UPDATE
The inversion persisted throughout the day, with very light winds & a maximum temperature of only 2.0 (this is over 6 degrees below the November average daytime figure) Not,however, a record; the coldest November day appears to have been -4.5 in 1985. A few snowflakes were to be seen around 1300hrs---the first of the season at our altitude.
A very nippy start, though fine & clear, apart from some valley mist bands. The rain(possibly snow) promised yesterday, has slowed down & is now expected nearer to lunchtime, probably showery in nature, so the afternoon more cloudy than the morning. Any snow is more likely on higher ground, though not much in any event. We may suffer from a "temperature inversion" today---meaning that a pool of cold, heavy air may persist in the valley bottom all day long. Should this happen, winds will stay very light & highest temperatures only reach 2 or 3 degrees. Tonight should be mainly dry & frosty.
