[johnholmes 24,356]

A lovely sunny and calm start to the day, quite a contrast to yesterday; certainly a cold start with a low of 3.9C here so some places around here may have had a ground frost at dawn, the lowest in my garden since 17 May.

the reports from Wx Online show 58 stations have reported a ground frost and 9 with an air frost.

First ground frost of the autumn last night.

Crystal clear and sunny today. Quiet and warm. Butterflies out.

My old grandmother, born 1889, had a name for the odd superb day in the middle of unsettled spells. She called it a "weather breeder". ie- an indicator of bad weather to come very soon .....

I like that comment-the old ones are often the best

[Backtrack 2,810]

4.9C was the low overnight, which shows that the towns & cities (even though I am more rural) is still a few weeks away from achieving a frost.

A fine day here with warmth quite pronounced in areas out of the breeze, but a cool feel when in it - about 16C. Incoming change of weather very obvious at present with thickening alto stratus and bands of lower cloud appearing from the west/south-west. Calm before the storm, but a very pleasant one.
