    The announced numbers are based on the station that records the data which likely has a different microclimate.

    An example, the weather station I use is recorded at an international airport so the heat of the sun reflecting off the concrete causes the low to be higher than my place on the other side of a hill which gets the sun later in the day.

    Forecasts are generalisation of weather as predicting the future is not possible.

      That makes sense since my station is probably an international airport also.
