Just looking back at some graphs, it was significantly warmer in October last year



It the evening temps that also make it so lovely

I've put my coat on to take the dog for a walk instead of a sweat shirt at night for this last week.

Not even proper double blobs rain that would at least water the garden. Just cloud and drizzle most likely.

Well I had to put 3 layers on today because the weather sucks, it's been under 20C for the last 2 weeks. Sometimes wish I was fatter - keep me better insulated.

If the sun is the be-all-and-end-all in life, move to Spain..

This was the view walking outside my parents town house:

And weather forecast from Friday:

It's not all amazing, but definitely if I could setup the perfect existance, I'd be over there during winter/spring/autumn but definitely want to pop back to Blighty for Summer..

My dad had 3 heatstrokes and often popped over to see me for a week weeks and had a holiday back in the UK for some cooler summer weather!

It’s cold and chucking it down in Barcelona at the moment! I was hoping for a few days of sun.

I am a shorts almost all year round guy and i am starting to debate whether to get the jogging bottoms out. I keep seeing even more reports of this being the rainiest summer we've had in years. Cant wait...

According to this thread you'd never be coming back

Doesn't always work that way, the wife has more subcutaneous fat than me but feels colder.

I think women do in general though owing to higher oestrogen which does impact blood flow, and therefore can make extremities feel colder, as soon as your toes/fingers/nose feels cold it really does make you feel cold overall. Also owing to women mainly being smaller than men but with a larger surface area relative to their body volume they lose more heat. And lastly metabolic rates are on average 20% higher in men - which mean we tend to burn calories more effectively and thus stay warmer.

Generally I agree but you can have the complete opposite aswell.

Yeah like all scientific elements, there are those that sit outside the standard deviation - some people would however, call them freaks.

Sun is shining but it’s absolutely baltic. I love NI summers.

Fan. Tastic.

Certainly not Tan. Tastic.

I would just say it must be a medical problem. Got to be PC and all that

This post should be ban-tastic.

I was in my wind shell and leggings yesterday evening for my dog walk. In mid June. Grim

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

25 and Sunny bright days is practically perfect.

Agreed that would be perfect.

Lovely weather today until a murder wasp the size of a sausage tried to enter the office, first time seeing a hornet and it was gigantic.

It was a tongue in cheek comment. I of course would never be so bold... I'd call superfreaks.
