Min of -0.5C in Howick, the second lowest in my records. Was heading down towards -1 but some unexpected wind pushed it back up

Most of Auckland got a frost this morning. You had to be right on the beach or in CBD to escape a freeze.

I'm very surprised that the Plains have had lower temps than this inland valley this morning.

No frost here today not even close, only dropped to +3.8. Amazingly Chch Aero 6 degree colder, just 10km from here as the crow flies. There's the impact of the breeze off the sea.

My Silverdale Spy reports another frost there this morning. No frost that I could discern near the beach at Orewa.
