Just checked the end of the garden, also in shade. 10° now, went down to 5° overnight.
I was going to say that the one that was showing 12° earlier is on the back of the house and in full shade all the time (but also, obviously, picks up some heat from the house). But I've just realised that since nextdoor-but-one removed the enormous bay tree (high as the house, about 5m across and less than 3m from the house) there is actually a sliver of light on the back of my house first thing. Gosh. Next door are planning an extension though, so I'd best make the most of it while it lasts 😉.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
