I've been following the contrast in temperatures and wind speed this week
between here in the far W and NW, and places in the south east. It's been
quite a persistent feature. Earlier this week we had a -1C, with London
and surroundings well over 10C at night.

Last night we just had an air frost yet I see one station near London was
+16C at 0600 GMT (What ever did happen to the cold spell being forecast
last week in the media:-)). Wind speeds here have been much lighter than
across in many parts of GB, with a virtual calm last night.
