Don't know the centigrade temp but we went down to 20f over night and
were still at that temp at 8am here in the Swansea area.
I am worried about my tree dahlias as the frost in the week finally
finished the flowers so I still have to lift them, that's around 70
tubers to be lifted, just hope this frost hasn't got down to the
tubers.

Just down the road in Whittingon it was cold enough at 5.30 am for our outside Central heating boiler to come on to prevent the water in it freezing. We reckon that that happens at about -10c. It was -12c in Shawbury.
Lovely and sunny and crisp now!

Sorry to say I lost mine some years ago at a lot less (or should it be more)
than that in a protected S. facing garden.
Hope yours are OK.

The sun has just dipped behind trees about 5 mins ago, have been sitting
in the conservatory which the sun heated to 20 deg this afternoon but
the temp soon drops when the sun goes. The air temperature (in the
shade) hasn't been above -3 deg all day here & is now -4. Another hard
frost tonight I think.
Cheers

According to the tele, we had -17 deg C at Llysdinam, which is about 20
miles away over the Epynt and across the river Wye, and -14C at Tirabad
on the northern edge of the Epynt, about 10 miles away. Greenhouse door
still frozen, so could not see what my thermometer recorded!

700 ft up in Mid-Wales

CH boiler came on again in the night, so pretty cold once more. One of our cats did not come home last night so we got thoroughly chilled looking for him. He turned up this morning, dry and warm so he must have spent the night wrapped up in the fleece in the polytunnel, left it in there in a polystyrene fish box for just such an occurence. Daft begger, worrying us like that.
