0.4°C here at 7:30am (3°C at Akld Aero).
Looks like July for Akld will be another cool month, although not by any significant amount.
Rain about normal, but again, no lack of sunshine.

Down to minus 2.6C in the screen, possibly minus 6C on the grass judging by the whiteness around the place.

Re: Report your Frost, or (how low did you go 2009)
I knew Metservice was exaggerating when they predicted -3°C here.
The Ham AWS is only on -1°C and My low was only -1.2°C.
Predicted Low here was only -1°C.
A whole back of alto stratus has moved on through, hindering the process of making a cold temp possible, Damb!
But I have to say, You can get quite sick of defrosting the car all time, LOL

No frost in central Chch this morning, though apparently the Airport recorded one.
Certainly alot warmer than this day 60 years ago (July 1939), when light snow fell in downtown Auckland. (according to note for 28th on my MetService calendar)

Its nice to look back and read some of the wild, wicked weather that has happened over the years.
One day of witch is my birthday the "19th" December where according to MS calendar there was a superstorm witch brought a destructive tornado that went through Amberly and large hail.
On topic: yes, yesterday morning it really was not cold for chch but i was working in Rangiora, and was much colder out that way then chch in the morning!!
