Temperature in Attic?

I put a remote temperature sensor in my attic and the temperature is showing as 4 degrees C while outside it is minus 4 degrees C and the inside upstairs temperature is 22 degrees C
The house is a 31 year old semi with 3 bedrooms.
There is 6 inches of insulation in the attic, should I add more?

My attic is so cold that the condensation droplets are frozen solid... I think that's a good thing maybe?1
