As you may know the weather on Ember days is said to predict the weather of the coming months. So just for fun I noted the weather during the last (Michaelmas) Embertide. Wednesday predicts October, Friday predicts November and Saturday predicts December.

For Wednesday (October) I had: Cloudy, some rain, warm. Partly cloudy in the afternoon, hot and humid.

This past October was in fact rather rainy, and except for a four day cold snap I think temps were above average. It did also seem to be rather humid for the Fall owing to all Southern winds we got (which is also why temps were warm). So I would say this Ember forecast was fairly accurate.

For November I have: Cloudy early, mostly sunny by late morning, seasonable but slightly on the warm side. Let’s see how it turns out!
