That cool change for the weekend has weakened and slowed, so we have:

Recorded:

Sa... 34.4
Su... 36.7
Mo... 37.0
Tu... 38.9
We.. 39.2
Th... 39.2

and forecast:

Fr ... 39
Sa... 39
Su... 40
Mo... 28 (whoohoo!)
Tu ... 30
We... 36
Th... 38

This is not normal. The average maximum in November is 24. The longest November hot spell (consecutive days over 35) we have ever recorded was four days, in 1894. If this forecast is right, we'll get eight straight days.

I know that one freak event does not prove (nor disprove) that climate is changing, but after the record-breaking heatwave in February and consistently low rainfall for a decade or so, I am starting to ask, how much more evidence do we need?
