6.2C here overnight but -3.5C recorded at Tulloch Bridge amongst several subzero in Scotland after yesterday's highlands snow. Currently 16.2C and high cloud allowing the breeze to feel cool.

A vile day here; after the temperature plummeted down to a dismal 5°C overnight, the day began to show promise with sunny intervals and 15°C being reached at noon. However, a cold front quickly arrived and the temperature has now dropped to 10°C by 4PM, unbelievably, rendering the day largely useless and colder feeling than half of February. The only thing I haven't seen is rain so far, unless it is that fine drizzle that is invisible to the human eye but thoroughly drenching when one makes the mistake of heading out into it.

It is not a cold front bringing the rain but a warm front. The decrease in temperature is due to the cloud covering the sun?

The first few spots of rain here after a lovely morning, although a breeze came along in spite of the high of 18.1 C now down to 12.5 with a dewpoint of 9 C

Well, wasn't really looking at the charts recently, but it seemed like a very fast temp drop. But now the dew point has started going up.  And yeah it is raining now, just went outside and didn't realise because it is barely visible to the human eye.
