Slightly weird temperature fluctuation IMBY - hit -3.8c then quickly increased up to -3.1c.

Assume it'll drop off again at some point, would be odd to have the lowest min in the evening, usually happens around 5-7am unless there's a change in airmass or the wind picks up.

Went down to -5.7C last night but nothing out of usual and more like average standard mid winter frosty temps.   Conservatory was -2.6C and was shocked to see ice crystals on the outside glass formed on my 2nd bedroom new window facing south which sit above the conservatory roof.  I was surprised why ice crystals was formed on uPVC windows? not had that since the old days when the temps go down to -10C or below it iced inside.  Same thing appeared on the bathroom new window next to Bed 2 but not the window on the side for the toliet room have none as it facing the neighouring house as I live end of terrace property.

-4.3c as it been around this level of -4 to -4.5.  I put my old thermometer max and min on the grass to record grass min temps, possible hit -10 despite no snow cover and i am not in the frost hollow.

There's been a similar lack of falling temperatures here, it's been hovering around -2.5 all night, again no wind and no cloud. It always intrigues me as to why temperatures level off like that, after all there's no incoming radiation to warm things up! I'd have expected a gradual fall all night long, but that seldom happens.

-7C in Cambridge the freezing fog that was forecast to develop has failed to form and the meto app just has few hours of mist now( no sign of any forming atm). So may drop another degree with another 4 hours or so to go. 

Lowest I can see on Wundermap is -19C near Kinbrace brrrr 🥶🥶

Looks like Altnaharra bottomed out at -18.7C so no -20. 

Edit: in fact the 9am update shows it reached -18.9C some time after 6am. 

Private weather stations local to me are around -8C this morning.

No signs of a mid morning drop so far, so that will probably be the lowest of this spell.

Lowest recorded at the private networks was -19.9C just outside Carrbridge.

On a slight tangent, Aberdeen Airport currently has a mean temperature for the month so far as -0.5°C (compared with the long term average of 3.9°C). 

My own monthly mean so far is a bit higher, as I live in the city, but is still a chilly 0.2°C at time of writing. 

Further north Tulloch Bridge’s (West Highlands) January mean is -2.9°C (5.7°C below average).

These will all change considerably in the coming days but it has been a notably cold start to the year.

With a max of -9.6°C in Altnaharra yesterday it was the coldest January day in 43 years (since 1982). 

The official minimum last night was -18.9°C again in Altnaharra.
