With not a cloud in the sky and temperatures reaching a high of 12 degrees-Celsius, residents expressed amazement today at how seasonably warm the weather was.
“Is it just me or is this weather exactly what you’d expect it to be for the middle of October?” asked one local, causing others to nod in agreement that the weather was indeed surprisingly normal for this time of year.
Even climate experts were baffled by the seasonable balminess.
“Our models predicted we’d be experiencing weather that was pretty much in line with what we saw today,” said Channel 5 News Meteorologist Dan Danly. “But it’s extremely usual that we’d be getting this level of seasonable warmth.”
Residents are advised not to make the most of it because the end of the normal spell is far off.
Said Danly: “As we head into winter we can expect the temperatures to drop and the weather to become very cold. In fact, we’re expecting this winter to be particularly seasonably chilly.”
