AIBU to think that this warm weather is the sign of climate change?

I remember that around this time last year it was so cold and wet — it actually felt Christmassy. I went to my DC’s school Christmas fair, but this year it feels more like spring. It just doesn’t feel right.

Climate Change is real. The rain is relentless and it’s mostly mild.

BatchCookBabe · 30/11/2025 22:07

What warm weather?! Are you posting from Darwin in Australia?! 😆

It's been cold or very cold here for most of the last 2 months. Even September wasn't as mild as it sometimes is. The summer was hot, and dry, and sunny, but ya know....... it was summer! 😎🌻🌞

I'm in the North Midlands, and right now (just past 10pm) it's 4 degrees C (windchill is zero.) Over the past few days it has been even colder, and as someone else said, the cars have been frozen over most mornings for the past month!

Wales here. Some parts have had snow. Recently it was minus 1. Cold!!

NeverDropYourMooncup · 30/11/2025 22:06

It was 5C in London this morning. Just because the sun came out today, that doesn't mean it's warm.

Very cold last week though, and my DD has had a bit of snow in Durham (now melted.
The average UK temp today (5.7) was 2 degrees cooler than 2023 and 24, and 3.5 degrees cooler than 2022.

It's fecking freezing here

OldBeyondMyYears · 30/11/2025 22:01

It’s been bitterly cold in Lincolnshire, with night-time temperatures reaching -4 and barely above freezing during the day. Windchill has made it feel much colder this last week too!

Today has been a little warmer, reaching 5 degrees, and it’s now raining so probably won’t freeze overnight, with 2 degrees forecast.

I’d say these are normal temperatures for this time of year 🤷‍♀️

TidyCyan · 30/11/2025 22:00

It was 3 degrees here this morning and below zero for three days in late November. South West.

HappiestSleeping · 30/11/2025 21:59

It's not so much the temperature IMHO, it's the weeks of rain, and weeks of dry.

40 years ago, there may have been a day or two of rain, but it didn't go on the way it does now*, ditto dry.

*unless we were away in the caravan.

SwirlyShirly · 30/11/2025 21:51

I’m inclined to say yanbu. The seasons have definitely shifted slightly in the last 30 years or so, to v. cold winter being more jan /feb I think. I think that white christmases might become even more rare. I was wondering if we might see a harsh winter this year with it being a mast year, and had high hopes with the cold snap in November but you are right, it seems to have warmed up again a bit.

MrsPringledusts · 30/11/2025 21:47

What warm weather? Cold, wet, rainy here (N/West) we have had frosts, but thank goodness not many. Looking back at my FB posts been the same way for years

molifly · 30/11/2025 21:43

Freezing here. Minus temperatures most mornings

SunnyViper · 30/11/2025 21:38

2 degrees here.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 30/11/2025 21:36

Yanbu

Its WARM

ContentedAlpaca · 30/11/2025 21:35

I was in London Tuesday from Up North. It was a little warmer than here but I can't say I would put that down to any other reason than being 5 hours further south.

Monvelo · 30/11/2025 21:34

Ps climate change could result in much colder temperatures here when the gulf stream is disrupted! I always think this would scare people into actual action more than the idea of a warming climate.

PersephoneParlormaid · 30/11/2025 21:33

Our cars were frozen solid this morning.

Monvelo · 30/11/2025 21:32

It was -4°C overnight and into the morning last week here where I am in Gloucestershire, very unusually cold by the river, and especially so for November!

Scottishskifun · 30/11/2025 21:32

London always feels warmer you have a locked in emissions cloud.

Was 2 degrees today in North East Scotland.

Sorry it’s my bad. I’m in London. Pretty much all my friends and colleagues agree with me that this is unusual. And I see the forecast saying that the lowest is 8,9,10 degrees coming week.

We had snow the week before last, torrential rain yesterday and today was bright but cold.

Arlanymor · 30/11/2025 21:27

It is cold, wet and windy in Pembrokeshire and a severe rain weather warning is in place for midnight. It's 10 degrees, but with the weather it feels close to freezing (and my car temperature gauge agrees).

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 30/11/2025 21:27

It’s warm and raining here. Don’t know if that is down to climate change. I seem to remember it being warm the last few Christmas’s

Monvelo · 30/11/2025 21:25

I heard we had record warm nights and record cold nights this November.

dementedpixie · 30/11/2025 21:24

Had to defrost my car this morning
It's not spring like where I live
