The weather station in my back garden is currently reading 39.4F after a high of 41.6F today. 

I have a low of 25F forecast tonight, but the recent forecasts have been largely off. I don't think the low will drop below 34F, as we have quite a bit of cloud cover. I reckon they will be wrong for the 3rd consecutive night, predicting it to be far colder than it actually gets.

Currently hovering between 79 and 81F  at 3:52 pm (MST) after reaching 82 an hour ago. Most neighborhood stations reading low - mid 70s across the east valley ( Chandler / Gilbert/ Mesa / Tempe.. inside the loop 202) Mainly lower 70s outside the loop. Downtown Phoenix and areas surrounding South Mountain / Sky Harbor hanging in the mid 70s.  Second day the nearest neighborhood Wx station crossed the 80F threshold so far this year.  Some renegade stations around Mesa and Tempe reached 82-84F earlier also.  Chandler Muni Airport is at 70F currently, ( per the NWS's station there)

Hovering between 76-78F at 2:49 pm (MST, Rialto Hills Wx station. Closest to the house)

Most other neighborhood  stations within 2 miles of the house running between 69-76F.. Pretty similar numbers across the rest of the valley  also atm.  Chandler muni,  (per NWS station there) reading 67F. Looks to stay in the 60s- low 70s for awhile.. Maybe another dip into the 30s for a couple nights sometime next week.  Nothing concerning though, for now at least. "In-accu"weather was trying to bring sub 30f lows into the forecast for nest Tues /Wed morning..

What a coincidence: 11:08pm 58F

And no rain. Seems it won't hit until 1-2pm tomorrow. The weather channels were adamant about rain hitting us tonight into tomorrow morn.

I really feel sorry for our eastern states, the over night minimum in central NSW was 36c the night before last! They've been recording some very warm temps, 48c and above, very nasty. I'm currently sitting in the pool with a cold beer, it's helping. :D

I know they hit 41C at my cousins house in Joondalup. But I don't think my aunt and uncle saw hotter than 35C in Sorrento, along the coast.

I bet all the pot farms in the Mundaring forest have been hit hard by this hot, dry spell. They must have reached the mid 40s there today. Looks like even more dope shortages incoming for WA, as always :rolleyes:

51°F (11°C) at 12:18 PM. We’ve had over an inch and a half of rain since last night, no snow thankfully.

Supposed to drop to 8°F (-13°C) tonight though. :wacko:

It has turned really cold in the UK now. It's only 8:30pm and already the temp has dropped down to -2.5C (27F) under clear skies. I'm praying some cloud cover roles in soon, otherwise I am going to be looking at my coldest night this winter. I can see it dropping right down to the low 20s, maybe 21-22F (-6C). Nearby London in comparison, probably won't drop below -1C (30F) tonight. Due to that urban heat island affect. Which I sadly do not benefit from.

January 20th 2019 first 8B temp of the winter local station reporting 18F. Will be staying up late monitoring the situation hoping to stay above 10...If any event is going to kill my unprotected palms it's this one.

6°F (-14°C) here, which is about our average annual low temperature. Yikes.

It’d be nice if this was it for the year, but we still have to trudge through February before we’re in the clear. On the bright side, it’s late January and our average temperatures have started to increase.

After an un-expected dip to 29F this morning ( no frost.. Forecast low was supposed to be 37F per local NWS ) Rialto Hills Wx station has been hovering between 74-76F over the last hour ( 3:50 PM MST) Other nearby stations hanging between 67-70F atm. A nice start to a warming trend after spending the earlier part of the week in the low-mid 60s with some cold breezes on Monday. Looks like low-mid 70's are forecast for at least the next 10 days.. Won't be surprised if highs next Friday / weekend get bumped up a few degrees as well. 

 Looks like tomorrow will be a great day for doing some exploring.. Since it's Friday, there might actually be some open parking spots at the trailhead i'm planning on visiting  since most will in the middle of their work day, :D. Come Sat./ Sundays this time of year, at many of the hiking spots in view of downtown Phoenix, forget finding parking.. or get to where you want to hike early..

59.4F at 10:15 a.m. Low this morning 56.1F. Predicted low for tonight: 46F.

So far this winter weather has been as predicted: cooler (but not wetter) than normal but not horrifically cold. I'd rather have days of 60s/40s than the occasional night in the low 30s.
