Dear Diary,
Temperatures are only just going to manage to get up above freezing for a short while across the Highlands this afternoon. The air temperature at Aviemore was -1.2°C at 1100 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)., and here in StrathpefferStrathpeffer Strathpeffer (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Pheofhair) is a village and spa town in Easter Ross, Highland, Scotland, with a population of 1,469. it’s just 2.2°C at 1215 UTC.

With a maximum of 2°C so far today I would make an educated guess that we’ll see a widespread moderate frost across the Highlands overnight and not at all patchy.
