Dear Diary,
The days of air frostair frost An air frost occurs when the temperature of the air falls below 0.0°C and ground frost were well down on their respective LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO. for all regions, thanks to the very mild weather. I would have like to have added a colour contoured map but the Met OfficeUKMO The Meteorological Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. It is an executive agency and trading fund of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy don’t seem to generate them anymore for frost. Still plenty of sites still to report their first frost, some of them inland as well. My SYNOPSYNOP SYNOP (surface synoptic observations) is a numerical code (called FM-12 by WMO) used for reporting weather observations made by manned and automated weather stations. SYNOP reports are typically mad hourly and consist of groups of numbers (and slashes where data is not available) describing general weather information, such as the temperature, barometric pressure and visibility at a weather station. records are never guaranteed to be 100% complete, so I may have missed the odd one because either the value or the whole observation at 06 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). was missing. I could now, at least for the UKUK The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a country in Europe, off the north-western coast of the continental mainland. It comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. that is, generate totals from the 21-09 UTC extremes now that they are finally being included.
