Sky News predicting an October mini heatwave

Please let it be true

[rileynexttime]

Oh no , please don't let it be.

[SlipSlidinAway]

Where?

[KateyCuckoo]

@Houseplanter

Please let it be true

Why?? You've had summer.

[bookworm14]

I bloody hope not. It’s not meant to be warm in October.

[Houseplanter]

@KateyCuckoo not much summer to speak of where I am.

[Houseplanter]

Just 23 degrees or so. Nothing major.

[mynameiscalypso]

It's not that unusual is it? We got married at the end of October a few years ago and it was about 25 degrees.

[AuntieJoyce]

I am going on holiday on the 15th of October, so I can reliably tell you when it will start.

[Whatelsecouldibecalled]

Oh god I hope not! I am so ready for autumn!!!!

[ReeseWitherfork]

We have a family birthday the first week of October and it’s usually warm.

[Lysianthus]

Lovely! Delays expensive heating bills

[BestIsWest]

It’s often warm around the 18th of October - it’s known as St Luke’s Little Summer.

Absolutely. Win win

[Nepmarthiturn]

Would be such a relief to have some warmth before winter are sure a dire summer. I hope this is true.

[CyberCritical]

I remember Halloween a few years ago in shorts and a vest so it wouldn't be unheard of.

[Costalife]

It's so strange

Lows of 19c overnight here !
Fans and windows open still.
Shorts and t shirts still

[notperfectorskinny]

Hope so! Delaying putting on the heating for as long as possible😊

[Vintagevixen]

God I hope not - outside humidity is crazy at the moment, will cause all sorts of damp issues in our old housing stock.

I want my cold (stamps foot!) hoping for a good cold winter this year, last years winter was such a disappointment.

[EasternStandard]

Nice and helps keep heating off

[MartyFunkhouser]

My phone weather app says 24 on sat and 25 on Sunday this week! ☀️lovely!

Posted in the autumn thread:
I've been hesitating about posting this as the models have been very conflicting, with entirely different solutions being presented. It's starting to look more likely now that next weekend will see temperatures in the mid 20s across much of England with some favoured eastern spots seeing perhaps 26 or 27c. This is some 10c above the average maximum temperature for October. 

This hot air is coming from the south, where parts of northern and central France may see temperatures in the high 20s or perhaps low 30s.

[Costalife]

It's very humid today in West Sussex
90 per cent humidity
Horrid

[TenBlackRoses]

No! It needs to get colder! It's humid, and muggy, and my poor animals are fluffing up in winter coats but it's still too warm... and the bloody flies are still about, they need to sod off!

[Finteq]

Sounds good to me

Exactly. 25 degrees is predicted for the SE - in October! That's bloody scary
