in Feb! (2019)  

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Absolutely hideous out there.Lashing it down. Dark already. 13c. March 2022 seems a long long way off. 

[Freeze]

Rain just about to reach here been dry all day so far, not too cold either at 18c but it's pretty windy.

[MP-R]

I’m still not done looking for warm dry weather. Keep in mind we had October back in May so we’ve got plenty of autumnal weather in the bank already.

Today, however, could literally be December. Daytime darkness almost, lights on and pouring rain. Much like August, it looks like most of September’s rainfall is going to fall in just a few days.

This is the thing. 

I didn't mind last winter, as it provided at least some steady cold and dry periods, with some cold sunny frosty days. I hated the winter before with constant wind and rain once or twice a week for several months.

[Weather Enthusiast91]

Loving the change in weather and experiencing something more akin for the time of year. Obviously I don't want the rain to go on for weeks on end, but for now I am absolutely loving it as we haven't had a proper rainy day for quite some time.

I am hoping we'll have a mixed autumn this year but with seasonal temps, and no more blocking patterns.

I have no idea how anyone can prefer this filth compared to the 22-25C we’ve generally been seeing this month.

I quite like it for mountain biking around the forest and getting muddy.

First day of very heavy rain during daylight hours at least for many many weeks. Significant totals, which is pleasing given how low the reservoirs and rivers are now. Definate shift in feel of things this week, from last week's balmy late summerness, to almost dark late autumness, a day that wouldn't feel out of place in late November.

[stainesbloke]

2 bouts of extremely heavy rain here today, once from a shower at lunchtime and this evening from more prolonged precipitation. 

[MP-R]

Wettest day of the year here. Not surprised at all!

[BruenSryan]

No showers here today, lots of sunshine as Dublin loves to get when there's low pressure around! Loving the fresh autumn feel, it was about time. 

[philglossop]

Kalimera from Zakynthos! 
 

As my Greek friends are telling me, the weather here is heading down towards Winter and we are only getting temps into mid 20s now with thunderstorms expected. 
 

Gather Autumn has hit Plymouth with some flash flooding yesterday!

Lol you have that right.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the autumn chill, when it’s accompanied by clear sunny days, and I type this now as the sun is coming up after a clear cold night.

But, the warm weather we had recently, is something I would class as seasonal weather. The cool autumn stuff, is more suited to October and November.

The warm weather up until last week was something we most of us needed, after the horrid summer of cloud and damp.

The autumn weather will dominate soon enough.

Will be time to use the excuse of staying indoors and watching films until March.
