Default Met Office: why Southampton so disproportionately mild?

I've noticed the Southampton area seems to be firmly in the mild
category on Wednesday (8C max, 7C min) while all around (including
Exeter) temperatures are much colder, e.g. Exeter 5C max 0C min for
the same time. This has happened once or twice in the current cold
spell - Southampton seems to be much milder than other south-coast
locations away from Cornwall. Why is this?

Sorry, meant "forecast to be much milder than other south-coast
locations".

Even milder than Plymouth, which is not in Cornwall though on border?

Not sure I have to admit, was looking at the national temperatures map
which doesn't show Plymouth - it shows Exeter, then Southampton, as
well as Bristol. Southampton is forecast to be significantly warmer
than either Exeter or Bristol on Wed day/night; I'm puzzled as to why
it should be milder here than these more westerly locations, as the
tendency seems to be that the more westerly locations are more likely
to be in any mild air.
