19 degrees is exceptional warm for November . The normal daytime temprature in the UK is about 10 degrees with a dip to 3 or 4 degrees at night.
In yorkshire it is usually just plain freezing at this time of year lol.
Gary i am so old i dont know how to convert shocked but i think in olden days it would have been about 58 degrees.Does that help!!!
Blue tongue disease is affecting our cattle and sheep who have to be slaughtered if they contract it.
As its name suggests,it is charecterised by the animal developing a blue tongue.
the good news is that only animals who contract it need to be slaughtered unlike foot and mouth which requires whole herds to be destroyed once one case has been confirmed.
The poor UK farmers have been plagued by sporadic out breaks of both these diseases this summer and it means that movement of live stock is restricted and farmers cant take their stock to markets,or sell them for slaughter.
