It's currently 25F.
In the UK we are suffering a change in temperatures. Tomorrow is forecast to get into the low 20's. That is 20 Centigrade. Compared to what we have had- with wind and night frost- it has come as a bit of a shock.
Here in the South East, We used to expect the first frost in September when I was younger. Snow in January and the last frost around May. It is now November before the frost appears, then mild, snow might appear for a couple of days and is just a sprinkling, Jan to March is cold with wind chilling winds and last frost has long gone by the time April appears.
Thank goodness for long johns and Goretex.
