Frost is rare in November (about 2 days on average), so the 7 °C rule — not frost — usually decides the date.
The date varies a lot from year to year: over the last 10 autumns the 7 °C rule triggered as early as 27 October and as late as 24 November. Check the live forecast each year rather than relying on a fixed date.
