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

Hi, Tom,
Many places in Scotland are in really mild air atm although Aberdeen
has been surprisingly cold with a feed from England. Temperatures in
the north and especially above the inversion are all over the place.
Min here +2C last night with -2C at the Mill. Yesterday +7C high here
when it was -2C in Darlington.
It's now almost +10C here with yet more brilliant warm sunshine for the
North East, as was forecast on Countryfile. Monthly total now 83hr(R&D)
(173%). Just keep that fluctuating SW'ly going!
