Although it's probably only of interest to an old obsessive like me, there seems to be a bit of confusion about the lowest temperature in February and indeed the whole of 2018.

That's the first time I've seen a -14.2 C mentioned at Faversham, although several people have since mentioned it to me.

However

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate.../2018/february

doesn't mention Faversham, sticking with the much higher (*but still a bit nippy) 11.7 at South Farnborough.

Anyone know any more?

Looking at the "last updated" dates of the two articles, I note that the climate summary at the second link predates the "interesting" article in the first link. So I would assume further data arrived (or, perhaps, passed quality control checks) between the publication of the two articles, which included the Faversham minimum.
