How come you've avoided frost when most of southern England hasn't?

Similar figure here, with only a couple of slight ground frosts

So you've been stuck with the dry spell without even any frosts to
compensate? That would have driven me mad!

BTW, I've had 5.4mm in the past 5 days, and with minimal evaporation &
copious dew, the grass has started to perk up a little. Of course, the
frost has already dealt a death-blow to delicate plants.
