Ah, a classic GFS fail tonight... but with GFSP failing as well; minimums of -1*C predicted for most areas, currently -3*C to -6*C very widely across The South.
Of particular interest to me are 10pm reports of -3*C from just east of Portsmouth (Thorney Island), -4*C from Southampton and -5*C from Bournemouth Airport. Unusual for the South Coast in the absence of snow cover.
The frost hollow site, Benson, reported -6*C as of 10pm.
I'm already down to -3.7*C IMBY which makes it the coldest night of the year to date... with just three days left to go.
