15th October - Today's News: Record High Temperatures in Zimbabwe

Received my first 13 £10 cheques from Walkers Crisps yesterday. Still a couple more to come and hopefully with 4 weeks of the competition still to run I can at least double that! Especially as after a dry week things are looking much more unsettled, and indeed cold, across the British Isles. Snow possible even to low level in the Highlands next week.

In Zimbabwe, where it's now spring, October temperatures soar to record highs . However, whilst it may also be spring in Australia, there's big rain, wild winds and wintry blast on the way. Thanks to a strong La Nina it's likely Australia will have a cooler, wetter summer this year than usual. Which is worth bearing in mind with the Ashes coming up!
