The screen maximum here was 11.3°C after a min of -2.6°C. Frankly, I don't believe this figure and I reckon the true max was about 8°C. This has happened a number of times before in winter with a strong low sun and more importantly, no wind to speak of. I didn't measure the air temperature by waving a thermometer about in the shade of a bush but I have done so before and found differences up to 3.5 degC. The screen and thermometers are all quite kosher - it's a defect of the system and will remain so until a fan becomes mandatory equipment.
