Last month, the number of air frosts here in Edinburgh was well below average once again and during this month so far, we haven't even had as much as a ground frost, let alone an actual air frost.
I know that we're almost halfway through the spring and into British Summer Time but even with that, I still think that it's a bit early to be getting no frosts at all in any given month.
After all, we would normally expect to be getting just under 3 air frosts on average during April here in Edinburgh and just under one air frost on average even during May.
It is then only during the summer months that we would expect to get no air frosts at all on average and even then, we can still be prone to the odd ground frost on a clear night, especially during June.
