Central Heating
Is it time to switch the central heating on yet? It is mid-October after all and after a weekend of nearly non-stop sunshine it looks like temperatures will dip in Kent by the end of the week.
A sign of snow to come?
There’s even been snow forecast for some parts of the UK with up to two inches expected on the Peak District, the Pennines and Snowdonia it may even come as far south as Devon.
In a snap poll this morning only a third of listeners living in the Medway towns have flicked the heating switch to ON so far. Expect that figure to rise by the end of the week!

Hot, Hot, Hot!
Finally, is the summer we were expecting finally here? Medway and the rest of the UK will bask in an Indian summer today with temperatures set to soar to 28 by the weekend!

Jekyll and Hyde summer
Our weather is being described as a Jekyll and Hyde summer – as soaring temperatures are expected to return by the end of the week.
Forecasters say that in the second half of this week Kent will see temperatures get back up to the early 30′s.
I am lighter than air but not even one thousand men can lift me. What am I?
