Very cold early Sun 5th Oct

Met Office site shows Sat, but the 6°C temp shown is actually early Sun morning.



6°C in the nearest town means about 4°C at my edge of village plot, possibly down to 3°C over polythene mulch.

 

Thanks for the headsup! I'll make sure I've got my extra blanket laid across the bed for a speedy pull up. Don't really have any plants to worry about at this point so I'll think of my feet instead

 

Fleece at the ready

 

Forecast now lowered by one degree to 5°C in the nearest town, so I'll be picking all my outdoor toms on Sat and also covering up my New Guinea Impatiens I intend taking overwintering cuttings from, and throwing some blankets over the runner beans I'm saving seeds from.

Anybody else getting a potential frost early Sun morning?

 

Not in these parts Scrungee,yet anyway...we're due for a low of 7 degrees early hours Sunday morning but so far the temperatures look OK for next week too..

 

A low of 10 forecast for tonight, so not an issue here yet.

 

Looks like i'm gonna need a bigger duvet or a GC member to snuggle up with

 

That's Ziggy gone then Armandii!

Why not be greedy and go for both Zigs?

 

Isle of Wight tonight:

Isle of Wight Weather forecast for Sunday 5th October 2014.
0% chance of thunderstorm activity, max UV index 3.
It will remain quite clear overnight, and it will be another cold one as temperatures drop to just 4c. There will be a light north westerly breeze, shifting to a northerly breeze later.

 

It's 2.3°C in my garden (and still dropping!).

The Met Office revised the forecasts downwards last night, there might have been a lot of plants lost this morning. I didn't see anybody else covering up their tender stuff. It's probably around 1°C at my edge of village plot right now. If they'd forecast those sort of temps yesterday I would have put a paraffin heater in my polytunnel full of tomatoes

 

12.7 c here.

 

8c here

 

I didn't leave a thermometer at the plot, but the heavy white frost over everything told me all I needed to know



There was even ice on top of black polythene



That's probably the end of the local blackberries, I'd only picked 416lbs and have been relying on them for our deserts every day.

 

5c here..Now that looks BRRRR!!! Scrungee
