Min of -2.1C this morning followed by glorious sunshine but a
max of just 3.5C. When I looked back in my records (admittedly
only back to 2000) I was very surprised to see these were the
coldest max and coldest min I have recorded in November
by a considerable margin. However this is presumably due to the
mildness of recent Novembers rather than today being particularly
cold by historical standards.

7.1 minmum last night, and 10.0 maximum today in Penzance.

The cold air hasn't really reached the far SW.

Only 2 November days have failed to reach 10 degrees here this decade.
9.3 on 13/11/2000 and 9.9 on 23/11/2003, which demonstrates just how mild
Novembers have become.
In addition I have only recorded 4 air frosts in November since 1991, the
last being 22/11/1996!

What exactly is cold weather, I seem to have forgotten since I was lucky
enough to escape from Swindon & return home.
