An unexpected mild start to day

Yes I was hoping for a frost but high/medium level cloud has streamed in and lifted the temp to 4.2c and it didn't drop below 2.1c anyway!

[Evening thunder]

Currently 1.6C after a min of -0.2C at 05:21 so just about an air frost here.

It has risen slightly due to our friend the high cloud, however this has just provided a fantastic sunrise!
