Thought it was too good to be true, weather station has had some kind of brain-storm! Temp is falling quickly in showers but not as low as reported earlier. Currently 10.5C. Still blustery hail showers though and chilly in the wind. I suspect possible interference to the wireless signal.

Bit of egg on ones face doesn't do anybody any harm lol
