Frosts In The West Country?


Recommended Posts

I wondered if there are any parts of the U.K. that are free from sub zero temperatures?

I hear the West Country had the highest average temperatures.

It so it must make a lot of difference as to when you can plant seeds etc.

I live up near padstow and it was a good frost this morning but its only the second time ive had to scrape the windscreen this year. I had an allotment in yorkshire and was always wary of planting anything much before april just in case of frost or even snow. In my allotment down here i can plant stuff a minimum of a month earlier. I am going to experiment putting some stuff in really early this year and see what happens.

Good hard frost here in Exeter this morning, only 2nd proper frost this winter I think?

Freezing again tonight, but its been wet and warm since September really.

 

Same here in Kernow, and only 2nd one of the winter as well, I'm 70 miles south of Newkid.

Car was iced up at midnight Tuesday.

 

Cheers, D.

Not many frosts here in the extreme SW of Wales on the coast We got the Gulf Stream moderating any cold weather here, hence we get the earliest crop of new spuds anywhere on the mainland. If you start moving away from the coast you'll inevitably start getting more colder weather and harder frosts.

Had a ship inspector based in London in the car night before last, he kept remarking how much warmer it was here than up in London every time he got out of the car.

I am in sunderland at the minute,just got here,it actually seems warmer than surrey early this morning,probably isn't but it seems a degree or two warmer?
