Clear and cold morning here in the City of Cardiff, temperatures dropped to 2.8C last night. Temperature is now 5.4C, no wind, 81% Humidity and a pressure of 1034mb. Forecast: Clear and cold overnight, cloudier tomorrow.

[Andy Bown]

The minimum this morning was -0.7c and it was very frosty. No fog so therefore the sun shone from the off and has been doing

so ever since. There's some Cirrus, currently 4.1c and a beautiful winter day !

[johnholmes]

The coldest day of the year for what its worth, a max of 5.9C exactly the same as the long term daily max for January-lovely day though after yet another attractive sunrise

[Stargazer]

Cold start with the first air frost of the year. Dry all day with wall-to-wall sunshine. Maximum 6.1 deg C, minimum -0.5, wind light NW.

[Isolated Frost]

Very cool... now 0.6c with 1033hpa. Perfect crystal clear skies... a very low temperature is possible here by the morning.

[Scorcher]

Beautiful day here, actually felt surprisingly springlike despite the cooler air, although not to the extent of previous days! Virtually no cloud or wind all day and the sun itself already seems to be gaining some heat, 3 weeks after the solstice.

[Coast]

Clear day here too, but never really got above 6°C as I learned to my peril on the bike at lunchtime! A lovely sunset and clear skies continuing will probably mean a nice frost overnight. I hope I can see it from the warm comfort of my bed in the morning!

[mardatha]

Well its baltic up here, back grass has stayed white all day, chickens water was frozen solid and temp was 3C at 10am. Sun made things feel a bit better middle of the day but now very cold again.

[johnholmes]

Clear day here too, but never really got above 6°C as I learned to my peril on the bike at lunchtime! A lovely sunset and clear skies continuing will probably mean a nice frost overnight. I hope I can see it from the warm comfort of my bed in the morning!
