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 3.2Â° here a short while ago.

Matangi may get a -5Â°C tonight if the temp keeps falling

MetService have Waiouru as the coldest place in NZ atm on -5Â°C (rounded), while the outer Hauraki Gulf is on a balmy 11Â°C, and both Cape Reinga and Farewell Spit on 10Â°C.

1.3Â°C here at 6am but it's gone up to 2.0Â°C now - weird.

Manukau heads obs · Thu 04/06/2009 07:02

just got colder, here , now 2.6, colder than yesterday morning now...even with the odd puff from the SE
can see some alto cu way to the NE...

Coldest morning here by far with a crunchy white frost. Down to -1.0Â°C this morning and has been 1Â° or lower for nearly 7 hours (hence a good frost).

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

Carbon copy down here of yesterday morning.. Icey white paddocks, car, rooves.. cornflake crunchy grass.
Brrrrrrr..

No grass frost here on my side of Grey Lynn but a bit of ice on car roofs.

got to -4.4Â°C (6:52 AM) so i wasnt too far off... just need to work on my timing

I see Weatherwatch has -2Â°C for Auckland. Presumably that was taken at Whenuapai.
MetService had Waiouru down to at least -6Â°C since my last post, but up again now.

CHCH Weather Chaser · Thu 04/06/2009 08:56

-2.8 This morning. Still -1.5 now with clear blue skies. 3 frosts in a row with -2, -2.9 and -2.8.

2 readings - Whenuapai and Waitakere.

-1.5 at my house too.

-3.7Â°C at Matangi quite a significant frost.
Arthurs site in Tokoroa got -4.7Â°C

David · Unread post by **David** » Thu 04/06/2009 16:48

I notice metservice are forecasting 2Â° again tonight. Temperature is plummeting here still 25 minutes to sunset and already 9.5Â° out there, will be interesting if it remains clear and calm all night...

Dale · Unread post by **Dale** » Thu 04/06/2009 17:49

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.

Manukau heads obs · Thu 04/06/2009 18:53

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))

time to get out my warm socks!

David · Unread post by **David** » Thu 04/06/2009 20:59

Why isn't the temperature dropping that much in the Waikato tonight? Apparently only 0.2Â°C colder at Horshamdowns than it is here

Philip Duncan · Unread post by **Philip Duncan** » Thu 04/06/2009 21:32

I think it might be fog... no wind that I can see.

Frosts already in sheltered parts of Auckland...possibly Northland too.

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Thu 04/06/2009 23:15

hmmm.... My temp went up and down again....

Manukau heads obs · Fri 05/06/2009 06:56

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

David · Unread post by **David** » Fri 05/06/2009 07:30

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

Dale · Unread post by **Dale** » Fri 05/06/2009 07:38

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.
