Well there we are then odds on for an airfrost here again. Is Wales on the whole frostier than England? Because we always seem to have frostier conditions or is this jst a misconception? Currently 5.9 here atm :whistling: temp is plummeting.

Under certain set ups, such as this northerly where the west is clear and the east cloudy, then yes, Wales is frostier.

On the whole though the Midlands and north of England are colder and frostier than Wales in Winter.

In land parts of west wales as well as devon and somerset can be frosty compared to much of the rest of england and wales when low cloud rolls in on an easterly or north easterly airstream. In the case of Wales the hills in mid Wales often break up the cloud - similiar to what happens here with the Pennines, though we are much more prone to cloud under a north easterly being closer to the N Sea.

SW England can also remain fairly clear under a north easterly and especially a northerly compared to much of northern and eastern england and wales.

However, your right in saying the midlands and north england on average is frostier than Wales as a whole, though mid and east Wales is often on a par with the midlands and cheshire, Peak District regions. Indeed the Welsh Marches can be very frosty under certain set ups particularly when a cold high is overhead and when there is snow on the ground.

No chance of frost here tonight. Currently 11C and I doubt it will drop much lower than that.

A bit of bumpage, for the people who still haven't had an air frost! Me included, my lowest since the June Solstice is 0.6C a couple days back, and it's likely I won't hit it tonight. But you never know, 4.1C at Durham currently.

The Lake District/Pennines area should get a frost tonight - 1.3C at Shap already, many other stations on wunderground.com have got less there aswell. It's 1.1 at Great Asby (OON) along with Great Dun Fell (at 847m) reporting -2C at 21:50 (no update since then). Cold night for us Northerners!

Yep. Along with Tulloch Bridge and Woodford under -4C, Eskdalemuir at -6C, and Sennybridge at -6.1C.

I got my first air frost since May 12th here, at -1.4C.

-6C and -6.1C must be close to the records for the date/month.

I think Tonyh on General Weather Chat pointed out that -8C has been reached in Cymru, and -11C in Alba, at Dalwhinnie. Not so sure on the date, but I think he posted a link.

Infact:

Ta-da!

Look at the bottom, it gives the record October lows.

Peter Gibbs just stated some parts of the country have seen their coldest october night for 15 years i.e. 1995. Can anyone confirm where exactly. Not sure how low Shap got to last night but I believe we saw -4 degrees, it was a very cold start reminiscent of many a morning during the last winter and made it feel like december had come early, shame we are going to see those dreaded south westerlies push the lovely dry cold air away.

Still it has been very good to see some frosty mornings this october, we had to wait until mid december last year for an equivalent cold night to last night.

Temps fell to -3.2C here out in the sticks last night. For down here you often have to wait until November before you get an airfrost, already had the 3rd this year and very close to freezing again tonight.

First major frost last night, positive it'd be an airfrost but didn't have my thermometer out and need to get a new one.

Dublin airport got to -3.3C yesterday. The lowest it reached between 61-90 in October was just -0.6C, so possibly a new record here? The lowest November temperature it recorded during the same period is just -3.4C!
