Nice photo. Anyone would think it was the middle of winter!

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

I see Metservice has a thunderstorm watch on for us this arvo and evening. Only low risk but the flow has clearly gone more south now, bringing some deeper convection ashore..

Yes, just heard a rumble of thunder to the NW of here

[Razor]

Well called then!

[Richard]

How does it compare to the storm in Singapore John.

Been in CHCH today,boy it was a wet day there but nothing back home but i see the showers moving due north this evening so maybe some will make it here soon.

Pouring of rain here now. radar looks like we could see some decent falls for a while also.

[snowstormwatcher]

Just come back from Christchurch heavy showers till just south of Ashburton. dry but overcast further south.

[CWUweather]

has not stopped raining in chch for the last 5 hours. bloody hell. heavy as well. looks like the system has stalled again

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

25mm from this southerly system. Perhaps a few light isolated showers to come today but should be ok for the Rugby but chilly. Will be interesting to see how the underfoot conditions are at the stadium.

A fine but cold morning here.
Milder next week with the tasman low, some deep instability is likely over the Northisland.

[jamie]

It's darn cold out there. Have -3 forecast. Could get -4 here I think since we are normally a bit colder.

I was surprised to hear my partners parents farm in taihape was snowed under today. They are only 300m apparently. So the snow was falling quite low.

Skies clearing so it should be a chilly but calm evening for the test at Addington.
I have just been playing alot of Horslips music, so that should give the Irish a good chance against the All Blax
Horslips being a rock band that changed alot of irish music into a rock format in the 1970/1980s

Nice one John. Well its probably going to be around 0 degrees at kick off and in the negatives come the conclusion. Sitting on 0.9 now. Good news though is it has been dry for a few hours now so hopefully conditions suit for an open game. Dependent on how the turf drains.

Update: Forget the negatives come the end of the game. We are in them now. -0.1

Very Irish saying there, leighton

[David]

Already down to 3.6°C here! If it stays clear all night, 0 deg is looking very possible...

[David]

2.7 deg now and the dew on the car roof has frozen...

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

-4 here at 3:45am. Could be going for -6 here by dawn at this rate. Grass white.

Some very cold temperatures currently at 4am:

Invercargill -5
Queenstown -5
Christchurch -4
Gore - 3
Timaru -3
Blenheim -3
Ashburton -2
Hamilton -2

[Orion]

Mayfield -3.0 now.

[Manukau heads obs]

oh, looks like you are heading for a record cold this morning David

have had a bit of wind here at times during the night but that has eassed away now so the temperature is dropping here now, 4.1C at 6:30am

[David]

No new record. Some puffs of wind at times overnight kept sending the temperature back up, so perhaps if it had been calm I would have got under zero

[NZstorm]

GFS accumulated rainfall chart here for the next 3 days.

Cold upper means a few rumbles thunder for a few places and Taranaki looks a likely spot later tomorrow into Tuesday.

Also a low risk of a waterspout/tornado for Taranaki and Bay of Plenty later tomorrow! The 700mb temps will be fairly chilly which is an indicator for spouts.

[Richard]

The thin high cloud certainly kept it cold all day,didn't get over 3deg here.

[Orion]

Yes, got to a maximum 3 deg. at 3pm. here.
Now down to 2.
Frost still white on the ground in any areas that got no direct sunlight through the day.
