Dear Met Office, thanks for making us look silly... again

Interesting story about today's cloud amounts...

I must admit I never expected it to clear here till Thursday after listening to the forecast, but it did take till mid afternoon to break up in mid Devon.

I notice a big moon rising and a lot of good breaks at the moment in mid-Devon. 

Going by the dewpoint at the time of max temp, and if it keeps clear we could get a min of 4 or 5 at Exeter airport, or it may fog out before it gets that low.

Cloud rolled back in so 10°C was as low as it went, but a little lower than the "12 or 13" forecast.
