Ken,

That max of 8.3C at the Met Office site looks suspect. The nearest
radiosonde ascent, not too far away at Albermarle, showed no sign of
an inversion at your elevation at 12Z yesterday, and indicated a
temperature of about 3C at 250m. I notice the Met Office give 8.2C at
Durham as the highest max for NE England yesterday, so presumably they
dismissed it.

Interesting Ken.
We have fog also, dense hill fog as per yesterday morning also.
Temps are very different as well, not at home currently, but very
little fluctuation between night and morning 3 to 4c for the past 48
hours.
Have noted that temp is now falling. At Eddsfield above us on the
hill, now 1.3 having fallen back from 4.4.
