No, for once not an error

I can confirm it was -9C locally east of Aboyne on Wednesday night
and -5 on Thursday morning. The temp rose to plus 8 by the time I had
driven the 30mls west to Braemar on the same morning.
Very localised cold and warm spots all over the place.

ie 0C on the top of the Cairn O Mount (1800ft) at 7pm on Wednesday
night and dropping to -9C in the glen floor along the River Feugh on
the north side of the Mounth and rising again to -4C on top of
Corsedardar before falling again to -9C in Glen Cat.

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

Alford was -9C at the same time Aboyne rose to +2C (slight westerly breeze
there helped bring warm air from above inversion down to surface
locally/for a time. Meanwhile Kinloss was +5C.

just out if interest, where did you get the Alford reading? I don't know of
any public sites over on Donside and would be keen to

It doesn't matter how many times some morons post on Usenet nor how
long they have been posting to it, they never catch on to the reason
for not top posting.

But to take this topic to a more useful level:

Has anyone ever considered examining chains of these figures to compare
their relationships?
