The heaviest frost recorded in Ashburton for 20 years was experienced on , June 9, when 17.3 degrees were registered. This was the most severe frost since the record of 19.5 degrees was established on July 18, 1898, and equalled on July 18, 1911. In 1898 the intensity of the cold killed bluegum and wattle trees in plantations in various parts of the Ashburton County, and took its toll of trees and shrubs in the town.
