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.


There's the lesser suburban heat island too where I live. There is
nothing truly urban near me (halfway between Portsmouth and
Southampton, and well outside Fareham town) but plenty of suburban
sprawl.

So, my back garden minumim was +0.2C but the much more exposed
Southampton airport (also Hurn) reported -2C for a while, similar to
my grass minimum of -2.2.
