GFS was showing widespread temperatures of -4C in June recently.. GFS has been losing the plot.

Welcome to summer, British Style.
Well it's interesting at least.

There was a frost here in January, although that day reached 26C.

Man, that's amazing for early summer - it'd never happen here unless we're deep into a full-blown Ice Age...lol.

Question - what's the difference between an "air frost" and a "ground frost" over in the UK? Here, we just say "frost" for any ice crystals that form on the ground or on objects, and "freezing" for actual air temps at 0 C or lower.

Ground frost when ice/rime/frost forms on frozen surfaces, air temperature doesn't have to be below freezing.

Air frost when the air temperature goes below 0/32.

Thanks, that makes sense now.

Still hard to believe that it can get so cold in summer where you are...

If I'm not mistaken it's a rare occurrence.

It's only forecast to get down to 60f here with a low of around 40f, admittedly that's cold for June but much warmer than 46f!! Where do you live Weatherfan?? I'm guessing on a mountain perhaps!

Well, I sure wish that "rare occurrence" would take place down here....lol.

We just get what's not rare for summer - heat, heat, and more g-damned heat.

Still in Buxton, Derbyshire at 1100ft above sea level. The models are probably underestimating temperatures as usual so I doubt the air frost comes off.

There has been 1-2C lows in Portland, Victoria in January 2009. At sea level and on the coast. Plenty more lows under 5C across parts of the state.

Ridiculous, but hardly impossible.

just another bleeding energy and willpower-sapping overcast morning, cant be screwed doing anything except sleeping
