Warmer than a summers night

[ikarl]

Can hardly believe how warm it is, just drove home from Glasgow and its noticeably warm!

The temp in the car was showing 15.5c, and now I'm home (20miles outside the city) the garden thermometer is just above 14

I'm a 100 miles from Glasgow on the west coast - it was 13.5 degrees at 8 o'clock tonight! Mental for a week afore Xmas.

Minus 16c here , bds

It's mental. I'm in Glasgow, too.

Just got back from NYC on Tuesday and it was in the 60s over there couldn't believe it.

17c here at 1:45am, gotta love climate change.

This will be manna from heaven for the lefties, who will be demanding more tax increases and restrictions on cars.

Apparently this weather is more to do with El Nino and southerley winds from Africa than any climate change.

The irony is that nobody, well we don't, has their central heating switched on so it is actually good for the C02 or whatever they moan about, nothing is burnt.

My wife didn't get that particular memo, please could you resend it?

Lol, so true!

There was another thread about leaving it as late as possible turning heating on for winter.
I did turn mine on but 3 weeks ago it got turned off again and I haven't been cold yet.

[With these feet]

Bet we will have a damn cold Feb/March though. I remember sitting on the beach on the south coast a few years ago at the end of November, proper summers day feel but a fresh breeze.

[Condi]

Meh, Ive gone beyond turning the heating off to sleeping with the window open!


And yes, while its El Nino related, we are also in a very strong El Nino year - El Nino being the warming of a patch of sea in the Pacific. Basically this year its warmer than usual.

You're going to think i'm being sarcastic, but seriously, I have flowers still in the garden, the apple trees have shoots on them and best of all (no kidding) I picked some raspberries which recently ripened the other day.

The cold is firmly locked up in the Arctic and hasn't really broken out yet and spilled over N America or Eurasia. It <could> be quite a bang when it comes.

[cptsideways]

We have a raspberry bush producing ripe fruit, shall go for a wander & have look this morning

No forecast as to when though?

Driving home on the, apparently, most alcohol consumed in the UK night, and everyone were outside the pubs as if it was a summers evening.

Fek Climate Change, it was much hotter than this in the Middle Ages, a period bereft of power stations, fridges and V8s.

Keep an eye on the annual snow thread. Right now there are rumblings post-Xmas, more likely NY time or later... Absolutely nothing concrete though.

If I had a pound...
