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.

Gusty strong nor Easter through here at present. Will it hang around to keep the frost at bay?

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.
