The thermometer struggled to reach a maximum of 2.7C yesterday, just after 2pm. It then drifted downwards again and started to freeze very early just before 5pm. After an initial halt to the lowering temperature in early evening it reached a mimimim of -4.3C at sunrise this morning.
The very cold days and nights have meant that the frost has permeated deep into the ground and my soil thermometer, at a depth of 5cm, is reading -3.2C at 08.00 this morning. The sun today is rising into a blue sky after 6 hours of strong sunshine yesterday (100 W/sq.m.).
