It's an odd one. 

Hottest joint summer here since records begun in 1884

Joint hottest summer on record for England - Met Office

 Finding out what the winter was like following the 1976 heatwave is not so easy.

Still I have a very big warm coat just in case!  

I didn't know you were in England  

We had a hot spell too, we usually do most summers, but not as extreme as over there. +23 - 26C is ideal for me

Well I'm in England but never felt like I was from it. 

Was christened in this church which incidentally is built back to front according to the ley lines  

Gets to -26 over there @Octo?

I watched this the other week, temps are unreal

Minus 26 sounds warm.

Last year our weather was very mild during winter months. I predict the same this year, seeing temps still in mid 100's. Only very edge of the coast where youll find temps in low 50's to low 60's in late sept, thru february

@boomerang Looks like a very pretty area around that church. How old is it?

If it gets down to -26? Sure, we usually get a cold spell every winter. I think during my lifetime I can remember temps down towards -37ish.

1999)The highest temperature ever recorded is 37.2 °C (99.0 °F) (Liperi, July 29, 2010).[6] The lowest, −51.5 °C (−60.7 °F) (Kittilä, January 28, 1999)

Freezing to death is way more common in Spain than in Finland btw.

@octo First mentioned in 1185 according to  this link. All Saints Church, Bow Brickhill - Wikipedia

I'm looking forward to some snow, I'm like a big kid when it snows. Out sliding down hills on polythene, building an igloo etc etc 

Ok, that's old!! I'm sure it's been added to and rebuilt several times as they usually did, but still old.

I love snow too! It helps living up north to not hate it Also love how it changes the outdoors acoustics, makes all the sounds so soft and quiet. And it's so pretty.

Looks like here the weather is leveling off. Not too hot. I want the fall weather soon. Jacket weather, not tank top weather

There's been frost on the ground a couple of mornings here this past week  

It was -1 one morning. Then it climbs to around 15 in the afternoon so you need all types of clothes during the day
