The growing season of 2023-24 here has been a right mongrel starting with a late spring frost that caught many local gardeners out, this end of the season plant killing frosts have arrived earlier than past 10+ years.
This mornings frost was -1.2deg

A low of -2.9°C for Christchurch on your Saturday morning (26th August). I am guessing this is the airport site? This tweet from MetService states this was the third lowest April temperature at this site since 1954.
