A very nice graphic Jean, thanks. Just illustrates how the UK is protected from the real cold by the North Sea in this sort of airflow. I take it you are expecting an ice day in Paris today? I imagine it must feel very bitter on the continent this morning with temperatures well below zero and a keen easterly wind. Even Stuttgart which is quite far west in Germany is at -10C at the moment.

It is also the windchill which is noticeable here in Paris , for Orly Airport temps and windchill :

Today's maximum 2.2, last night's minimum -2.9.
