what does " autumnal summer " mean?

Hello
Excuse me what does autumnnal summer mean in this sentence?

The following Sunday was fine; the sodden November chill was broken by the last flash of autumnal summer.

Thanks

I would guess it means that the weather was unusually warm and pleasant for the time of year, more like summer than autumn.
