We are getting those too, occasional gusts up to 5km/h. Needs to calm down completely for a good frost...as with each air movement the temperature seems to bounce up a tiny bit. Down to 3.2° here a short while ago.Manukau heads observer wrote:puff of wind every now and then here, temperature only slowly dropping

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
MetService have Waiouru as the coldest place in NZ atm on -5°C (rounded), while the outer Hauraki Gulf is on a balmy 11°C, and both Cape Reinga and Farewell Spit on 10°C.
1.3°C here at 6am but it's gone up to 2.0°C now - weird.

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
Coldest morning here by far with a crunchy white frost. Down to -1.0°C this morning and has been 1° or lower for nearly 7 hours (hence a good frost).

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
Not quite as cold air temps here in Grey Lynn this morning just made it down to 2.5C.. some light puffs of wind all night have moved some of the warmer city air this way I think.. But the ground frost is slightly heavier and the standing gutter water at least as frozen

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
I see Weatherwatch has -2°C for Auckland. Presumably that was taken at Whenuapai.
MetService had Waiouru down to at least -6°C since my last post, but up again now.

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
I notice metservice are forecasting 2° again tonight. Temperature is plummeting here still 25 minutes to sunset and already 9.5° out there, will be interesting if it remains clear and calm all night...

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
Things happen in 3's so it will be the 3rd major frost in a row for this immediate area.. condensation on everything already, temps on par with last night, slight breeze about an hour ago which has now died off..
Another frozen start on the cards.

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
the cold nights mean the 24 hour average temperature is currently 5C colder than normal (since 2001) for this time of year (usually dont get frosty weather as cold as like this until july/august (june is normaly a windy unsettled month))

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
I think it might be fog... no wind that I can see.
Frosts already in sheltered parts of Auckland...possibly Northland too.

I see you have a bit of breeze at that time too..
not as cold here this morning as yesterday, as we have a puff from the NE every now and then too
I see Ricky is heading for one of his coldest mornings on record

Another frosty start but not as cold as yesterday morning, low here today is -0.3°C. Still, that's 3 frosts in a row and it's only early June!

Re: Frosty High, 1-5th June
Frosty start again down this neck of the woods though not as severe as yesterday but not very far from it!
Slight bit of wind from the south making things marginally cooler due wind chill.
