23:50 on a December night and Lossiemouth is reporting 13c!

In fact 12/13c is being reported widely down the East coast of Scotland
and England.

Amazing!


It was warm/mild enough to play tennis in a t-shirt in Tiverton at 6pm this
evening and I wasn't the only one either ! Quite remarkable really.
Car sensor read 14°C but I think 13°C was probably nearer the mark.
Who needs winter :-)

Max in Penzance 13.5C yesterday, 13.4C today, min last night 11.2C.
Bright this morning, a bit damp since 15:30, and still quite windy.
(Max Gust today 36mph). Still no single figure maximum this
autumn/winter.

The warmest years I've recorded are 2003 (12.37C) followed by 2002
(12.26), I think this year will come in at No. 2. (Currently running at
12.42C - but some chilly nights to come)

May well be near perfect surfing conditions this weekend, with
sunshine, light winds and a swell forecast of 4-6'. It will make a
change after the recent spell of dangerous big & blown out conditions.
It's been a rough time for the seal pups.
