Today's maximum was just 6.0°C making it the coldest day since the 3rd
of February 2015 (5.8°C). The entire winter of 2015/16 didn't produce a
high maximum as low as today's.
There also occurred a very rare event today, freezing fog! Though it
didn't last long and the temperature soon climbed above freezing but it
was only the 2nd time in 10 years I have seen it. The fog gradually
disappeared and 4 hours of 'not that warm' sunshine occurred from late
morning until mid-afternoon.
Another very cold night is upon us. The Devonshire folk around 'ere are
struggling with this Arctic weather...... Wood burner blazing away but
eating into my winter stash already. And to think, my lowest maximum for
December last year was 11.2°C.

A lot warmer down here Nick.
10C up at Culdrose
11.2C at St Ives
12.1C at Land's End
12C at St Mary's hilltop airport
13.4C on St Martins.
I haven't checked the final max in Penzance, but it was certainly above yesterdays max 10.7C.
Seems to be milder air affecting Scilly and the tip of Cornwall, to the west of the low cloud that plagued parts of SE Cornwall.
An absolute cracker of a day, as these temperatures were combined with sunshine and very little breeze.
