No this was at 6pm ... Dropped to 8C now. Most odd. Have to invest in an analogue jobbie .... (But it felt like 14C)

Met office is saying we should be around 8C at the moment. Currently 14C, having risen from 12C at 16:30.

Common to see a couple of degrees variation in estimate from the different forecasting sites. Also, some weather conditions seem more suited to reliable forecasts than others.

Here in the Cotswolds we have plenty of valleys 100 metres or so deep, in the right (wrong?) conditions we can have 100 mm of snow settling on the tops and only a dusting in the valleys.

check if you have a local independent weather station near

They have an API too. I wrote a program that uses the API and reports data in a way that can be displayed on my desktop.
