Minima (weatheronline)

Carlisle -9°


and -5C yesterday morning

Well done the much-maligned Met Office computer-generated forecast
of -7C to -9C for Penrith (see post "Weekend min temp" from Calum on
21st)

.... remarkable, if correct: the EGNC first METAR has a temperature of
0C - a dramatic rise from an overnight min of -9degC! Doesn't appear to
tie in with WeatherOnline's own plots of minima in that part of the
world either.

If you want to see a crass automated output - have a look at the Met
Office index page and the symbol chart showing sunshine and showers for
the southeast: I am looking out at a grey, misty downpour - sunshine not
on offer.

Martin.
