    Very localised and interesting conditions.

    All three stations are Davis Vantage pro's :-

    Annamoe :- Air 0.4°C DP -0.4°C
    Ashford (about 10km due east towards the coast):- Air 5.7°C DP -0.2°C
    Arklow (South of Ashford):- Air 4.2°C DP 0.7°C

    Is curious stuff, I find the DP's very odd.

    Was that low supposed to be moving northwards ? Looks to me as if it's making off westwards.

    Looking at the IR http://sat24.com/Region.aspx?country=gb&sat=ir&type=loop
    This thing is dying, is a shame, I still have lying snow from the easterly last week, this could have been epic!
    Just going to be another frosty night it seems now.

    I think likely that frost hollows could see double digit minus figures tonight, but judging by dewpoints currently at Claremorris and couple NRA stations I think -8C or perhaps just -9C is as low we'll see reported from them.

    Add Bray to that list of Wierdo wicklow weather

    5.9c and a dp of 0.5c

    At least the dp is 3 or 4 degree's below the temp now unlike the 0.5c below the air temp as it was for most of the day.
