This November I only had two 5 minute logs (10 minutes) of 0.0°C, is this
classed as an air frost or should it be -0.1°C?

My thinking is not, so no air frost reported for me for the whole month.

Yes Keith, temperature needs to be below zero to warrant a frost


I think the argument is that 0.0C is defined as the melting point of ice
rather than the freezing point of water.
