I'm not trying to be funny here at all. I'm next door to Yorkshire and

I am in Yorkshire. Frosts in early June are not unheard of and they
certainly have occurred more recently than the last 25 years, particularly
in the higher regions.

Certainly within the last 10

Manchester is nearer the equator than Bradford:-)

And also further West. In winter, the W of the country tends to be

IIRC, Kay's latest-frost date is June 6th (in Leeds) same as mine
when I lived on mainland Scotland. We're by no means unusual in this
news group, according to other posters there are plenty of equally
late-frost-prone spots in all the northern counties including
Lancashire, (and some much further south), shown on

I have never had frost in Manchester in June. And the last two days
I've asked everybody I know and nobody has. I thought I was mad!! And
interestingly according to crocus map, if you know your cities you'll
see that Manchester is not in the late May/early June frost area, but
Leeds, Lancaster and Bradford are )

Of course, some unobservant people are too dim to notice they've been
frozen out.

And what does this mean?
