Sorry if this is very boring to anyone living north of Birmingham, but can
anybody in the much blessed South East remember a more perfect weather day
..?
Deep blue skies ,unbroken powerful sunshine , scarcely a breath of wind all
day ,and a temp. around 17C
Absolutely brilliant, fit for any Red Indian (sorry, native American Indian)
living this side of Solihull.

Benign regards to you all

Glorious, wasn't it. It was almost enough to make me tear myself away
from my PC.

.... yes indeed: - hardly a breath of wind and no coat required out for a
walk - when October days are mild, they are often quite breezy too, but
not today - as you say, a sharply blue sky and perfect conditions. Looks
like being fairly chilly tonight.

Very adequate for gliding too. People at my club in Norfolk had no trouble
soaring for as long as they wanted. The small cumulus or haze caps were at
around 3,800 feet asl with thermal strengths as much as 500 feet per
minute - quite superb for so late in the year. The visibility was
unlimited.

Parched East Anglia looked for like East Africa before the rains arrive - I
have never seen it so arid. As far as the eye could see (from 3,000+ feet)
it was basically brown with just a few woods and isolated trees or hedgerows
to break up the landscape.

Continuing the pattern of this being the hottest year on record.

Indeed not Ron! At about 5.30pm I was driving west along the A25 in kent
(Sevenoaks area). The sight of the setting sun shining on the tops of the trees
that grace that part of the North Downs was magical; deep blue sky, the yellow,
bronze and orange of the autumn leaves - oh yes, and the dust of the dry
soil...though i did notice signs of quite a few puddles in west Kent - they
obviously had a bit more rain than we did from the dying front last night.

Yep, couldn't agree more. I was out just before dawn driving around
Worcestershire trying to capture those perfect autumn pictures. Didn't get
back until gone lunchtime and still processing the pictures now.

A perfect day ? Very, very close. If I didn't have a stinker of a cold it
would have been :-))

Cheers

The brown colouring is very evident from the superb 250m resolution
