.... this is the second time I've noticed that the Met Office have
deliberately or otherwise suppressed the Hurn minimum temperatu on
their 'extremes' web page for the UK ...

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

then the South Farnborough value is shown, and on the SW page

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

it's the Yeovilton value that is credited.
[these pages will only be appropriate if viewed today/Tuesday/up to
mid evening]

The Hurn minimum reported at 30/0600Z of -4.3°C is easily supported by
the hourly SYNOPs: the lowest such temperature was -4.1°C at 30/0500Z.
The Hurn minimum looks fine. We went down to -1.5°C, which given the
woeful exposure in our small back garden was jolly cold! Hurn would
have been at least a couple of degrees colder.

On the MetO site Camborne & Culdrose both appear to have remained
above 8C (8.0C at Camborne, 8.3C at Culdrose?) The dewpoint here was
around 8C overnight.
