Len, I recorded the lowest October temperature since before 2005 and
completely trounced my previous lowest October minimum of -2.2C (21st
October 2010).

Last night's minimum was -4.3C. I frequently have recorded entire years
where the temperature never gets that low.

It was exceptional, especially given that October frosts are fairly rare
(the last one being in 2010).

But a beautiful day ensued with unbroken sunshine yet again and a
maximum of 11.2C.

Going off chilly again! Could be another humdinger.
