General June Weather

[snowstormwatcher]

I see Queenstown only had a high of 5 degrees today. Max of 7.5 degrees here after a frost this morning followed by high cloud.

[jrj]

Have MetService given up on forecast weather maps, or is it just me?

[Captain Salty]

tomorrow for chch they are forecasting "high cloud but dry" as if high cloud normally brings rain. and also "northeasterlies freshening" which probably means plenty of low cloud too

[Manukau heads obs]

the front is reasonably lightning active this evening...

[Richard]

A clear mild morning here with a very light N so far,rain they say later

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Few spots of rain in last hour or two. Looks to be some more steady heavier rain west of CHCH around Darfield.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Some heavy rain/shower activity inland of Amberley currently. Still no measureable amount of rain here today. Looks like some areas around Canterbury may have had over 10mm today from localised falls.

[Storm Struck]

Just gone from a light to moderate rain here now, radar shows its coming across from the NW but the wind is southerly at ground level.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Sunny day here now in CHCH with plenty of blue sky about now. 11 degrees currently. Only 7 in Ashburton with drizzle according to MS

[Orion]

It was indeed cold and drizzly in Ashburton all day; and apparently ditto here in Mayfield.

[tich]

Clouded over in Chch within the last few hours after a sunny day.

[Richard]

Never saw the sun at all today,but no drizzle though

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Well looking long range it would seem a southerly outbreak mid next week but very brief and not much precipitation. Looks like a big high moving in mid next week pushing it off east quickly and keeping a subtropical low around Australia's east coast. Wonder when we will get a decent southerly rain maker in Canterbury. The weather has been a non eevent here since before our first earthquake in September

This is true but I would like to see some sort of action in our weather here. (Not a skier either by the way) I am not missing the frosts at all, would like to see some beefy winter showers at times though, something just a little different

[Razor]

For the sake of the folk in ChCh with damaged homes and no heating I hope the mild dry weather continues until 2012

[snowstormwatcher]

Currently 1 degree here with fog, Looks to be clearing though.

[Michael]

Dont mind the la nina pattern even means more rain...less of the you know what,depressions in the tasman are ok not east of us.

[Orion]

Sunny, clear, 4.0 deg. now. Nice change!

[David]

Definitely feels cooler here today. Sun was out earlier but cloud is thickening up already, temperature currently steady on 13C.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

13 degrees currently. Overnight low of 7 here last night.

[Andy]

Max today of 5 degrees, low cloud/fog prevented any sunshine.

[jamie]

pea soup all day then lifted to a haze about 2pm... cold air trapped below high cloud now!

[Tornado Tim]

Yea it didnt clear for a bit today.....

Was on 99% to 100% RH for over 5 hours.....

Still avidly waiting for a good cold frontal storm to come and not die b4 it comes on land.

[bmo]

Started to rain here, falling down steadily.
