‘Second spring’ as UK experiences record above-average temperatures

  1. its been a bit odd looking at the plants flowering again. Not great though as they will use a lot of energy and also if insects start becoming active again when they should not then this will further knock back populations.

  2. It’s the same here in Portugal – my cherry trees now have immature fruit setting and the leaves still haven’t dropped of lots of other trees..

  3. These articles are so fucking lazy they are going off the raw numbers provided by the observation stations (temperature monitors) used by the MET without bothering to factor in surrounding/environmental figures

    Like when it would say your postcode is 10 but “feels like 1”

    Don’t get me wrong it had felt slightly better yesterday compared to the days prior but certainly not mild.. and at night its basically hovering around/below freezing

    Maybe in one particular area it might had brightened up a bit but it doesn’t speak for everybody else

  4. October was really mild near me, feeling more like September well into November with regards to temperature. Getting 200+% of the expected November rainfall also means plants are growing rapidly again. It is like autumn started but everything has paused as that final push towards winter has yet to happen.

  5. Have noticed the warm weather it might have been wet but it’s also been 10-14° every day since September in Belfast.

  6. Huh, we had a bit of that earlier this month in montreal (canada), I’d noticed some branches had started germinating again, as if they got impatient and decided “to hell with winter”.
