Yes that's right - I've been checking it against other forecasts as I'm really looking forward to standing watching football for two hours in the late afternoon! I think the thermals will have to come out.

not sure it's a typo. there have been other forecasts ( in the paper admittedly) saying it could fall to -15 by the weekend. So it's not unreasonable to think it'd be -11 in hertford. where's what weather guy who posts on here?

Sometimes the windchill factor can make the temperature feel a lot colder. ie: -1 but feeling like -7... I wonder if its just a ploy to make sure the gritters are out in force and Heathrow doesn't shut again??? [:D]

no, i wouldnt go near any of those papers - but it is on bbc news about the -15 - but weirdly it points to an article which has no mention of -15. odd. so perhaps indeed just "headlining"!! DQ makes a very good point - the discrepancies are probably down to windchill factor being taken into account or not! either way it'll be bloomin cold! brr!

Snow tomorrow afternoon according to the Met Office.

The BBC website was displaying yesterday that Hertford was going to be -2 overnight for Saturday, perhaps they mean -1 for Saturday but got trigger happy with 1 key!

Been amended to minus 7 for Friday and Saturday night

I can't see any snow on the Met Office forecast for tomorrow afternoon. There might be some at Stansted after 6 pm and none forecast for Luton at all.

Sorry not paying much attention to the Hertford weather at the moment because I'm enjoying the weather in a tropical climate.

I don't rely on weather from anywhere but my home, my late nan's ancient aneroid barometer.. never fails to predict everything, including hurricaines! I might loan it to the Met Office.... [:D]

Yellow alert for snow? shouldn't that be 'Alert for Yellow snow!'

Light snow expected locally from 6 pm. This afternoon, light "snow grains" are forecast.
