I noticed in the Daily Mail this morning that (according to them) the
highest/lowest UK temps yesterday we Altnaharra, Highland +11C and
Aberdeen -7C.

If Altnaharra (which often figures as the coldest UK location) was that
warm, (foehn effect?) wouldn't Aberdeen also have been similarly affected -
possibly more so, being more in the lea of the Highlands?

Or has the paper got its locations muddled up? I'd expected somewhere in
the Western Isles to be the warmest in the UK yesterday
