Interesting about 12-13 May 1995. I don't personally remember any serious
frosts at that time but I will check my records when I get them unpacked. It
does encourage me that the summer of 1995 turned out to be the hottest I
have recorded; hopefully history could repeat itself.......we'll see!


Not too far away from you Nick, e just had a slight grass frost last
night.

Just for the record, here are the coldest nights during May in Coventry
since 1892:

..-5.0C 1938
-3.5C 1979
-3.2C 1941
-3.0C 1935
-2.8C 1942

Felly sgrifennodd Nick G :
Chilly night here in Worcester, one of the coldest May nights on record
(since 1989) with 1.2C at 05:53 am.

Beat you. -0.7 (yes that's a minus), at 4:47 am. That's very surprising for
us, as we tend to miss a lot of frosts. The cold air rolls down into the
valley below. I notice that the Trawsgoed weather station data, which is
down the valley 5 miles or so, bears this out:
