Exceptionally mild this morning with temperature +10.5C at 0845. But it
won't rise much today as there is fog and a lot of moisture again. Fog is
only thin with visibility no less than 200 metres but much thicker higher up
of course where it is less than 50 metres. All surfaces are wet and it is
very gloomy with house lights on.

Yesterday I was in Lymington Hampshire. Had lunch outside in tee-shirt and I
felt too warm in the sun because I was not wearing shorts. Not used to
Hampshire weather in November obviously :-)

I am leaving the sun and warmth of the Island for the foggy south west. Visiting an old sailing friend in Cornwall. Packed my wet weather walking gear..

Thick fog here in Milton Keynes, and a chilly 4.9 degrees. I've lived
here for just over a year now, and this is the first time I've seen
fog here. It's quite a novelty!

It's not foggy, it's not wet. Will's 100 miles away in with his head
in the clouds!
Lovely sunny morning, currently hazy & cloudless. 14.6C at 09:00!

Same on the north coast http://www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm

It's been a very pleasant, dry month near sea level, with some amazing
surf.

Novelty! LOL you're welcome to spend a year on dartmoor, (I have a spare
room!), on average we get circa 40 days a year of fog on the moor, often
thick (less than 50 metres).

Fog/mist has cleared and it is quite bright. Visibility now 10Km at my
altitude.
Temp. rocketing up, now +11.1C (mild for the time year). Hard surfaces
drying but grass is still sopping wet and the moss on vertical surfaces has
spread a lot this month.

Oh for some negative dewpoint air!

Believe you me, that is not typical Hampshire weather at this time of
year. :-)
Liking the brightness this weekend but not the dampness of the air.
Overnight fog and everything round here is *damp* despite the
sunshine.

Hoping that suggestions of a NW/N feed for December come to fruition.
Seasonably cold air *and* sunshine (N/NW winds are inevitably very
sunny here in winter).... having your cake and eating it!

Will is used to colder locations than the balmy "Deep South" - although
having said that I think he may live further south than we do in Hampshire!

Everyone has their own comfort levels based on what they are used to and
their own metabolism. I myself run "warm" and, as I have said in the
past, have never worn a sweater on the field of play in five seasons of
playing cricket - much to the amazement at times of some of our less
hardy younger players.

I personally find that I am comfortable outside wearing shorts provided
the dew point is 7C or above. This criteria can be met at any time of
year in the Southampton area as the sea surface temperature in the
Channel only dips below this during unusually severe winter weather.
The only downside to wearing shorts is that our National Park has plenty
of wildlife and that does include midges...
