That it's warm for November?

[Adatewithmyself]

Just that really. In the South East it's still hovering around 14-16 degrees. Supposed to be 18 degrees next Monday.

Usually it's really cold on bonfire night weekend, with a need for hats etc, nothing like that at the moment.

Are we just having an unseasonably warm spell?

Yup. Not even had my heating on yet. Am wearing a jumper today though.

I don't think the people of Catalonia are thanking their lucky stars for their dividends right now.

And humanity will vanish sooner than you think if plants, and insects are unable to evolve quickly enough to adapt to a changing climate. Not enough pollinators at the right time - no crops. No crops - global famine.

"This. If it helps, this will be the coldest November we'll ever have from this point on."

Really quite scary when you put it like this @HarkALark but I've no doubt it's true apart from anomalies.

Doesn't it depend on other factors?

ie the gulf stream changing, not that I want that to happen, at all.

My adult child and I were talking about this yesterday. Up until yesterday, they were still picking tomatoes from their vines in their green house. in November 🤔.

Of course it's global warming.

I'm waiting for a cold snap to come along and kill off all the bloody mozzies which have been feasting on me night after night!

Warmer weather can also mean total crop failures which will lead to increased food prices and unavailability. Sounds great

Yes, this. Also in the SE and my DC have been in the sea in October for the past couple of years!

And there has been a distinct lack of frosts... I can't remember when we last had a year with more than one or two frosty mornings. As a kid, it felt like most winter mornings were frosty.

I don't know why everybody is moaning. at you for moaning about the weather.......you weren't moaning just making an observation. And yes I agree,'we are in Yorkshire it's about 10-11 here most days. I can tell it's warmer as I have Raynauds. My symptoms of white tingling fingers with no feeling and chilblains and extremely swollen and painful toes, normally start about mid October. I've only had a couple of short periods of white fingers and my toes still look relatively normal too. We went to an organised bonfire and fireworks last night with coats, hats and gloves and we were all far too warm (and that suits me). It means we can still get out at the weekends too for family walks and bike rides, which is what we enjoy. And when it's too cold no amount of socks and thermals will make my toes less painful so I have to stop when it gets too cold which makes me very sad. I am one of those people literally counting down to spring.

Yes, Bonfire Night was absolutely freezing as a child!

Yes and It’s about time this country got its head around windows that can take U.S style air conditioning units. It’s too hot up here, what with the hot flashes and the rising temps.

My dehumidifier is paying for itself! Hung on the airer at 6pm, practically dry by morning, just put in the the dryer for 20 mins to make sure at 7am 😄

It feels like 75% of our wether is between 8 and 18c and grey/ cloud which clears living in northern England im used to the cold but haven't felt it for years

I haven't even put my heating on yet, I'm not complaining though as I hate the cold mornings.

Yes and no. If the Gulf Stream stays as is then it will just get wetter and warmer. I heard the Gulf Stream is changing on LBC this week but they called it the jet stream (unless that is something different but I don’t think so?) and they said it waving so not hitting all the same areas and that it may flip which I think they said will make us colder.

all places are the same. My Romanian friends say it’s gone from 4 seasons to 2 and 45 in summer to quite warm in winter.

Floods in many countries this month. Warmer air holds more moisture.

Feel sorry for farmers having to deal with these rapid changes.

"Can" being the operative word.

Wake us up when it happens.

@nomorehocuspocus

Yes, its very bad whats happened is Spain, no doubt. But many people only give a fuck because its a tourist country and near to the UK.

How many people give a fuck about floods or landslides in Latin America, or perhaps the 2022 floods in Pakistan?

Literally, cry me a river.

Reality is many people give exactly zero shits about anyone else. So if a warmer November here in the UK results in people saving money on their bills etc, then thats a good thing.

@Clearinguptheclutter Yeh because prices of food in the UK is oh so cheap at the moment....🙄🤦‍♂️

Climate change used to be called global warming. I genuinely think a lot of people in Britain don't care because they think it will mean the UK will get hotter and that would be a good thing.

Why did you have children if you're so worried about climate change? 🤦‍♀️

It's not particularly pleasant weather at the other end of the country!

Why is it your business?

Because I live in the climate too, and don't get any pleasure from other people's kids suffering in extreme weather events or global starvation.

You might do things that are just as bad for the climate though, in other ways.

Of course, but I haven't produced another generation in case the climate predictions are correct. Why would I bring someone into the world when they're predicted to have such a terrible life and death?

Yes warm, dry but no sunshine. Due to stay the same for the next few weeks here.

Nice not having to put the heating on but it is worrying, The weather has taken a definite shift the last few years and feels like the climate crisis is worsening pretty fast

Hopefully there will be a big dumping of snow soon to prove me wrong!
