Yes, I should think so. Another 0.2c or more in that upwards direction and my guesstimate won't seem so bad   

Time is running out for it to fall to my 10.3c guess.  I'm not surprised it's on its way up again as it's been quite mild here for the past 48 hours, although the temp has dropped a bit tonight.  My guess maybe a little too low for October and goodness knows what November will bring if the current outlook is to be believed.  I think it may catch some of us out.  Ahh, the good old British weather. 

GW, could you please post some past CET averages for November to help with my guess, otherwise I'm likely to go for something totally tropical. 

I know what I'm going for Caz 🙂 Don't overdo it - its worth going for a mild one. :-)

My calculations suggest that October will finish around 10.8C.

With November potentially looking very mild - at least for the first half, those looking for a cold winter might be hoping for a repeat of either 1928 or 1822. The CET for both these years is tracking 2015 quite closely since July.

Conversely a repeat of 1994 would be what those looking for a mild winter will hope for.

The car thermometer today was showing 16c; even at 8pm it was at 15c. I know this method gives poor accuracy, but as a general rule, it's usually within 1c (unless in direct sun, which it wasn't)

Surely the CET will inch up a degree.

anything's better than a downward correction

It will be 9.5C here which is -0.4C

Saw that on the climate detail👍👍👍👌

Final October CET is exactly 11.00C http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/cet_mean_2015

Well done to GezM, marting and western100 who had the exact figure this month

Here are the charts for October. Temperatures ended up slightly above average. Overall the autumn though is still below average.

I was 0.8C out - looks like I'll lose a few more places. :-(

That's the 4th month this year, taking into account rounding to first decimal place, that has ended on a whole number.

Feb: 4.0
Apr: 9.0
Jun: 14.0
Oct: 11.0

I wonder when the last time that at least 4 months in the year ended with a whole number?

Annual CET competition October update

Here are the tables for October. lanky still has a good lead but it has been cut somewhat by John S2.

Very tight in the rest of the top 10 with a number of people reaching their highest position of the year this month.

Thank you GW for the update. Placed in my file for 2015.

Thanks Simon.

Thanks Simon!

Interestingly, if someone had simply gone for the 1961-90 CET average every month, they would have a cumulative anomaly of 4.9C, and would be leading the table. 

Thanks GW.
