Yes, that is, I think, the lowest of the month so far. Very few Februarys
pass by without a minimum below -10ºC somewhere in the UK, even
in the present mild era.

The 21-09 reports revealed -10.2ºC at Altnaharra (presumably,
therefore, having occurred between 06 and 09z).

http://www.thisisbournemouth.co.uk/d...er/minmax.html now seems to
use the 06z and 18z figures for its lists of extreme temperatures. Many of
the min. temps quoted there will obviously be higher than the
"climatological" values reported at 09z.

Have there been (many) other cases so far this winter of min. temps
below -10°C ?
