when you say first sub zero night do you mean first night with an air frost?

[Iceni]

!. First ground frost = 18th November

2. First snowfall = 28th December

3. First sub-zero night = 31st October

[Alex95]

Ground frost: 9th October

Snowfall: 25th November*

Air frost: 8th November

*Significant snow probably 7th January but I shouldn't really be starting a new category

[WhiteXmas]

when you say first sub zero night do you mean first night with an air frost?

Hi Mullender. No I mean the first night with the mercury dropping below 0C

Just to add I wonder when the first single figures night will arrive? None yet here anyway according to my weather station. Anyone recorded signle figures overnight recently?

My lowest night temp was the 29th when it dropped to 7.6c but i also had 5 other nights that recorded between 8-9c.

1. ground frost- 18th september

2. snowfall - november 20th

3. sub zero night - 30th september

They may seem early but looking at my altitude and checking meto mapped averages we have around 4 ground frosts in sept and 1 air frost so i think its a good estimate

Well in complete contrast, I would like to be anywhere else in the UK apart from where I am at the moment. Its rubbish here in Southport for any severe weather apart from wind. We are especially well known here for not having any snowfall in Winter.

As for the date guessing;

1. 29th September

2. 3rd December

3. 1st November

That's pretty low for August! All the cloud cover here recently has insured it has remained in double figures. Most night's have been 11.5-12c. 14.5c here currently so maybe a bit cooler tonight.

My Aunt lives in Inverness and by the sounds of it that is the best place to be for snow and very very low temperatures if you are outwith the town which is closer to sea level.

Yes we have a had a few clear nights which allowed it to fall away quite low here. current temp is 14.2c

[WhiteXmas]

Mullender, I hope you are not turning this into a who is colder contest You know what will happen!

I had a couple of nights under 10C, one of them dropped to 7.9 middle of last week, was a lovely morning, nice and cool totally clear. The only other comment is I'm not sure how accurate the thermometer is, seems to read high during the day, so may read low at night

[Bottesford]

Frost will be late November, snowfall probably mid to late December and sub zero night late December or into January (it's hard to get that cold here!).

[Nights King]

Although ours has not been great this year.

[Wynn D Woo]

1. ground frost- 29th october

2. snowfall - february 9th

im expecting fairly mild autumn overall, and early snow seems to be very much the exception rather than the rule in these parts.

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

First Snow -- On Scottish hills, 4th September

First Sub Zero night 28th September

We have down here in Cardiff in all 3 months of the summer

6c in June, 8c in July and 9c in August, thats offical weather station.

Where i live if you know Cardiff at all there is a hilly area in the North border of the county where land rises to 1007ft, the temperture here reached 7.1c the other night, constantly getting below 10c on clear night i do live in on a steep valley though which doesnt get much sun and it gets very cold here in winter and snow sticks around for days nd days. For me first ground frost around 28th september here i would say and below freezing 15th October, first snow end of november.

[WhiteXmas]

Talking of Cardiff, I wonder where that guy JayFromCardiff is? I'm sure it won't be long until he is on everyday asking everyone will it snow in Cardiff :lol:
