Return of the subzero nights here too, with a -1.3°C minimum.
Follows three above zero but still very chilly nights, only kept frost-free by a keen breeze.
14 subzero nights so far this month, of which an April record 9 in a row occurred 12th-20th. Prior record was 7!
Mean minimum for 1st-27th is a mere 0.49°C. The 1943-2020 lowest record is 2.03°C set 1986, so we're running a staggering 1.54°C below it!
Tonight looks much less cold with a 5-6°C minimum, but tomorrow night could hit freezing again, with the last night of the month similar.
Latest projected final mean minimum is 0.64°C, which would break the old record by a margin of 1.39°C.
