The forecast here is actually for the next couple of nights to be the coldest of the spell, with -6C forecast Thursday and Friday night. Then 11C minimum Sunday night!

Jerry in the south of Edinburgh will be pleased to know that the temperature at his local station at Swanston was still at -1.6°C a few minutes ago, so there could still be an ice day there today.

Sadly, that is likely to be the only station in Edinburgh where that happens if that indeed, does end up being the case.

Well the mist has rolled in and the temp has shot up to a balmy -1.1c. The warmest it's been all day. Hoping the clearer weather to the north arrives soon.

It's 5.30pm now and already down to -4 C 🥶

Already -3.5°C here, and I'm on a hill. Assuming a breeze doesn't pick up or cloud moves in, this could be the coldest night for a few years.

-5.3C this morning, the coldest of the year. 

What’s disappointing however is that the above temp was recorded at 3am, and then it shot up to -1C by 6am, so an even colder night was missed. 

Currently -3C, so if the skies stay clear it could be quite cold indeed. Also very happy the sunshine has returned.

Still cloudy here but forecast is for skies to clear and -6C by morning. 

note if skies are clear where you are have a look for meteors!

-5c is very cold for here up on the hill. We don't get particularly low temps, so snow is the main winter excitement which is severely lacking this time. 
Even in 1995 and 2010 the min fell short of minus double digits, -9.5c lowest I have ever recorded.

The temperature here has shot up from -2C at 4pm to +1C now, not sure what is going on as this is meant to be the coldest night of the spell so far. 

Even -6C wouldn’t be notably cold here, we get to -10 reasonably often in cold snaps thanks to the sandy soil.

Here in Edinburgh, the temperatures are now refusing to drop any further than what they were here at 5pm this evening.😡

Even at Swanston in the south of Edinburgh, the temperature at 9pm this evening was still only down at -1.9°C which is not much different from what the daytime maximum temperature was there during the day.😡

Really cold tonight at the two “Manchester” stations.

-9C at Rostherne and -7C at Manchester Airport currently.

Impressive this side of midnight.

Wind and cloud cover are always our two biggest enemies on winter nights as it is either one of them or the combination of both which then causes the temperatures to refuse to drop and sometimes even go up over time, even during the night.

In this case, it is too much wind which is the big issue and so, we are actually doing really well just now to still be hanging onto that ice day at Swanston in spite of that.

-8.5C here

Incredible depth of surface cold considering there's no snow on the ground. A couple of CM of snow and we'd be looking at -15 tonight.

The temp has been hovering around -4C for the past few hours now, probably because a breeze keeps picking up.

Actually summer nights 15-20 are not as uncommon as you seem to think in some coastal areas of the UK in fact quite normal. Now those same reasons such night's are so warm are the same reasons winter nights can be as warm as 11C here.... We're a small set of islands surrounded by waters often in the path of tropical/ sub air currents.

Temperature at Edinburgh Swanston has now risen to -0.9°C as at 2am GMT (02:00 UTC) this morning and if the temperature there goes above freezing at any point in time between now and 9am GMT (09:00 UTC), yesterday won't be going down as an ice day after all.😡

That in turn will mean that not a single major station in Edinburgh will have recorded an ice day during yesterday and even as it is, that figure which I have just reported is actually now technically yesterday's daily maximum temperature as it stands, despite the fact that it has occurred in the wee small hours of the following morning.😡

That just shows how unbelievable our weather can be at times.😡

Sums up this cold spell for us: https://i.imgur.com/A39s0hP.jpg 

I don’t understand why it’s so cold west of the Pennines (and indeed further south) but not here. A balmy -1.7C at Leeming, usually one of the colder stations on nights like tonight. Even bloody Blackpool is at -7C. 

I swear it’s like everything during this cold spell has conspired to piss me off 😂
