Default Rapid Temperature Rise

A quite dramatic increase in air temperature was recorded at Bournemouth
Airport this morning. At 0300Z it was +1.3°C with a very light NW'ly, by
0330Z the wind had backed SW'ly, increased slightly and the temperature had
shot up to +9.8°C. A rise of 8.5 degrees in 30mins.

The actual sequence was :-

0300Z +1.3
0310Z +5.2
0320Z +8.4
0330Z +9.8

It had several of us thinking of an October night in 1987.
