Default Urban Heat Island this morning

Quite impressive. Below freezing widely in SE and Central Southern England
(eg -2 in Wokingham) but + 6.7 deg as I arrived at work on Fleet Street
just after 0800.


When I was forecasting at London Weather Centre in the late 70s/early 80s
the default minimum for central London in winter was 7C. i.e. if you were
unsure, just go for 7C and you would not be far out on a radiation night. As
you observe it can be -4C in the sticks and 7C in central London. I suspect
the heat island has spread a bit too?
