Here in suburban Auckland the air temp in my screen dropped to around 2C this morning. Some breeze kept it up to around 3.5C most of the night but on anything insulated from below, including part of the roof, theres a good coating of ice.. just a trace of frost on the grass though.
Beautiful crisp clear calm winter morning here

Light ground frost here in Tawa this morning.
All that moisture that's been lurking round over the last few days made the grass lightly crispy.
Temperature got down to +0.2 and the bird bath froze over.
The birds ordered up a pot of warm water so that they could have a spa to start their working week....

You'll probably have to ask the experts. The anti-smog measures haven't been around for long.Hey Tich, have any of Christchurch's anti-smog measures had any impact on the air quality
Interesting how some areas can get colder nights and heavier frosts than others, often within short didtances. Latitude is only 1 factor - a sheltered valley in inland Northland would getter colder nights/more frosts than an exposed headland in Southland.[/quote]

But if you let in the daytime readings as well and considered windchill, things would straighten up well. I notice that when you look at various lighthouse AWSs, for example, they may have a nominally higher mean temp than nearby sheltered locations on the land because of much higher night readings more than offsetting day readings - but once the windspeeds get looked at, things change.

I agree with that, but not the Northland bit.. anywhere south of the Bombay's, yes, most likely

You'd be amazed how much worthwhile astronomy you can do with a decent telescope and (CCD) camera from a city. As far as astronomy goes, Auckland's biggest problem is not the light pollution, it's the weather.
