Default Minimum temperatures tonight

Felly sgrifennodd
Norman Lynagh :
I'm a bit surprised at the minimum temperatures forecast on BBC1 at 6.30
p.m. this evening. Single figure mins were predicted for Scotland but
elsewhere double figure mins were predicted. I haven't looked into it in
much detail but for this part of the country the McKenzie method
predicts a min of around 7-8C, assuming light winds and only small
amounts of cloud. This would be quite a bit colder than the TV forecast
suggested.


Can someone please explain the McKenzie method? I can't find it in the FAQ.

Adrian
