We’ve had winter-like rain in the middle of the summer, and now we’re looking at temperature predictions akin to mid-summer, but in October

Local forecaster, NN Weather, says Saturday (October 7) and Sunday (October 8) the temperature is expected to reach 24C, with the possibility of 25C in a few places.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, NN Weather said: “A weather map more akin to mid-summer rather than October.
