It is interesting that Winchester is predicted to be -5°C, as is Yarmouth, Isle of Wight ( which is by the sea ), but Bournemouth is predicted to be -1°C.

Very strange !

Should I trust BBC weather ?

You are a couple of hundred miles further south tho?
Plymouth is forecast +4 for instance..

I have the perfect answer to a frozen car in the mornings.. It's called getting back under the duvet Tough life this retirement lark.
Must have been cold last night because we had a frost here in Weymouth that's 2 we've had so far this winter..

Sorry, I meant Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, a few miles further along the coast.

It's nothing to do with me John, it's for my little dog who traces his lineage to the Vendée.

I long since gave up on BBC weather forecasts - if you believe the app it’s either constantly raining, sunny or cloudy. But it’s very rare that whatever they predict is in anyway correct.

Opened the door, turned the car once and she fired up Didn't bother opening the other doors as I hoped the heat generating in the car would defrost them for me( it did) By the time I had scraped the door windows the rear and front screens were already defrosting.

Within fifteen minutes she was all defrosted and ready to go.
Unfortunately my neighbour was still struggling to get his 3 year old BMW to start.

er.....

Or have a remote FBH and smugly have it auto activate every morning on a schedule and not have to lift a finger!
