September 2013 – Weather statistics for Watford & UK

September has turned out to be an average month, quite dry and around average sunshine across England. An excellent month for harvesting there certainly has been an abundance of fruit & Veg this year after the cold spring.

The month started off with a continuation of summer with the highest temperature of the month coming at Whittle in Essex with 30.2c being recorded on the 5th. The lowest temperature was -2.4c at Kinbrace in Southerland. The highest rain fall occurred at Normandby in Middlesborough with 68.8mm in a 24 hour period.

From the 1st week it gradually cooled down to average with some chilly nights around the 10th. The last week of the month it has warmed up so that we have had temperatures in the low 20’s.

Looking ahead to October it is looking unsettled with periods of rain crossing the country but it will be mild for the initial 2 weeks. Winds will be coming from the south or south west. There is also potential for some very warm weather around the 10th into the mid 20’s.

December Events 2023

The last month of the year is upon us; I hope you have had a good year. I certainly have, with lots of projects bearing fruit and with lots more planned for 2024. It was the first year I shot over 110,000 photos and attended plenty of events that I still think I have been lucky to attend.

November Events 2023

As the chill in the air deepens and the nights embrace us earlier each day, this is the time of the year when the skies burst alive with the dance of fireworks and our streets become a canvas of twinkling Christmas lights, there are plenty of lights switching on this month. from Oxford Street to Watford Town. Which are all great to photograph.

October Events 2023

October has arrived, and after a record-warm September, will the month continue in the same way? There are lots of events listed below, some of which I will be covering at various press photocalls. Look out for an article later this month on how to get into these events. My annual calendars are nearly ready to be sent to the printers; they will be added to my website in the 2nd half of the month. There will be four calendars: Watford, Fashion, London and my favourite photos from the last 12 months.
