Re: Frost Reports 2024
No, these are June/July level temps.
Its looking like the rest of the month is going to be no warmer either. Will it end up being a record or near record low temp month?

Re: Frost Reports 2024
It’s the trend lately for these temps to be heading down, as a matter of interest what’s the lowest minimum and maximum temp you have recorded over the years Richard? Yep I reckon based on the next 10 day forecast it will end up being one of the top 5 coldest May’s at least on record at the Chch Airport site…

Re: Frost Reports 2024
Interesting how this mornings frost temps have fluctuated since reaching its lowest point at 2.20am of -3.8deg, then slowly climbing to -0.9 at 7.00am, Clearly warmer air aloft started passing over early morning as there is no wind at ground level.

Re: Frost Reports 2024
Saw my thermometer down to -0.9°C this morning;
some light cloud in the west obscured my view of today's 6:35am satellite train;
-0.3°C at the moment with light cloud, faint sun.
