Re: Frost Reports 2024
The growing season of 2023-24 here has been a right mongrel starting with a late spring frost that caught many local gardeners out, this end of the season plant killing frosts have arrived earlier than past 10+ years.
This mornings frost was -1.2deg

Re: Frost Reports 2024
A low of -2.9°C for Christchurch on your Saturday morning (27th August). I am guessing this is the airport site? This tweet from MetService states this was the third lowest April temperature at this site since 1954.

Re: Frost Reports 2024
Been a bit slack looking lately, thought it must have been a good frost, killed off the leaves on my kiwifruit vines which grow under a cabbage tree patchNev wrote: ↑Sun 28/04/2024 12:12Yes, Christchurch Aero's lowest ever April temp is -4.0°C in 1979, followed by -3.0°C in 1976 from records since 1954.Simon Culling wrote: ↑Sun 28/04/2024 08:58 A low of -2.9°C for Christchurch on your Saturday morning (27th August).
