I'm 156 km (97 miles) from the English Channel as the crow flies. Though NW flows are less common than W or SW flows. In this case, I'm 379 km (235 miles) from the Atlantic. Also, 111 m (364') asl.
SW is also the most common air flow here, although it usually has a warming rather than cooling effect. It's also the direction of the downslope breeze that is common on colder winter mornings, so that might skew things a bit.
110 metres is a good height to be above the sea. This area had a 15 m/45ft tsunami in the 15th century.... not that I worry about it much.
I'll veer the discussion towards heat rather than frost. Check out the temperature contrasts in Texas and Oklahoma today. Lubbock is 98F and Oklahoma City is 71F, which is a big temperature difference for 280 miles worth of distance on flat land, especially considering that there are no major frontal systems in the area. Nor is there any rain-induced cooling going on, but there is an area of cloud cover over the 70-75F area which probably has something to do with it. There's a contrast within Texas, too, with temperatures ranging from near 80F on the Arkansas border to 103F in San Angelo:
Below are the current dew points; this contrast between a humid east and dry west is actually typical for summertime in Texas, but the difference seems greater than what it usually is. In any case, we have a situation today where East Texas is hot and humid and West Texas is hot and dry:
I don't know, this isn't america so we don't really keep those stats. But usually our lowest temperature each june is about 2 or 3c. But sometimes it reaches 0c. In the summer my lows are usually about 3 or 4c lower than the weather station.
So here is the data for June for the last 10 years at Castlederg.
There appears to be a frost in every one of those years in May. A bit surprised as I didn't realise frosts were that common here in May except 2004 when the low was 0.6c.
Those do look like chillly lows and yea, many of them do have days that get close to freezing. But why would your weather station be 3-4°C colder than Castlederg? Castlederg appears to be a bit of a frost hollow, holding the record low for Northern Ireland.
And yuck to your Junes, that looks like miserably chilly summer weather.

Intersting stuff there. Is that -13°F dew point for real? Is it something of an altitude effect? Can't remember what altitude does to dew point. Dew point 35°F here.

I hope we don't see any temps over 100f anywhere near me this summer. Yuk.
