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

[Kalista018]

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.

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

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

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!

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

It's not mostly mild! 😂 There's been loads of ice, sleet, frost, and even some snow over parts of the UK this past month. We have had a couple of mild-ish days, a couple of times, but they've been followed by 5-6 days of zero temperatures and frosty days each time...

Drove from Manchester to Sheffield last evening. Snow on the Rushup Edge Road.

I'm in Essex and we've had similar temperatures

It didn't feel warm at all. Very puzzled by this post. I think 8/9 is a fairly normal daytime temperature for November anyway.

Meanwhile, in South Yorkshire it will not be as mild as London is. Our forecast after Monday is 7 and 8 degrees, which is pretty average.

No idea where you are but it's 4 degrees but feels colder here in Essex. Was bitterly cold at 8am. Car covered in frost

Warm? It's barely above freezing here. Yes, our extremes of weather are definitely down to climate change but it's anything but warm.righr now.

What warm weather?! Its been very much cold and wet here for a good few weeks, I've been freezing!

8/9/10 can be completely normal in November. A few days of warmer or colder weather does not make climate change, that's just weather

Despite the frost and cold, I have sweet peas growing and flowers blooming. Totally skewered here. North West. Tonight and tomorrow warning for rain and more local flooding.

Temperatures feel cold though.

Warmer weather than usual is an indicator of climate change.
Colder weather than usual is an indicator of climate change.
Wetter weather than usual is a indicator of climate change.
Drier weather than usual is it indicator of climate change.
Windier weather than usual isn't indicator of climate change.
The climate is changing.
You would be statistically unlikely to have five or 10 consecutive winters which were very very similar in terms of their weather, because the climate is changing.
This isn't like the old days when you knew what weather was going to be like, these are the new days, and we never know what's going on anymore.
So, deny it, or don't, doesn't matter.
Some years are cold or some years are warmer some years are wet or some years are dry or some years are windier etc.
And we didn't call it climate change decades ago, It was just weather.

London is a fetid swamp. The rest of the country is pretty nippy.

My first thought was ‘what warm weather?’ In Scotland we’ve had below average temperatures and snow formthe past two weeks.

What warm weather? It was 2º this morning. Not warm for the time of year at all.

What warm weather? It's dark at 3.30 and freezing cold.
It's a 2 hot water bottle necessity now ! !

I bought a really warm winter coat a couple of years ago and I’ve never worn it because it’s not been cold enough.

Does the fact that it's pissing down and blowing a hoolie in London this morning (and pretty much the rest of England going by the met radar map) feel more 'right' to you?

Definitely been unseasonably warm in SE Kent. Saturday 15th November I was walking the dog in a tshirt and too hot watching people swimming comfortably in the sea. A week later it was cold and windy and wet. But by last week it was warm again. I was down to a tshirt again one day last week for a not particularly strenuous dog walk.

We have had some frozen windscreens as well and today the wind and rain are back but yes overall I think the temperatures here are pretty scary.

It feels like Spring some days in the NW. not every day but some. Scary.

I’m in the south east and it’s cold enough. Frosty mornings, cold and wet today. Heating on. Not sure which country you’re in but it’s not the UK.

My husband put the central heating on and lit the fire last night, so must of been cold

What - no GIF??

I forget where you are. Are you in London too?

@Kalista018 I'm south (north Hampshire) & it is warmer than previous years. I went to iur village Christmas 'lights on' & market on Saturday & past years it's definitely meant wearing many layers, gloves, scarf, hat & still being cold!! On Saturday I was plenty warm in far fewer layers, no hat, scarf, gloves.

it feels very variable here day to day.

It is but climate patterns measure averages not any particular warm or cold day or place . Met office: "The year 2024 was the fourth warmest on record for the UK, behind only 2022, 2023 and 2014". https://www.carbonbrief.org/met-office-a-review-of-the-uks-climate-in-2024/
I agree, it feels like our winters (midlands) are rarely cold enough for a proper coat any more.
