Parts of Tasmania have just been hit by their first severe frost of the season with temperatures plummeting as low as minus five degrees, 10 below average. For some it was the most severe April frost in four years.

 

The thickest frost overnight and early this morning was in eastern, central and northern parts, where many centres recorded their lowest temperature since last September. Fingal, Ross and Cressy all had their coldest night since last winter with a minimum temperature of -4.6 and minus four degrees respectively, 10 degrees below the April average. This was also the coldest April night in four years for Fingal and Cressy.
