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.
