This may seem insignificant but the east wind has really picked up here in
the past hour despite predictions of light winds today. Also a build up of
cumulus. Temperature has fallen back down to
-1.0C at 1230, probably giving us an ice day. It makes me wonder if the
advection of colder air from France has been underdone by the models in
relation to the warm front/triple point coming in tomorrow?

Aha, I hadn't noticed that. Also sig. that there is no orange snow yet, much
uncertainty as to amounts, when and location I should think!

On the other hand,to your east, we have lost the very cold east to
north-east flow we had yesterday and overnight. Light northerlies since
mid morning so rather less cold. An Ice Day yesterday but not today. The
real bonus in all this is 3 days of unbroken sunshine.

Yes, hasn't it been great George. A complete contrast from last Jan/Feb.
Rather than snatching short opportunities to go out with my camera I
seem to be able to pick when I like. Might get a bit grey at the start
of next week but more HP, hopefully sunny ones, to come.

Up to +1.6°C here for me at Southend-on-Sea, wind northerly, but
light. Warmer than yesterday already. But looking at those METARs the
near continent is well below freezing. Don't expect any of those
showers to make it here tonight off the North Sea. Time to start
building myself up for Saturday nights event, tablets ready for that
disappointment as well!!

Now where did I throw those toys ?

A max of 2.6C and calm here - so 0.5C up on yesterday but feels much
warmer with absence of yesterday's breeze. As you say is the high
further west than the models predicted?

Odd. Synops at 12:00 and 13:00 across Devon are showing 4 to 7kts
SE'ly, including Liscombe at 348 metres. Berry Head easterly 5-8kts.

I'm supposed to be travelling back into London on Sunday from Kent.
We'll see.

Hardly a breath of wind here in Dawlish. A beautifil winter's day,
with 2C and mostly blue skies. Haytor has its own microclimate. *))

Virtually calm in Penzance all day with a glassy sea.

It dropped to -4.8C last night, with the air more or less coming down
the spine of the peninsula. This is colder than any night in 2011, and
equals the coldest night last winter (-4.8C) on 25/12/10.

It was the lowest February min on record (since 1991) beating -3.5 on
15/2/94.

With today's sunshine and the end of the east wind, it has become
slightly less cold, reaching a max of 4.9C and is showling little sign
of falling as yet, with the wind now a F1-2 S.

Fairly low cloud base patchy Sc has been edging in from the NW, and
now the typical frontal cloud is appearing.
