Frosts 2022

I see MS are forecasting frosts for later this week in Canterbury.

yay. More the better

MS seems to have taken the word frost out of the urban forecasts for tonight, despite some cool overnight lows. If a trace of ice might be seen on the roof of cars left out overnight, is that a "frosty start"?

My station surprisingly got down to -0.1C briefly just after 7am, after still being at 8.8 at 11:30pm, must have been a slight breeze hold up for a few hours after dark then it died out.

Warmer than night before, low was +1.3, almost not frost to be seen. Bananas may stay undamaged until June again this year, at this rate. Depends what happens after this next westerly period.
