It's usually chilliest just at dawn, or just after is it not?


No. It's between 4-5am.


Sorry, this just isn't true. It is coldest soon after sunrise
and I have 24 year's thermograph traces to prove it. There is no
reason why the temperature should rise before sunrise in the absence
of any change of wind or cloud.


I've always thought that on occasions such as this spell and the last
one, calm, sunny, frosty mornings it gets intensely cold at dawn. But
so many people who, as far as I know, have years of data have
countered that statement in times past, I just went with it.

Without agreeing.

Check your thermograph against the list of lunar dates provided and I
am almost certain you'll be pleasantly surprised. Unless you are
Richard Dixon.

Or Conor?
