Low temperture reports, 1st Nov onwards...

Mothman

How low will we get?

Already a ground frost with me, with air temp of below 7C.
Air frost should be widespread tonight. Maybe even with me

I've brought in any vulnerable water fittings and picked the last of the squash and courgettes. Nasturtiums will look a mess in morning.

Yea chilly here now and flat calm

I cant wait (hope) for the frost tomorrow morning.

The first of the season. Nice and chill start to "winter".

Guys I have bought a thermometer in BQ for around a fiver how accurate would this be. Also what is the best location for it outside to get an accurate reading, its on the outside winow sill. Would the sill be exposed enough or should I have it say lying on the car roof.

Make sure it is out of direct sunshine by day and is sheltered roughly 4 foot off the ground.
Dont place close to house or anything else that will give off heat for accurate readings.

Is it a digital or dry bulb mercury thermometer?

Mothman

Been down to 1.5C with -4C grass temp this evening, but back up to above 4C with grass temp just below zero.
11.7C max

Dundalk Daily

Snowbie sorry it has a blue liquid inside it, it reads -1c at moment.

Just another point, car temp read outs how accurate are they, where in/on the car are they located.
