I'm back in Staffordshire at the moment, but I notice that the
temperature last night fell to a chilly 0.9°C at 07:25am this
morning. By far the coldest night since last winter.

However, in comparing local sites, I didn't find anything that cold
from last night. However, most of the sites that report online are not
representative of my site - they're all higher or on the coast. I know
there's a station at Wye (at the agricultural college) - does anyone
know what temperature was recorded there last night?

Hi, Jonathan,

Sorry, no info for Wye but it looks like you're on of the coldest,
apart from Redhill (of course!) at -2C, Hereford 0C and Aboyne and
Shawbury 1C. General min in the usual cold spots seems to have been 2C
to 3C.

3C here in Copley with grass -0C too much wind here atm for seasonal
mins. Mean min so far is 6.5C, normal is 1.9C! So here we go again for
a very mild month, and another mild, windy and wet ): winter.

Good article by Ian Currie in the papers the other day btw putting the
coming winter into perspective. No heart ruling head, that's what I
like.

Best wishes,

Air min in Chalfont St Giles was 1.2C with a grass min of -1.9C. Nice to
see everything white early on :-)

Not as cold up here in the far north. Last night's min was 3.8C. I've
not had anything lower than 2.0C so far this autumn. By contrast I
recorded 1.3C on 7th June.

Exactly the same air min in Chiswell Green St Albans - ice on the cars. Much
colder than forecast so it was a good thing the lemon trees were wheeled up
close to the house (they live in the conservatory in winter).
