Came across this today:

A tool to alert growers to the risk of frost. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

I just look at the weather forecast for the coming night...simples!

I was multitasking as usual- reading posts on here whilst half listening to the BBC news, then the weather came on without me really realizing until I heard the forecaster utter the dreaded word "frost".

So I had to rewind the Sky+ to watch it properly," cooler temperatures this weekend with night frosts returning".

Just a bit different from tonight, weather station in the garden saying 11.7 centigrade at 10.45 PM.

Looks interesting but, as someone has said, the weather forecast on tv does the job for me and BBC interactive weather maps if I miss the news.

I'm not always in when the weather is on the TV and so miss it, or forget to look it up. I was just looking for a shortcut

You sound like me - rather than the more organised lot that remember to watch the forecast - even for the once-in-a-blue-moon frost in June

I keep a very close watch on the frost as I have to set the greenhouse up before I leave for home each evening. Presently full of new geraniums.

Quite a heavy ground frost this morning at 5.30 - came as a surprise as I did not hear anything about on the news.

No serious damage I hope?

Not that I could see Learner - but it will not have been good for the courgettes and sweetcorn which had survived the gales of last week.

Must have been quite cold last night here as well.
A few plants on the lowest allotment, were nipped overnight

I'm glad my plots up the top of the slope

Very disheartening.... after all the work and effort to say nothing of the false start to "summer" when it was so warm.

Add to this no rain in many parts - it is a wonder anything is actually "growing".

Many of my plants are just sitting there waiting.  :blink:

BBC said to-day that there could be frost in some parts of Northern Ireland overnight - is it really going to be mid-summers day soon.
