I've noticed the Southampton area seems to be firmly in the mild

Sorry, meant "forecast to be much milder than other south-coast
locations".

Nick

Even milder than Plymouth, which is not in Cornwall though on border?

Stan

Not sure I have to admit, was looking at the national temperatures map
which doesn't show Plymouth - it shows Exeter, then Southampton, as
well as Bristol. Southampton is forecast to be significantly warmer
than either Exeter or Bristol on Wed day/night; I'm puzzled as to why
it should be milder here than these more westerly locations, as the
tendency seems to be that the more westerly locations are more likely
to be in any mild air.
