The unseasonably warm weekend in Jersey has broken another weather record.
It reached 25.8°C on Sunday (8 October), making it the second hottest October day.
The record is 26.9°C, measured on 1 October 2011.
Sunday was still a record-breaker though, in that it was the latest date in the year to have exceeded 25°Celsius.
Records stretch back to 1894.
