Brrr did you notice the chill last night? We had a widespread frost with all four countries of the UK dropping below zero Celsius and temperatures got as low as -2.7 Celsius in Topcliffe It is the earliest in September we have seen frost in the south of Wales since 2019 ❄️

It’s certainly a cold airmass over the UK today. Temperatures everywhere way below what we’d expect in mid September. Over 8°C below normal in Pershore. Via @RoostWeather

Another example of how cold the current airmass is for the time of year. Yesterday was the coldest day in the first half of September for 26 years.
