Well Altnaharra has recorded frosts everyday inclusive from October to the May.
With June recording frosts on 21 out of 30 days.
With September recording frost on 20 out of 30 days.
And Altnaharra is at 80m so I am sure that maybe somewhere at 500m has recorded frost on every day.
Not necessarily if the frosts are from being in a frost hollow. What's the thershold for counting as "frost"? A low of 0°C or a bit warmer because ground frost is still possible? If it's 0°C, my town has gotten frost everyday from October to May, except for 3 days in May. 17 out of 30 days in September, but only 2 out of 30 days in June.

No in the UK a frost is -0c.
And the question is about an inhabited place. It doesn't matter if it is a frost hollow, it is still part of the UK landmass.
In the summer it needs to be near 0c to get a visible frost. (in my experience) I reach 2c in some summers and to be honest with you there is only really dew present.
This thread is about the closest inhabited place to the equator that has recorded frost every day, not the closest place to the equator at sea level that has recorded a frost every day.
oh I didn't realise. In which case it's got to be somewhere in South America.
Local topography matters too. If you have a large plateau at 500 m and a frost hollow within this area, then yes it will be colder than a frost hollow at sea level. But in many other cases, valleys tend to get colder at night, assuming the 'mountains' are no more than a few hundred meters in height.
The top of Kilimanjaro can freeze any month of the year.
