We're up to 23C at the moment with quite a nice breeze.
How about everyone else?

[EdithWeston]

No idea of temperature, but it's lovely and bright and sunny.

I thought people migh be interested in this BBc article which explains how the term "Indian summer" originated.

[GloriaSmud]

Edith ~ that's a great article. I love all the expressions used to describe fine weather at different times of the year!

Temperature seems to have risen a little in the last 1/2 hour ~ up to 25C now (Leicester Forest East side of Leicester )

[Haberdashery]

27 in SW London but it feels a lot hotter than that!

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I can't read the articles, I'm too busy sulking. I hate this bloody weather, it's most unfair that I have to put up with it in pigging October

And I'm trying to do DD's school applications and it's too hot to think. If she gets stuck with a shit school I'm blaming the weather.

[GloriaSmud]

And Gravesend broke the October record ~ 29.9C!

[LynetteScavo]

27 in the midlands.

It's wrong, I tell ya! Just wrong.

[JajasWjolef]

I just love this weather sooo very much, I would love to live like this all the time. Being outside eating at 8pm and feeling warm is just bliss. 28 degrees this afternoon - perfect .

It is wrong in October though it has to be said.....

[GloriaSmud]

Jajas, it has been lovely ~ just been to a BBQ at my Mum and Dads and it's a weird feeling to be sitting outside doing that on October 1st!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I got to 29.2C on my weather station but Gravesend has smashed the record with a whopping 29.9C recorded. Very impressive!

We've had it warm but cloudy in Cumbria . Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous but I was at work. I would have loved to lie out sunbathing today 1st October, so very of you all further south.
