It is a golden October, as it is in the picture book. And that also pleases the operators of the ice cream parlors, who are currently making an unusually high autumn turnover.
Some sellers even want to extend the season. “We usually close in mid-November, but if this continues, we’ll do it until the end of November this year,” says Jana Iaccarino (52) from “Coco Beach” in Lichtenrade. Up to 30 percent more sales than in October of the previous year are expected here.

The terrace of “Florida Eis green” in Spandau was well attended yesterday. Boss Olaf Höhn to the BZ: “We have a lot to do for the season. Compared to last October, 10 to 15 percent more sales are possible.”

Up to 22 degrees are expected on Friday! “It will probably be the warmest October since weather records were made,” said Stefan Rubach from the German Weather Service.
