Grass minimum (so far) -0.7°C. Only the 4th instance of ground frost
recorded in August at this site since 1994.
It certainly is a shock to the system out there!
Air frost tonight?

Hi, Alex,

It's certainly cooling down atm! No ground frost over this side - the
northerlies are too strong. Down to 0.6C on two nights earlier this
month. I noticed quite a few stations reporting ground frost on the
WeatherOnline site.

The interesting thing here in Copley is that the mean August grass min
is now below average and the screen temperatures are within 1C of
average. What a difference a week makes!

I think you could well have air frost tonight with the lighter wind in
the west. Shap reported 0C this morning.

ATB,
