Monday Night - Lowest Temperature Recorded Competition

[Snowyowl9]

First air frost now at -0.4c so just about broke november what`s left of it.

[Backtrack]

1.4c and is taking the p*$$

Wont drop at all, not a cloud in the sky, no wind. NOTHING

Just wont move... Hasn't done so for an hour.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

It could simply be your thermometer is sheltered, or too near a heat-source?

[Yozzer]

Just been for walk round Ballater golf course with dog. Yes its 10pm, but bright moonshine and snow cover here... Anyway, reckon Aboyne might get to -8.4, with Braemar bottoming out at -10.3, sometime between 6 and 7am.

Plenty of places in England on 1-3c presently, most of which will see and air frost later tonight, as it becomes calm as the ridge crosses tonight, so no worries Backtrack.

Its typical of all the station around here to be honest, mine included.

It always happens near the coast where the temperature stops falling, then near dawn it drops sharply it's a fairly normal occurrence I think

I think it's just irritation that it isn't -5C already

Braemar -11.2c at 7.23am just before sunrise

Mine does that

It tends to sit stationary depressing the hell out of you, then - it rises by 0.1 maybe up to 0.3 and then sits stationary and then plummets.....

Chances are within an hour you are going to reach something like a -1.2'C/hr drop rate...

[Snowyowl9]

Totally clear but up to 0.1c.

Edited too many now`s

That's how the "alarmists" get their [global] warming data, apparently

Anyway, I notice -6c now at Loch Glascarnoch weather station (which I drove past for first time ever earlier this year)

Not sure, it's on the gate away from the house where it has always been, gives really accurate readings.

Funny thing is, my other weather station always reads 0.5c higher than the other one, and about 0.3c higher than my other, all the sensors are in the same position.

1.1c now.

[damianslaw]

Coldest spot Aboyne at -10 degrees 7am

England either Shap or Spadeadam at -6 at 6am

[Richie V]

Now -0.4◘

[Marcus_surfer]

Around 2 degrees C here, 2 miles from the coast

[phil b]

-0.3c here 5 miles from brum city center

[WhiteXmas]

Not in the house tonight but was out in the car at about 8.30 and the temperature went down to -5c

[Guest]

Naah,

I think the low temperatures are overstated for the time of year just having had a wet mild spell + the ground is generally wet or even soggy which will limit the drop, say a min of about +1 at Watford and about -6 in the glens of Scotland.

For the max, I would say the lowest max at +3 and the highest about +7 in SE - all in C

[Mondy]

Made it to -7c again here.

[Iceni]

It's been clear all night and the moon's shining, but the temperature's only got down to 0.6 ° C. Why?
