It's 23 degrees in the NW. This isn't normal.

It’s normal. Not usual but normal. I’m 40 and can remember lots of Indian summers, maybe you’re too young to remember OP?

Im so relieved anyway as my boiler is fucked.

25C in London. So fed up of it now. My room is like a sauna.
This isn't normal at all and I am really hoping that tomorrow is the end of it.

I'm in Essex and it's unbelievable. It's the 8th of October ffs and I'm sitting hear sweating. I went for a walk earlier and it was like a muggy afternoon in mid-July. Over the last year or so I've become genuinely scared about climate change.

Thoroughly disappointed here in the East Midlands - 18c and cloudy having been expecting 22c and sunny according to the weather forecast.

I'm in Tamworth - it's been sunny and hot - managed to get loads of washing dry!

Not unusual though - DD1's birthday is the 7th and we've had many hot birthdays! One when we went to London and we where sweltering on the tube sticks out and that was 12 years ago

Yeah let's party because the south is stupid hot and the north rather unusually wet - luckily no lives lost as far as we know

Imagine you are on a ski run
The start is quite gentle , a bit thrilling but nothing unpleasant

But there is a huge cliff coming up and you are hurtling towards it with glee

That's what's happening - and it seems that until you lose your home to flood or your child to heatstroke or any of the other hugely bad things that are baked into our future -you don't seem to be able to see that cliff - and when you get there you'll all be in here asking why nothing was done

26c here and I am in an amazing mood because of it!! Shortens the winter and is good for everyone. It’s like a summers day.

I'm usually wrong , but any nice weather in September was known as an ' Indian summer '
No idea why to be honest
Nice weather in October is unusual and it has been very warm ( south East)

I enjoyed a coffee this morning in the lovely sunshine ☀️

What on earth is @Kallister saying on a weather thread that is SO offensive to be deleted!?

I didn't see anything outside of posting about the weather changes and such. Pretty sure that isn't against the forum rules? Is a mod a climate denier maybe?

Don't diss Mother Nature.

Some nice weather is welcome as Summer was a rainy season more than a proper summer.

It's not unusual

I remember 20 years ago it was oct half term and the kids were out in shorts and t shirts. We were looking at old photos a few days ago and I remarked on it

This day last year was similiar to today

Yes it was, we went up to Edinburgh to look round the university for my sister and everyone was in shorts and t shirts and this would have been the very end of October, plus it was Scotland!

Christ it's only thr beginning of October! Hardly like it's mid December!!

19 on the north east coast - I don’t like this at all. I want proper autumn weather - it’s to be 18-19 overnight tonight 😫

It's only 16 in my part of the north east and we're usually warmer than the coast! It's funny old weather

Just looked and the warmest temp in London last October was 22. This was actually at the end of the month- a year ago the high was 19.

it is 25 degrees in London today

warm days in October are normal. Days this warm are not.
