Don't worry Caz. After a warm three days it looks like cooling off considerably over the next week or so with cool nights and days.


The CET stands at 12.34C up to and including today by my calculations.


However, the latest output suggests this figure could fall to 10.65C by the 21st. That would be 0.29C below the 1971-2000 mean and 0.61C below the 1981-2010 mean. So I think we have just seem a temporary warm blip in what has been a fairly lengthy spell of cool weather. The colder conditions are set to return.


41 of the last 58 days have recorded a CET below average. 32 of those 41 days have been more than 1C below average.

Mostly down to the high minimum CET of 13.2C as Caz rightly suggests. That is the joint 5th highest minimum CET for 6th October on record:


6th Oct 1990 13.8C
6th Oct 1921 13.4C
6th Oct 1916 13.4C
6th Oct 1941 13.4C
6th Oct 1920 13.2C
6th Oct 2015 13.2C


Nowhere near the all time highest October minimum CET of 15.2C set in 2005.

That CET is going to slide big-time over the coming week or so... I'm glad to be near the bottom of the pack for this month.


Had I followed the model guidance I would have aimed higher. The final GFS op runs of the month had the CET at close to 13.5*C up to the 11th! 


So following my instincts seems to be working out rather well so far. Funny how that works.

Lowest CET return since 14 May today at 8.7C.


Staying cool for the foreseeable future although significant cloud amounts may help to keep the minimum temperatures a little higher than they have been of late. Maximums will be disappointing. If the skies do clear at night then the CET will really crash.


Currently my CET estimate stands at 11.48C. Currently expecting it to fall about 1C in the next 2 weeks to 10.42C by the 27th. As things currently stand the CET looks like finishing somewhere close to 10C. Plenty of time for this to change though.


A 10C finish would mean the first two months of this Autumn are just colder than 2012. It would be the coldest first two months of Autumn since 1993.

It's falling steadily now. Although if our local weather is anything to go by, the night time minima are being kept up by cloud cover, otherwise it would be falling too quickly for my liking.

The CET is now down to just 10.85C by my calculations.


However, from here on in to the end of the month it looks like temperatures will be a little above average generally. This is largely down to milder nights. So the CET may only drift down to 10.67C by the end of the month, i.e. little change from where it is currently at. If we do see more in the way of clear skies then obviously that number could come down somewhat.


Looking at analogue years the CET continues to track 1957 very closely and has done since around April. We are also tracking 1987 quite closely as well since around April. Both were fairly strong El Nino years, the Nino peaking later in the 1957/8 event than it did in 1987/8. Both were positive QBO winters as well. So a good match for this year. Sun spots were high in 1957 whereas in 1987 they were similar to the current position. However, 1957 saw the colder winter.
