Re: Frosts reports 2020
Down to -0.6˚C this morning (It's rising already), a nice crunchy frost and all the local car windows are covered too.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
First air frost of year at Hamilton aero, yet I have not gone below 4C overnight. SE wind corridor. Sometimes in a SW, the opposite occurs.
EDIT: Actually low 2.9 at 4:40am but was up over 4C by 7am when first looked.

Down to -0.9˚C this morning, now up to 1˚C thanks to the wind. Still crunchy on the ground.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Wednesday was a chilly morning in the south. NIWA tweet gives a low of -6.6°C at Middlemarch and -6.3°C at Balclutha. A MetService tweet gives a figure of -5.5°C at Dunedin Airport. Was the air particularly dry?

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Hamilton Aero's -3.3C this morning will be coldest since 2017, if not 2016. I only saw -1.3, and -1.2 the morning before. Even fully exposed pepper plants in the garden have not been killed yet.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
I see MS's Dunedin Aero and Tara Hills (Omarama) sites were down to around -7C and -8C respectively this morn, while NIWA's Middlemarch site managed -10.0C.
Middlemarch also recorded -8.2C yesterday morn, which is likely to be the coldest temp reported in this May's climate summary. However, I did see the MS/NZTA South Waiouru and East Rangitaiki sites in the central N.I. down to at least -10.0C and -9.3C respectively on May 23rd.
