Obviously the Botanic Gardens (and indeed my own garden) are in England as the air frost was an England only event John?
The temperature is fluctuating a bit here and is currently 1.2°C with light winds currently.
Well, I had expected that to be an England only event due to the models having the actual centre of high being positioned to our south which I was therefore expecting to result in a milder westerly being fed in across most of Scotland.
Because of that, I wasn't expecting any air frost here and so, I'm not surprised that Edinburgh Gogarbank (which is the main station for which I report most of the statistics on this forum) has continued to remain frost-free with a temperature of 4.0°C as at 8am this morning.
Now that it has got that much lighter though, the frost has become much more visible (that is always difficult to spot from my usual indoors position when it is dark) and the temperature at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh was still just below freezing at -0.2°C as at 8am this morning.
There is however, quite a lot of cloud around and I still wouldn't be surprised if this is the only frost that we see with the official forecast being for tonight to be much cloudier here and a bit milder, and with the rest of the UK being under that milder air mass by the end of the coming week.
In the meantime though, I suppose that this may well make it an England only event from tonight onwards in the manner in which I have expected.
EDIT:
Air pressure is also very high and was up to 1041.6mb and still rising at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 8am this morning.
