| Maps of when the first frost and freezing temperatures usually occur in Autumn. |

Clear skies and light winds allow for ideal radiational cooling at night.
Frost becomes possible when the observed temperatures (taken at 2m (6ft) off the ground)
drop into the Mid 30s (36°F).
A thresholds map of the average date of the end of the growing season
is shown below. This map serves as a basis for issuing frost/freeze products
and can also be accessed via our Thresholds Page on our website (see left column). In addition, high resolution
images below the threshold map depict seasonal climatology of average
