Still cloudy here so only 0 degrees here but it's enough to make the wet roads icy.

First frost in three weeks over night sometime with the gauge showing a low of -1deg, though the frost had gone by morning because of a fog layer.

Ground frost here but I still haven't recorded an air frost this month (last one was 27th July). It looked likely with 0.6°C at 6am but temps climbed after that because of a very light breeze.
