Re: Christmas Day weather
Only brief rain here earlier this morning, high cloudiness on the way out, current 20C dewpoint 16C, still the risk of a shower here this afternoon.

Re: Christmas Day weather
Well, Christmas weather today worked out well in the end. The rain held off till mid afternoon and we reached a high of 27. 20mm of rain has fallen since the rain began, mainly light stuff now. Great for the gardens!

Re: Christmas Day weather
A pleasant xmas day here, albeit with a relatively cool max of 20.9C (in contrast to Grey Lynn's 23.1C), 6mm from the mid morn weak front, the odd bit of drizzle during the day, but also some sunshine with light to moderate westerlies. In other words, a fairly typical xmas day...
