Christchurch's coldest November temperature in more than 60 years

[Mark]

you thought it was particularly cold and frosty in Canterbury first thing this morning, you were right.

Christchurch has had its coldest November temperature in more than 60 years, with a minimum of -2.8 degrees Celsius recorded at the airport.

Minimums around the city hovered between 0°C and -1°C.

MetService forecaster Georgina Griffiths said it might have been the coldest on record but it wasn't the latest frost in the city.

The record holder is November 28, 2005, although that was "marginal", with a minimum of -0.1°C at the airport.

A sunny day is on the way for Christchurch with a coolish high of about 15°C and a chilly easterly breeze developing this afternoon

The world must have gotten turned around, so far we are enjoying the warmest November on record 24.1°C here..  But no doubt, in a few days we'll be sub zero and you'll enjoy the tropical breezes

For comparison, in our right-side-up world here we do get the occasional frost in May (our comparable spring month) with my station's lowest of -2.7°C and highest at 32.4°C since my recording started in 2008.
 
Keep warm,
