We had 2 deg at 7am in Whangarei, stunning morning which has carried over into the afternoon, a very good crunchy frost on the ground. Great weather though.

What’s the coldest Auckland/Hamilton has ever got to? -4 must be close to a record for up there.

To my knowledge, I think Hamilton had around -9 back in the 1970’s. Can someone confirm this?

We had a ‘very thick’ frost this morning up in the Bay of Islands. All gone now and it’s a stunning day.
