October 2021 in Durham can only be described as Autumnal.

There was rain on 23 days, with a peak reached on 5th October when a phenomenal 43.8mm of rain was recorded.

The thermometer got to 20 degC on the 7th and 8th. A good effort for October. 

By the middle of the month, it was getting noticeably colder, and getting close to frosty mornings, although the maxima held up well and overall the month finished above normal.
