mild november

london 11.29am 13.3C cloudy wednesday

my perception that november was very mild has been confirmed by the record.

the times gave this as the dullest november, meaning very little sun. but verymild, being the third mildest on record, just behind 1994 and 2011. i cannot say i have noticed the lack of sunshine. but then i am not affected by it. i think if it had been cold i would have noticed the lack of sunshine, but as it was, the cloud kept the temperature higher. we all know if there is cloud, it is warmer. whilst a cloudless sky cause temperature to plunge.
