Temp graph comparing the last 7 days to the same dates last year:

No prices for guessing which line is this year..

The last couple of nights have been up to 24C warmer than the same nights last year! Some places i.e in the Midlands got close to -20C last Christmas and this year have been in double figures overnight, so could some places have seen a difference of 30C? :blink:

According to Wunderground, Benbecula has topped 19C!

Is this one of their mis-readings or is it genuine?

Anyway, 11.9C here. Temperature not changing much due to the cloud cover.

Definitely an error, particularly as Benbecula is on western side of Scotland. I'd be suspicious even if Lossiemouth was reporting 19c let alone Benbecula.

Cloudy, mild and windy here with the temperature around 10.6c and having moved little from the value at 0900.

Mean wind speed is a few mph either side of. 30 mph .
