I notice that the October maximum is 29.5 from Cambridgeshire in 1985. Countryfile mootes 27s on Friday (30th October) - I wonder if anywhere will get near. Gravesend? Off to a wedding on Saturday - I doubt my friend would have planned for (potentially) such good weather in October! Richard

If I hear the BBC weather presenter say one more time 'England and Wales, hot and sunny... Scotland and Northern Ireland cloudy and wet...' I think I'll scream! Do they not look at the satellite images and rainfall radar? You can draw a line from just north of the Wash down to the southwest of Wales and it's CLOUDY to the north of that line. Here in the northeast of England it's raining. So...

Hi Keith, We keep hearing about the wall-to-wall sunshine y'all are getting down there, you lucky people, but I notice that Shoeburyness has been reporting a steady 0.2mm a day rainfall for the last 4 days. Can that be right? Here, by contrast, we have light rain/drizzle with the cloud low on the hills. Ian Bingham, Inchmarlo, Aberdeenshire.

.... I haven't got a decent data-base of Hurn maximum temperatures, but as far as I can see, in a record since at least 1977, yesterday's (1st October) value of 25.2°C declared as the maximum comfortably beat the previous highest in those 35 years for October: this was 24.5°C, also on the 1st October in 1997. Interestingly, in that October, a further four days recorded daytime maxima =...

Another baking hot and sunny day. Max. +22.2C. (average max. is 15C) Nice and cooler now at 1840 at +16.5C, but obviously still warm. This is the advantage of this time of year, the heat doesn't linger into the evening. ----------------------------------------------------------- Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -----------------------------------------------------------

Brussels on Saturday 1st October 2011 Sunny and cloudless and very warm again. Very light wind from between S and E. Warmest 1st October in Brussels since the Uccle record began in 1833.

29.5c recorded at Gravesend beating the 29.4 in March, Cambs, in n1985. It's not out of the question that someone may have beaten 30c once all the days figures come in. Amazing to think that no June 13th has been as hot as today. Jim.
