A record breaking spell of hot weather is due to come to a close in the next few days but what a spell of weather it has been, cloudless blue skies and warm continental breezes have made it feel like you are on holiday!
The previous October record of 29.4 degrees has been officially broken and here in Hawley my highest was 30.8 on the 1st with the last 6 days being over 25 degrees, better than any spell we had this summer and to see the blue sky at last has been very welcome, just our luck that the nights are now longer than the days!
So record breaking temperatures in October, recent newspaper headlines predicting heavy snowfall this month what is going on?
