Rarely had such an early fall, afternoon temperatures have fallen to 55F/13C here! We'll have to turn on the heating tomorrow, indoor temperature has sunk to 18C/65F. A week ago I was swimming in a lake to cool down...

While the western and northern parts of Germany are experiencing a totally disappointing September with a monthly maximum temperature of only 22C/71F and daily afternoons in the low 60s, southern Bavaria has just hit another crazy all-time-high for mid September of 34C/93F! Over 32C/90F were reached in several stations on Thursday, along with a stormy FOEHN wind. Incredible considering that in my region (350 miles away) the heatings have been constantly turned on since the beginning of September.

Coldest mid October of the past 30 years in north-west Germany:
Today and tomorrow the afternoon temperatures will stay below 5C / 41F! With a dry northeastern continental wind it feels like a nasty day in January. This has occasionally happened in late October, but I can't remember such a cold spell/spill in the first half of October.
Considering September and October together in my region, I haven't ever seen such an absense of summer just from September 1st onwards. The monthly maximum in September was just 22C (72F), while on average it would be around 26 (79F). Often October has delivered several warm days when September was disappointing, but again nothing, maximum in October was 20.5 (69F).

I can't believe it... just took this picture of our garden on Oct 14, in the Gulf Stream-favored west of Germany...

Very nice garden, Rosetree. Looks like you dusted it with icing sugar. What a world of difference: I'm here in hot and humid Bangkok and on Friday I'll fly back to hot and humid Laos.

November is making up for cold October and September now...
Tomorrow we are expecting record temperatures: a daily mean temperature of 16C / 61F, which is nearly August level, and up to 20C / 68F in some spots in the afternoon!
Some days ago, Garmisch already hit 72F with Foehn wind, very close to the German November all-time-high.

Last week here in Ontario we had record breaking temperatures. It was 24c.

Exactly, I think the servant really got crazy from this weather...

Ontario, at least for Toronto it wouldn't surprise me, it's 8 degrees of latitude (550 miles) further south than my region.
We just had 65F when it was already dark, extremely unnatural subtropical air. Freiburg reached 72 today.

New record temperatures on December 17: 63.5F (17.6C) near the Dutch-German border. The lower 40s would be normal.
