Frost Alert tonight - Tue 12th May

Well unless something cataclysmic happens here I can't see a frost here either, its nearly 11pm and it's still 12 degrees, that'll do for me

 

7am this morning and its 8.2 degrees, a lovely blue sky and no wind - I'm a happy bunny

 

We were down to 8*C this morning.

So much for the frost

 

Thanks @Spruce, I saw Derek on the weather too, brought my beans into the greenhouse, everything else is hardened off, but walking the dog at 7am wondered if we had had a frost.

 

Not sure what the temp was 6am but we had a slight frost, the sheets were a bit crispy, the temp at the mow 8.18am is 12c

 

No frost here...temp dropped to 8.9C. A benefit of living near the coast I think.

 

Went down to minus 1.2 deg C in the open at my outskirts of village rural plot early this morning.

It went down to 6.2 deg C in my 3 x 8m tunnel at ground level and 4.6 deg C at staging level in one of my 4.5 x 2m tunnels that had a paraffin heater in it. It only went down to 5.6 deg C in my garden.

The temps were at their lowest from 5:00 to 5:30, so anybody who looked at their garden thermometers after 6:00 would have seen readings a few degrees higher.

 

Last night's forecast for nearest town was originally 6° C, but at 4:30 this morning I noticed it had been revised to 5° C, and I got minus 1.2° C at my plot.

Tonight's forecast is 5° C early tomorrow morning, so there's going to be another very chilly morning here, especially if they revise it down again.

Might also be some cold nights next week. Tonight I'm moving my heater to the larger tunnel and checking how much that raises the temps in there.

 

it was very cold though Pam and not far off from frost , I wonder what to night will bring , I am just so glad the apple tree have set.

 

5C for us in the Vale of York tonight.
