Most of October was dry and warmer than usual, and November so far has also been warm, just not as dry. I had been thinking it must be another sign of climate change, apparently though that’s not the case. These high temperatures are one of those weather phenomenons we sometimes get; the jet stream has moved. Having said that every month this year has been warm which does suggest things are changing, and the research also indicates that warmer and wetter autumns are likely to become the usual here because of climate change.

These warmer autumnal days have meant many of us have used less energy, which has been a huge positive given the rising energy prices. The downside, well Squares is probably not the place for a lengthy climate change discussion. So instead I’ll mention the impact on my walks. I have spent ages some mornings trying to work out what to wear and when to walk so I don’t overheat, don’t slip over in the mud and don’t get soaked. This was one of those complex decision days, and fortunately I got it right!

Missing the showers

Have you got caught in the rain recently, or have you also been avoiding the rain? Do share your walks with me. I’d love to know what you have been up to. To share simply link back to one of my daily posts and don’t forget to use the tag #WalkingSquares.

  5. I am always a day (or possibly two) late with my squares. It was wonderful weather two days ago but yesterday and today it’s grey. They call it “high fog” (is that a proper English expression / phenomenon). What it means here in our area is – it’s grey and dysmal but you know that if you had the time and the inclination you could get into a car and drive up in the hills and as soon as you are 200 or 300 metres higher, there is sunshine. If my husband is willing, we’ll go for a drive (and a walk) later, if not there will be grey photos tomorrow.

  14. A lovely, shot, Becky, the evidence of rain is very clear, I’ve done well on avoiding it so far, but the clothing choice is definitely more of a challenge these days, and I usually have a variety of options in my backpack!
