Coningsby (East Midlands) looks the coldest at 2pm at -6.3C after earlier fog seems to have lifted. I don't know if they are meant to stay clear overnight but it could get impressively cold if they do. That part of the country got a few highs below -5C in December 2010 but still, it's not the kind of thing that happens very often!

Yes, Mildenhall was -6.0c at 2pm and Lakenheath -6.7c. Neither are met office stations, but both are WMO registered (like a lot of commercial airports eg Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, Heathrow, although i believe Heathrow is WMO and UKMetOffice registered)
What's the official status of the Chesham site then? It's meant to be a private, non-standard site but seems to get reported in some media as though it was official even though it gets suspiciously low temperatures. I've never understood either why quite obscure places are included on the Met Office list but some of the major cities are not.
Chesham is private, not official.. I'll find the link to the site, but I agree its temperatures appear suspicious and nowhere else near this area gets as low, not even Benson, and Chesham is so close to London. But then again, I always wonder how certain places that are not frost hollows fall so low while other places with the same geography stay milder.. our overnight temperature was weak compared to some areas further south and east despite being clear and with snow.. this country is so odd when it comes to the weather
By the way, I don't think -6C will be the high at that site, it's due to get milder later tonight.. shame cause if the skies stayed clear I am sure it'd be even colder
