Default [WR] Bracknell(Tawfield) 1800Z Thu 29th Dec

Day maximum for today (29th) -0.7°C.
Lowest day maximum for ANY month since January 7th 2003 (-1.0) and
lowest DECEMBER day maximum since 29th December, 2000 (-0.9°C).
The difference today from those previous two occasions is that today we
have *no* snow cover, and we have not started from a particularly low
base: the minimum read this morning was only -1.4°C.

In the past hour, any remaining low/medium level cloud has dispersed,
and we have near-overcast dense Cirrus, allowing the temperature to fall
smartly: currently -1.5°C (air) and below -2 (grass). Rain (or snow) on
this lot wouldn't be welcome!

Martin.
