I noticed in the Daily Mail this morning that (according to them) the
highest/lowest UK temps yesterday we Altnaharra, Highland +11C and
Aberdeen -7C.

If Altnaharra (which often figures as the coldest UK location) was that
warm, (foehn effect?) wouldn't Aberdeen also have been similarly affected -
possibly more so, being more in the lea of the Highlands?

Or has the paper got its locations muddled up? I'd expected somewhere in
the Western Isles to be the warmest in the UK yesterday

Hi, Tom,
Many places in Scotland are in really mild air atm although Aberdeen
has been surprisingly cold with a feed from England. Temperatures in
the north and especially above the inversion are all over the place.
Min here +2C last night with -2C at the Mill. Yesterday +7C high here
when it was -2C in Darlington.
It's now almost +10C here with yet more brilliant warm sunshine for the
North East, as was forecast on Countryfile. Monthly total now 83hr(R&D)
(173%). Just keep that fluctuating SW'ly going!

No, for once not an error

I can confirm it was -9C locally east of Aboyne on Wednesday night and -5 on
Thursday morning. The temp rose to plus 8 by the time I had driven the 30mls
west to Braemar on the same morning.
Very localised cold and warm spots all over the place.

ie 0C on the top of the Cairn O Mount (1800ft) at 7pm on Wednesday night and
dropping to -9C in the glen floor along the River Feugh on the north side of
the Mounth and rising again to -4C on top of Corsedardar before falling
again to -9C in Glen Cat.

Alford was -9C at the same time Aboyne rose to +2C (slight westerly breeze
there helped bring warm air from above inversion down to surface locally/for
a time. Meanwhile Kinloss was +5C.

It doesn't matter how many times some morons post on Usenet nor how
long they have been posting to it, they never catch on to the reason
for not top posting.

But to take this topic to a more useful level:

Has anyone ever considered examining chains of these figures to compare
their relationships?
