True - to a point

It was 8C and sunny here mid afternoon, so it was very busy out with
people enjoying the sunshine. Even at 18:55 the local weather at 18:55
(which I saw) showed a minimum of 3C for Penzance last night. This
despite the fact iwas already close to 0C

Most things in life are a calculated risk, still sad when things go
seriously wrong.
