    Good morning all.
    Whereas the BBC believes it's 1c outside, others measure and confirm what I thought: it's much warmer than announced.
    Currently 6c, might go down to 4c. It says it doesn't go higher than 6c, but since the forecast said 1c over night, we might get 10c today.
    That the BBC was wrong with their forecast is not the problem, others did say same, but whereas other pages measure the temperature, the BBC page just shows a forecast and can't be used as real temperature. I noticed that before, now it's obvious.

        Dry and chilly with light cloud today. It doesn’t look very frosty so maybe it didn’t go as low as predicted?

            Cloudy start, but frosty too. O'night low was minus 1 degree [almost 1 degree just now at approx. 8.00am] with a predicted high of about 5 or 6 again. The minus 1 was last night rather than this morning, but it may drop again when it gets light. To stay cloudy, with rain coming in later on.

            Yesterday was dry with a high of 6 degrees later in the day. Cloudy, but clear skies in the evening and the frost by 7pm.

            The forecast also depends on where the nearest monitors are to your own location @simone_in_wiltshire , and that can give higher or lower readings depending on your proximity to them, and how accurately they can adjust to that. Our nearest one is further west, and at much lower altitude, so it's usually higher than the actual temps here.

                    Medium cloud and 5c all day. It wasn't frosty last night after all.

                    The sun maybe trying to poke through.

                    Chilly and damp feel outside, but very calm.

                    We have lost our BBC channels altogether now since storm Bert. There was some maintenance work going on, but that has finished and now last night we had nothing. The weather does sometimes affect reception as the rain pours down the oak trees at the back of us. We did a retune and no frequency/channel 43 was found at all. There are instructions online, most of which we have considered, but did find a phone number - rare things these days. Will have a look again at this problem in the daytime with calm weather.

                                It's been dull and still this morning. The forecast is for it to brighten up but there's no sign of the sun at the moment.
