I watched the daily news report from Germany via Roku streaming, and they reported temps on April 6 above 27C/80F in many locations. That was record warmth for the first week in April, and daily high temperature records were smashed in a big area of the country.
At least everywhere stayed around to above the usual April minimums. I would think tonight should be slightly colder, but it looks like still around or above the usual April minimums.
That's what you get with the elevation gradient west of Raleigh. It's exactly the reason why I'm perfectly willing to put up with April last frosts in special spot Asheville (my favorite Appalachian Mountain place to monitor).
But Raleigh is certainly lucky. Considering their usual April minimum is literally just 0.1C away from being frost.....I like the 3C forecast.
Frost hollow Statesboro ended up at 39 F again this morning, so that'll probably end up being the monthly low for April.
KSAV down to 44 F, 2 F warmer than yesterday morning.
KCHS down to 43 F, 1 F warmer than yesterday morning.
KDNL down to 45 F, 3 F warmer than yesterday morning.
Special spot KRDH actually overperformed a bit and got down to 36 F. Still freezeless since Feb.
Special spot KAVL had a light freeze. Down to 31 F.

Ah yes, no nasty surprises even for overperforming Raleigh and frost hollow Statesboro. I particularly appreciate how Raleigh got past this even with the overperforming, maintaining such an unprecedently good performance is an excellent contrast to the March 20 ripoff from the likewise unprecendently good December 26 last frosts that Lafayette Airport got last year.
April 7 for Asheville, if it is the last frost, would be within pretty good territory for me. As their average last frost is April 18 I like for theirs to be within the single-digit days for a realistic yet reasonable performance.
In Tromso Norway, April began with a cold snap. After six days with no days above freezing, the last time this happened was in April 1990, when a daily cold record was broken on the second - (POR 1867).
Station in Palandöken Mountain of Erzurum (elevation: 3148 meters) had the coldest in Turkey today with -4.7°C
It is the highest elevated official weather station in Turkey.
Lows in Ardahan Province today:
Göle had a low of +1.8°C today while Ardahan had a low of +4.2°C.
365 days of the year, Göle has colder lows than Ardahan.
