In the North American Heartland, where there is little between the North Pole and the Rio Grande but a few strands of barbed wire, that sort of thing is not too uncommon.
I guess that makes sense.

And here was me thinking a 20 C diurnal range here was impressive!
Another beautiful mild autumn day today, sunny from about 11am onwards with a high of 18.7C, because of the strong wind rather than in spite of it that is. It felt warm even though we've got to the stage when the sun has barely any noticeable strength in it. I went for a bike ride in the countryside north of London to see the foliage, which is variable depending on tree species, but I think generally a bit late, which makes sense. Some of the ground is still cracked from the dry weather, which I have certainly never seen before at this time of year. Some photos:
We certainly have been - I've seen plenty of warm Octobers in recent years, but never one that's warm and dry together. Apart from summer it's barely rained since February and today we went past our average annual sun total with a fifth of the year to go Certainly once we get into November though we can't get high temperatures (mild nights in particular) and sunshine together, and we do need the rain, so I wouldn't mind if it rained every day until the reservoirs are full to be honest.
Apart from the dreadful drizzly spell of nearly a week long, this October is more memorable than most for the warmth in the first few days, the hail/thunder storms on 6th, and general mildness (but then that's a preference of mine anyway).
Some past Octobers here have been much cloudier (2005 had only 38 hours sun) and boring where the temperature only ranged between about 0 and 14°C (2004).
Here too it's been a warm first half of autumn like everywhere in western Europe. The trees are more and more colourful.
I mad it to the Alps this weekend. There the peak colours are already gone. Not much to be seen on the photos, most of the forest is made of evergreens. There was snow till about 1500 metres, in some shady areas down to 1000 m.
So far, it's been sunny and warm with temps hitting the high 40s F or even low 50s F on many days, with 20s overnight. The snow level is still high, at around 9,000 feet.
There were some clouds over the mountains this afternoon, but it was another bluebird day in the valley.
I wish I had such impressive natural landscapes near the urban hell of my city. But all i have is the humid pampa, have to travel like 200 km to see at least the ocean, and much more if i wanna see mountains.
