That Rosehearty figure must surely be a mistake ?? The highest
temperature here between 0600 and 1800 was only 6.4C.

Further along the Moray Firth coast it managed only 5C at Lossiemouth
and 6C at Kinloss (according to WeatherOnline) and these would be the
places more likely to benefit from a foehn effect. The most likely
explanation that I can find is that the Met Office have added a 1 to
5.3C by mistake.

Max daytime temp here was indeed about 5.3C, so that would fit.
