Coldest night since 20th January at -7.3C

Another gloriously sunny day yesterday with 6.14 hours of strong sunshine, down 0.1 hours on the previous day. However, the thermometer struggled to each a maximum of 5.1C, which is 5C below the average for November. During the mid-afternoon the temperature began to drop again and by 17.20 had already reached 0C. By 19.00 it was down to -2C and then hovered just above and below this temperature for a couple of hours before steadily descending overnight to a minimum of -7.3C at 07.06. This was the coldest night since 20th January 2016, which registered -7.4C.
The barometric pressure has risen a little as the anticyclone has intensified, reading 1035.9mb at 08.00, the highest since February 2016. With a clear blue sky again this morning the sun is rising but it will struggle to push the thermometer very high again today.
