More cloud around here than last night, and 0.3°C up on the temperature this time yesterday, creeping down slowly. May not get as low as the 4.9°C last night.

Yet another summer mist/fog is forecast for tonight here, I can't believe how much mist and fog we've had here in the last year:

TAF AMD EGPF 301858Z 3018/3118 25004KT 9999 FEW045 PROB40 TEMPO

3103/3107 1500 MIFG =

I've never seen the MIFG code before tonight...cool!!! All it means is shallow mist or fog (I think), but anything new is good :(:)

Min this morning was 3.0C, with a touch of frost on a flat roof opposite. Went outside at about 4am when I woke and saw it was pretty chilly to put a temp sensor on the lawn, just a cheapish one and not very reliable but just to see what it showed. Oddly it read about half a degree above the air temp when on the grass, but down to 1.7c on the wooden table about 1 metre above the lawn, the other way round than I'd thought. I'm guessing the ground may have been still holding some warmth from summer seeing as its so early? or maybe a rubbish thermometer? If I'm making any sense there!

Currently 7.2C here (7.1C just now). I expect the min may be just a touch higher here tonight.

Currently 10.1c here, exactly the same as this time last night (which was a record low August night). Fingers crossed for even lower tonight!

Clear skies are allowing temps to drop markedly. More importantly winds have become very light compared to last night.

Good chance we will see a slight ground frost.

Peter Gibbs said the coldest place last night was Woodford at 1 degrees. Quite surprised at Woodford being the coldest spot, must be a notable frost hollow. I seem to recall it was one of the coldest spots in early Jan when it got down to -18 degrees in contrast to averages of -10 - 12 not far away.

Expected mins of 5 degrees in Manchester city centre tonight and tomorrow night for August is jolly cold.

Yeah Woodford does record low temperatures but as for early Jan, a few places around Cheshire fell to around -15 to -18 unoficially on that one evening; it was perishingly cold and you had to be here to appreciate it. I heard some unofficial reports of -15 around the Nantwich area and I can well believe it.

As for tonight, I wonder if anywhere will manage the air frost.

Currently 4.9c and chilly ballykelly was 7.1c 40 minutes ago I'd imagine it's lower now we might just scrape an air frost here with luck hopefully ballykelly gets low too so it can be official, but knowing my luck it'll rise in ballykelly... Mm would really love to wake to an air frost with lovely White fields or even any frost mmm but it's that long.

Redesdale Camp was down to 0.6c at 0700. Good chance it fell below freezing overnight at some point.

Shame the station isn't located in the valley bottom but on a small ridge above it.

First ice on the car roof this morning. A classic misty early autumnal morning.

4.3c (39.7f) when I woke up at 7am this morning, forgot to look at graphs as I left for work; but with slight frost on some upper ground around a mile away from my home, I'd say it got down to 2c!

A cold and clear night for August here, low 4.1c, with 1.6c on the grass, the coldest locally since 2003 (3.5c) at this station.

However it was even colder in Rosliston, just 2 miles away, though unofficial at the moment, his minimum reading was 2.9c from his AWS, he will confirm his official reading later, but almost certainly a ground frost there. If confirmed this will make it the coldest August night (locally) since records began in 1990.

Was expecting like 1.3c but only got 2.7c because the temp stayed at that for a couple of hours last night which was obvious when looking at ballykelly which got down to only 4.9c which is awful considering we were at 5c at 1am! Typical! Back to hell hole city tomorrow NOOOO
