.... 25th April: the lowest minimum (apart from high-level stations)

I must have missed or forgotten that one.

AIUI, technically that's not counted as an air frost.

(According to this morning's Telegraph, Aonach managed 0.0C overnight
Sunday/Monday, so beat Aboyne by a large margin.)

.... correct: so that was the first time this year we did not have an
air frost (at a low-level station).
