My first autumn in Bromley, has been a warm wet one. In England as a whole this will be the 3rd warmest in the 356 years since the records began. Over the whole year we are still on course to be the warmest year recorded in 356 years.
In Bromley September started very dry with only 7.5mm of rain and 7 rainy days with a warm month. It gradually started getting wetter during October with 93mm of rain and 15 rainy days. It was a continuation of the mild weather which we have seen this year. November continued the rain theme but not as wet was October having 84.9mm of rain with 19 rainy days and mild again. Below are the statistics for each of the autumn months.
Winter 2014
So what can we look forward to in the coming winter, it is currently looking like there will be a change to dry weather with more high pressure. It will feel colder than what we have experience all year. Depending on the amounts of cloud there will be a few frosts. Further afield the computer models are starting to show signs of more atlantic weather systems arriving at our shores but from the NW. This produces cooler wetter weather.
