The likelihood of Frost

17/12/2018Posted on

The likelihood of Frost:

  • The effect of frost on plants is ordinarily more in winters.

  • When the temperature drops down to zero degrees or beneath and the cool breeze doesn’t blow, the evenings have high odds of seeing icing or frosting.

  • However, it tends to be evaluated if frosting will happen or not by means of the environment and the behaviour of the breezes blowing.

  • Frosting happens when there are cool breezes blowing toward the evening and the temperature dips under the amassing point.

  • If suddenly the breeze stops blowing and after that the sky is clear or if even around evening time there is no indication of winds, there are high odds of frosting.

  • Normally, if the temperature goes down and the breezes blow there is no harm yet on the off chance that they all of a sudden stop and the sky is clear, icing or frosting will undoubtedly occur and it is harmful to the crops.
