Temperature now 26.0°C and still rising. This puts anything else I've
recorded for October well and truly in the 'shade'.

October temperatures above 20°C are not that rare here, but today's
figure far exceeds the 'normal'.

October max temps:
2010 = 22.3°C (8th)
2009 = 18.7°C (6th)
2008 = 20.5°C (12th)
2007 = 19.1°C (4th)
2006 = 19.0°C (15th)
2005 = 19.4°C (10th)

(13:45) 26.0°C, RH 51%, DP 14.9°C, 1022 hPa (R), Wind 5 mph ESE.
