Re: Frosts reports 2020
Not a bad one here either on -4.1deg. 20+ years ago we would have much colder than Christchurch Airport.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Only down to -1C in the Botanic Gardens. Could the airport calibration be off?

Re: Frosts reports 2020
I would say not, many of the private weather stations in around CHCH were around -4 also, central city temps are effected by urban heat sink

Re: Frosts reports 2020
I understood the NIWA one in Riccarton was susceptible to urban heat, but had thought (until now anyway) that the Botanic Gardens location was to negate that.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Lighter frost than expected here overnight after yesterday's snow, only down to minus 0.6C.
However, should be a good one tonight.
