It's been an unimpressive easterly this week too Nick! The "giraffe
weather" (such an excellent name Will, makes me smile every time I see
it!) came and went without most noticing (min last night of -4.3 at
Katesbridge in N. Ireland.)

It went down to -5.9C at both Odiham and Farnborough last night, and,
not being a giraffe, I can assure you it felt it!

Apologies. Centres of cold! I was taking my brief from the MetO
"latest" figures. Perhaps something a little taller than a meercat in
those areas then!

Or perhaps this giraffe?

Actually that easterly wind did have a bite to it yesterday, with
daytime max around 2C. In a 'normal' winter you would have had Penny
Tranter bleating on about a bitterly cold day!

Agree the easterly has been cold. What is surprising is just how mild
this northerly now coming into Scotland is, behind the cold front.
Edinburgh was reporting almost 8C (which must be about three degrees
above normal for up there) at 1600, behind the cold front (which must
be equivalent to about 10C around midday, so as much as 12C down
south??) looks like we're in for 36-48 hours of non-descript weather
before the real northerly arrives down here around midday Friday.
