Those were the temps at 1950Z accroding to xcweather.
I was walking in the rain when the cold front came through. The most
noticeable thing, apart from the intensity of the rain, was the sudden
icy blast coming out of the north following a day of negligible wind. There
seemed to have been a narrow warm sector which took the temperature
up to 9ºC for less than two hours up to 1900Z; by 1945 it was 3ºC, and
at 2000Z it was 1ºC and snowing heavily. The snow soon eased, but
continued gently till about 2215Z, leaving 1cm on grass, cars, and roofs.
Most surprising of all was the fact that 33.2mm of rain fell in 16 hours
to 2200Z with 30.6mm since 0900Z ... the biggest November fall
in a "rainfall day" here since 17th in 1974, with only three bigger ones
in the last 100 years (assuming no more overnight). The lake in
Wardown Park is in flood.
