Now Micheal, you would really hate it here in Christchurch today. :evil:
It has been a lovely sunny day with the odd puff of cumulus humulus cloud but...and a BIG BUT.
....the day has been ruined by horrid, strong, gusty and brrr... COLD SW gales.
I was at the Small Farms Field Day at the Addington Raceway today and boy was that wind cold whilstling through there :evil: :evil:
It would of been a lovely day otherwise :)

...and to make it worse it was only forecasted today to be of light winds according to MetService's weather for ChCh [-X

We should get another week or so of this current weather before the next trough/low pressure quickly deepens across the tasman with a return back to these conditions there after :evil:

Latest map tomorrow shows the high with a "kink" in it still off the NW of cape reianga so it will mean gale force winds tomorrow to especially if theres heating in the BOP :twisted:
However maybe better Monday ;)

South or southwest gales out on Banks Peninsula as well - real gales I'm sure (even though I couldn't measure their strength) - these winds have been gusty; dying down at times, but then coming back as strong as ever. No rain, but cloudy and cold, esp with windchill. However, winds are now easing, and skies have mostly cleared.
