UK min. temps on Friday night http://tinyurl.com/3ho629d

Keswick 4.3°C, Redesdale 4.2°C, Warcop 4.0°C, Loch Glascarnoch 3.9°C,
Port Ellen (Islay) 3.6°C, West Freugh 3.5°C, Sennybridge 3.3°C, Tulloch
Bridge 2.7°C, Eskdalemuir 2.5°C, Shap 1.4°C.

Every day for the last couple of weeks or more the Daily Telegraph has
shown the lowest minimum in the country as being "Cairngorms". I assume
that someone must have put an AWS at the top of a mountain, but even so
the values being quoted seem remarkably low. They always seem to be
below freezing, and on a couple of occasions have been as low as -6°C.
The Telegraph gets its data from one of the big private forecasting
outfits. Presumably the Cairngorms data isn't recognised by the Met
Office.
