UK:	Autumn really began to show it’s hand this week with temperatures failing to reach 20 degrees. However nowhere in the UK had an overnight frost. Again there was a lot of rainfall with many places on a daily basis having more than 25 millimetres of rain.
FALKLANDS:	After a cloudy day on Monday things brightened up on Tuesday. However cloud and rain once again pushed over the Islands on Thursday, with Friday being a particularly horrible day with strong southerly winds, some wintry precipitation and temperatures only reaching 3 Celsius. It was much calmer over the weekend and in contrast to Friday, Saturday was the warmest day of the week.
