Ground frost can damage plants and hamper construction work. The major contributing factors are the temperature during the night, cloudiness and wind.

General recommendations for action

  • Cover plants with a protective layer, or place pot plants that are particularly susceptible to frost damage against a house wall or indoors
  • Protect sensitive materials against frost damage in good time
