The derv might be just cold.

Is it exposed to the wind chill overnight

Do you run on VEG? When did you last change Fuel Filter?

Wind chill is only a factor where the object being chilled generates heat, otherwise it sits at ambient, non-wind chill temp.

In other words, -2C with a 10mph wind might feel like -6C to me due to the effects of wind chill on a hot body, but to a bucket of diesel, it just feels like -2C.

It's true you never stop learning, I had always wrongly thought the wind speed dropped the temp further.
