Some notable Sep minima for the South Island yesterday with Ranfurly on -7.0°C, Middlemarch -7.1°C and Hanmer Forest -7.2°C.

And cool temps for the lower North Island at 6am this morn with -6°C for Waiouru and -2°C for Taupo, Hawera, Palmerston North, Levin and Masterton.

4.0°C here at 6:30am (even with a slight SSE breeze).

-3.1 air temp at 6:21am this morning, blue dome day here.

I am hoping we don't get the northeasterly today, as it is cold when blows from there and it spoils a nice sunny day.

You dont get that in Alexandra do you Andy? currently the typical land breeze for morning here Westerly.
NE will kick in later though unfortunatly, remember the NE wind can be good at times during spring/summer months especailly when a cold Southerly is coming up THUNDERSTORMS .
But yes a return of the frosts feels like we are repeating July again, after the warmer than normal August.

Yeah exact same low here so slightly higher for me than yesterday, cars/deck/roofs had some frost but it was hard to find even a trace of ice on the lawn.

-3.9 at my parents place.. thats a very cold.

-2.2°C the low here, my neighbors bird bath is still completely frozen.

Min overnight temperature was 4.0 C out - currently though it's 19.8 C out

I see Whenuapai Aero managed -0.4°C this morn, while Akld Aero only got to 2.6°C. Kumeu to the NW however managed -1.5°C, contrasting with a relatively warm 6.8°C at Whangaparaoa and Khyber Pass.

Around 16°C here atm - not a cloud in sight - might get to 17°C today?

4.6°C here at 6:05 this morn (4.0°C yesterday) with light fog, clearing now.
Akld Aero only down to 6°C (must be foggier there?), while 2°C at Whenuapai Aero.

Third consecutive morn with fog at Chch Aero?

There was a little cloud here at 630am but its gone west and looks like haze to the southwest and blue dome.

It is most interesting to note we have had frosts here pretty much every morning this week, and on each occasion the metservice has predicted lows of around 5 degrees.

How come they are so cosnsistently out of kilter at the moment?

It was interesting this morning actually because we got down to -1 yet we didnt have a spec of blue sky!

Still getting a few cool temps around the country. Going by MetService obs at 6am this morn it was...

-2°C at Timaru Aero, Tara Hills (Omarama), Manapouri, Blenheim Aero and Taupo.
-1°C at Dunedin Aero, Queenstown Aero and Oamaru Aero.
0°C at Lumsden, Waiouru and Hawera.
1°C at Invercargill Aero, Lower Hutt, Paraparaumu Aero and Masterton.

Didnt think its still that cold down there but the high must be in charge there,mild 11 here overnight.

7.5°C here at 6:10am (similar to most morns this week). Ricky (Grey Lynn) had 8.4°C and Ak Aero 9°C.

Down to 2.4C here in West Melton under clear skies.
Mind you a NE was, as Bob Dylan would say, "A blowing in the wind"
