BUREAU of Meteorology (BOM) data has confirmed the frost throughout eastern South Australia and western Victoria on November 8 is one of the latest on record. A BOM spokesperson said the reading of -0.1 at Hopetoun was the first time a below zero value had been recorded at that site since it was opened in 2004, while the -0.8 at Longerenong also appears to be the latest recorded frost at that weather station.
