Why is it so warm?!

[MrsPear]

Ok i am in London uk and i appreciate that where you it could well be freezing but why is it so warm?!

No need for a jacket let alone coat. My friend sat in my garden in t shirt m jeans combo. It is October.

Can anyone explain?!

Global warming.

Our environment is changing, ans not for the better. I have to admit that I am finding going out without my winter coat at this time of year perplexing!

It's freezing and tipping rain in Glasgow!

It's sometimes is, and you're noticing it more as the date says October. Indian summers are a thing we know happens. About this time of year.

It's insanely hot (Hertfordshire) inside - I haven't shut my windows yet.

I was doing some chores last night and was dripping sweat.

I don't think we can attribute any particular event to climate change, however, it does contribute to an overall change in our weather.

It is very warm in the south. It's down to the position of a high pressure to our south pulling up warm air from the Mediterranean. It's not going to last though, over this weekend we become much more atlantic dominated and temps will be closer to seasonal norms.
