Autumn Heat in Aberystwyth

It may be autumn, the trees are looking stunning in their autumn colours, but a new high record temperature for November in the UK was set yesterday. Temperatures in Trawsgoed, near Aberystwyth, reached 22.3ºC on Sunday, beating the previous record of 21.7ºC, seen in Prestatyn in 1946.

We managed to make the most of it though. The day started quite chilly for my bike ride in the dark at 6:30am and for some reason I was struggling on the bike today. I made it back to Machynlleth just before 9am though for a swim in the pool and then headed home for a second breakfast. I didn’t stop in Mach for my usual coffee as my parents were visiting for the weekend and it was now already 10am so they would be up and about.

Autumn in Aberystwyth

We all headed into Aberystwyth where the temperatures were soaring. We had a picnic overlooking the surf at The Trap and then walked along the prom, through the Castle and had ice-creams on the beach before strolling back in the sunshine.

The prom was busy with hundreds of people out enjoying the warm, sunny weather and everyone seemed to want an Ice Cream. Pd’s diner where having an end of season sell off of ice-creams with profits going to charity, but if the weather continues like this their end of season sale may have been a little premature. We certainly can’t complain about days with weather like that at this time of year, it’s usually pretty cold, wet and blowing a hoolie!
