Matt Taylor (Radio 4) mentioned minima of 17-18 in the SE tonight without making anything of it. I wondered if he realised how high and thought at the time it was unlikely but it's now looking quite possible. Earlier (9..45 pm)I was on the phone to my brother, who lives near Llandudno and is only a moderate weather nut, and he said that as we spoke the temperature (19) was higher than at any time during the day, which had been coolish with rain. It seems this current SSE'ly flow is remarkably warm. A pity it won't last.

You really are in a frost hollow aren't you Scott! 15.7C here and
Woodford up the road from you was 16.3C, nevertheless, not especially mild.

That is really surprising! Met Office have expressed an interest in siting an official station here after I pointed out their coverage of this part of London is so patchy and there is an interesting microclimate here

Down to 10.5C @ 03:51 here is West Surrey, so not particularly warm at all.

Minimum here was 15.5°C. It had been falling rather quickly but at about 23Z stopped and then rose slowly as a SSE'ly breeze picked up.

Minimum 16.6°C here, which equals my previous highest minimum of the
summer (00h-00h). *However* on an 09Z-09Z basis, the minimum on July
1st was 21.4°C and during the real night time, 21Z to 09Z on the 1st,
it was 22.3°C. Now that was a _true_ muggy night and I laugh in the
face of 17°C.

Just goes to show how misleading max-min stats can be if you don't
qualify them!

The other thing, Dave, is that there have been some heavy mists early morning this week on Wanstead Flats. Not that I'm ever up to see them
