Blimey Nick you're like an old man. :-)
Just checked and Xmas Day 2006 had a max. of 5.1C up here in Haytor, hardly
perishingly cold and the wind was just as strong up here being SE'ly!

Everywhere is just damp in these bloomin southwesterlies, max. +10.6C which
was very mild but give me the dry and genuinely cold weather any day!

Roll on the easterlies!

Bad luck Graham! Warmest day here for weeks - 13.4C and reasonably bright
at times.

Lost the cold but also lost the sunshine as well, only managed 0.8 hours
today.

A max of 12.3°C earlier this afternoon. Despite the dullness it is such a
pleasure to outside without feeling the cold. Shame it's all about to
change with a nasty SE wind likely to be blowing down these parts. That
can make things really horrible with a raw wind blowing in off the sea.

This Xmas Day weather looks like it will be a repeat of Xmas Day 2006. We
all went for a stroll along the beach but had to give up after a short
while because the SE wind was so cold it made your face go numb.
Perishingly unpleasant springs to mind. We had to head for the Old Ship to
thaw out.

(19:45), 9.8°C, RH 85%, DP 7.3°C, 1031 hPa (R), Wind 6 mph W.
