Looks OK to me, Dick, with light winds and over 6 hours of sunshine. Other
stations in the northeast without fog were reporting 6C at 1200z. Albermarle
ascent would support a max of 8C given the conditions.

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.
