Anzac Day provided the chilliest morning of the year so far, with “dawn paraders” turning out in frosty temperatures.
MetService recordings at the airport put the air temperature down to 5 degrees yesterday morning.
However, for the first time this year, the grass minimum temperature plunged to zero.
The first zero or below-zero grass temperatures are often felt in April, with the previous three years all hitting below-zero in April — air temperatures dropping to around the 5-degree mark on those mornings. — RH
