Re: Frosts reports 2020
Just managed to dip below zero before the fog thickened up enough to start warming slightly.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Got through June frost free here , 0.4 on the 10th but it was a cool fog that morning, no ice. Great grass growth as a result. All about to change now though. Hopefully if wind stays up will only scrape 0 each morning.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Think it has happened before but the result of a very wet,unsettled month. Difference this time is the ground was not too wet. On Country life on RNZ it was reported that Waikato farms have significantly more pasture coverage than normal and soil temps still in double digits.Awhituobs wrote:no frost for june for Waikato must be very unusual

Re: Frosts reports 2020
Visually a heavy frost this morning, but air temp did not go below -2.3. Probably the heaviest ground frost since 2017.
