[Closed] Why is it so warm

That's what you get for living near the jetstream.

Well its not Friday yet so things could change rapidly by then. Was very warm this morning though in west of scotland, don't think I've ever commuted this time of year without gloves on.

You've got bad wind and are single handedly warming your house with your arse.

gulfstream; there is a big area of low pressure in the middle of the north atlantic pulling hot air from the azores, over north africa/spain,

I commuted in shorts, baselayer and SS jersey, I'm debating not bothering with the base this evening ! I live in manchester... bonkers weather indeed

just had a lovely ride in the wind 18 degrees in the garden... it's been very warm [url= http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/10/20/climate_change_records_the_earth_just_had_the_warmest_12_month_period_recorded.html ]over the last 12 months[/url]

Pfft I think it's freezing

Was in Lanzarote last week it was solid low 30s at the start of the week and then Wednesday some warm air off the Sahara rolled in. Thursday/Friday low 40s in the afternoon no messing. But it was a dry heat

molto scorchio as they say

We're on for a record warm winter as the Climate Scientists have just predicted the exact opposite.

I'm planning on planting some palm trees in the garden next WE...

breakfast room?!? do you mean the dining room or do you have a room for eating every single meal in. What happens if your wife starts eating breakfas in the lunch room? anarchy? the collapse of society?

😐

I went out for a run on my lunch and I was sweating my baws off- warm and humid, grim. Bring on a bit of chilly wind

Getting in another camping trip to make the most of it. Off tomorrow for the rest of the week.

Today was absolutely beautiful. The tracks were bone dry.
Had to dig all my summer gear out again.

Yup toasty in Newcastle this afternoon when I was heading home.

I thought "toasty" in Newcastle was when the temperature was in positive figures?

Pissing down and blowing a gale in Glasgow, and it has been since Sat ! 14 degrees tho 😀

It was cool up on West Kennet Longbarrow yesterday, glad of my Windshirt with a lightweight fleece underneath.
Mainly because it's always windy up there!

I thought "toasty" in Newcastle was when the temperature was in positive figures?

Ok. Positively tropical.

57 MPG average. Bloody hell... I didn't think anybody actually got those figures. 🙂

Has nobody said "Global Warming"?

Jekkyl - Yes indeed breakfast only, have lunch at the bar and dinner in the dining room - Don't tell me you eat all your meals in the same room, I expect you eat chocolate bars with your hands too?

Anyway this is weird I was in London this morning I'm in Carlisle now and it's warmer here FFS, the end is nigh I tell thee.

Also is there a decent pub + food here near the station?

57 MPG average. Bloody hell... I didn't think anybody actually got those figures.

I know I was gutted too but I did hit a bit traffic before Gosforth so that pushed it down to 57.

I can only imagine it dropped further past 50 by the time you were clear of the traffic at the Regent Centre roundabout then...

Don't think we had Halloween as kids but Bonfire night was reliably **** freezin and like the OP In 2014 I'm in shorts.

Quarter lounge is good in Carlisle across the road from the Sony center nice burgers

Yep been lovely in the sarf east.
I do remember 2 or 3 years ago we had a really warm week in October as well, in the 20s it was.

1) it's not January/February, so anything can happen

2) weather innit - why are people perpetually surprised?

3) breakfast room - wtf?

Cheers wool Ill try it

I can only imagine it dropped further past 50 by the time you were clear of the traffic at the Regent Centre roundabout then...

I was heading to Newburn down the A1.

I do remember 2 or 3 years ago we had a really warm week in October as well, in the 20s it was.

We had snow 2 and 3 years ago. Loads of it 3 years ago.

Don't think we had Halloween as kids but Bonfire night was reliably **** freezin and like the OP In 2014 I'm in shorts.

We had both and can remember them being cold, wet and yes even warm.

even nicer today less wind wall to wall blue sky.... waiting on a delivery 👿 some mudguards ! doh!

Shooting yesterday and was wearing a shirt and waistcoat while the other guns were boiling in their coats [they needed big pockets for cartridges].
Very smug!

Got a big, new to me, mower being delivered later today for a trial - seeing as it's dry and warm I'll be cutting the grass later 🙂

Very dull and overcast here in Darwen but it's 17 degrees and it can stay this way all the way through till spring for me. Can't stand the cold.

this is just bloody silly now 3 hrs on the bike in my lightest summer jersey I'm absolutely dripping in sweat, a barmey 23 in the garden cocktail and barby weather 🙂

Cause it's November tomorrow and it's 17C in glasgow this afternoon! 😯

Heart fm?

[i]Cause it's November tomorrow and it's 17C in glasgow this afternoon![/i]

Yep commute home in short sleeve jersey and arm warmers, no gloves. Bizarre. This morning was balmy to say the least.

I remember the same but I wonder if it actually was, if you could see the data.

Didn't ride 5th November 2012 but rode on the evening of the 4th around 6-7pm, temps were Avg Temperature: 3.3°C, Min Temperature: 2.0°C, Max Temperature: 7.0°C. Max was probably when I switched the garmin on in the garage. It was warmer the next ride on the 6th with an average of 7.0°C

Two rides on 4th November 2013, again didn't ride on the 5th, temps for the morning ride were Avg Temperature:1.6°C, Min Temperature:0.0°C, Max Temperature:7.0°C and the evening avg 3.4°C, min 0.0°C, max 7.0°C.

31st October 2013 was average of 7.0°C 7am-8:15.

This is around the Glasgow/Ayrshire area.

So its highly likely 5th November was pretty chilly 2012 & 2013, and likely to be the same this year.

So there you go 🙂

Out for a 2 hr ride today in shorts and a short sleeve jersey.. wtf

CO2 levels down again?

Sorry, wrong way round...

We were riding with shorts & long sleeves rolled up and still sweating last night then sitting in the beer garden until about 10.30.

..ride today in shorts and a short sleeve jersey..

Mowed the lawn this afternoon .... grass still growing!

Morley in Leeds, now, pitch black. Quite odd. [IMG] [/IMG]

I'm out for a night ride tonight, forecast is 16 degrees. 14 degrees and less is usually my cut off for base layer on and switch to full leg cover, looks like tonight I shall be in short sleeves.
To the Pub >>>>>>>

21 degrees [i]average[/i] according to my Garmin for today's ride - madness I tell you! But I'm not complaining...

[i]So its highly likely 5th November was pretty chilly 2012 & 2013, and likely to be the same this year.[/i]

And I'm pleased to report I was right 🙂

Average of 3.0°C this morning and a low of 1.0°C. It was a lovely ride in.

Aye, scraping ice off the car this morning

36c here and felt more like 40c yesterday the only ice is in the drinks but I'm avoiding it to stay clear of the potential issues.

Well that soon changed. Riding down from Worcestershire Beacon last night my eyeballs felt like ice arrows were piercing them and the armwarmers were pulled UP. Still not cold enough to climb with a jacket tho...is it ever...

Mowed the lawn this afternoon .... grass still growing!

Most years I'm still mowing it into December, albeit not every week.
