Seem to be two or three reports of mild temperatures today. Haven't
been out much today but was out at a little after 1600 when it
actually felt coldish, or at least no higher than average (this was
Southampton). I'd have estimated 7C at absolute maximum - anyone have
any figures for this area for around that time?

Thanks, that confirms my suspicions.
I'd have to counter that "mostly clear" observation though - no sign
of any stars outside!

The wind has gone back far enough to drag low dew point air off the
Continent. When I got home from work at 1700, I was could watch the dew
point sensor steadily counting back from about 4.4C to 3.6C in about an hour
or so. Now showing 3.2C

The cloud base by my estimate is between 5 000 and 7 000 ft. For the
purposes of the little airfields round here this reports as "None below
5000ft", which is true enough even though the amount is either 8/8 or 7/8.

Yes, I thought something like that might be happening: at around 1600
there were clear skies visible low in the southeast which (not having
seen the short term forecast) I guessed might have been moving
westwards. It never happened though and was wet by 2300, and this
morning there's the impression that the Atlantic has won - though not,
it would appear, for long. That said blue sky is visible for the first
time since sunset on Monday, and I certainly welcome that!
