Currently (1350 UTC) -5C and down to -7C in the morning.
The airport is at a coastal location and above surrounding land.
Given the gentle airflow from W to E it looks as if cold air from
mountainous areas of Sutherland is draining across the Caithness plateau to
the coast.

The meteocentre UK analysis map shows Wick as the coldest reporting station
at 1400 UTC
