Noticed that the chart for yesterday midday showed a cold front over
the southern UK, yet maximum temperatures yesterday were about 5C
warmer than the last few days?

However, think of the insolation factor over the last two days. Within the
cloud-ladened frontal boundary insolation was very slight, however here in
Manchester behind the cold front there was hardly a cloud in the sky to
inhibit the sun warming us up.

You don't give a location for the "5degC warmer than the last few days",
which is a bit general.

Maximum temperatures in Penzance 19.5 on 19th under cloud ahead of the
front, 20.1 on 20th in strong sunshine, so I wouldn't regard it as warmer.

The air under the front was certainly warm, giving a very muggy night
19th/20th but there was a slight drop in both temperature & humidity as the
front cleared Penzance around 09:00
