BBC said some parts of south coast struggled to get above 5 degrees which I am alarmed at - colder than most days this winter..

 

Indeed much of central and se and east England hardly what you could describe as a 'warm day' with maxima struggling into double figures.

 

It shows what difference sun makes at this time of year.
