Temperature Diff

Ok, new around here........why is there such a huge temperature buffer over the Irish sea? Snow in the uk, temps at 0, here we are languishing at 8c with no snow to that effect......quasi stationary frontal system? ....haven't a clue but would like the "learned folk" to explain. Many thanks

It's due to a warm front that lies over western England.

This was the situation at 2045 this evening.

Su thanks a lot for your reasoning and map attached. So I wouldn't be far wrong re a stationary warm front sitting over the Irish sea for the reason of such temperature variances?
