I don't believe the West Coast is getting this weather. It's not as mild here as yesterday (but still pleasant), due to the fact we must be in a colder westerly flow. I see the alpine passes have been affected by snow, and as the obs for noon show only 6-8C temperatures for the coast, (and they were even lower earlier in the day) I'd say the snow levels could be quite low over there.

Yes, Ben, another fine sunny day here in Christchurch with a pleasant gentle westerly blowing. I got up to a pleasant 16C. Also managed to mow the lawns. It's interesting that this weather system is not delivering here, must be the sheltering effect of the SI.
I thought it may of had good potential for Winter Cb's here, plus an odd rodent thrown in eg, a tornado on the West coast maybe!
Another fine day tomorrow.

Correct prediction John - it's another sunny, mild day here, and probably cold and showery again on the West Coast and in the far south. But this does look like a critical west to southwest flow, so any swing to the southwest could easily change things, though probably without much more than a few showers here. MetService does mention the possiblility of a few showers clipping Banks Peninsula.Another fine day tomorrow.

Yes, another fine day here in ChCh. Some interesting looking cirrus and Cs forms indicating very cold air up there. Slightly milder than yesterday, I got up to 16.5C. Another day spent in the garden when judging by the origional forecasts for the WE, I thought I would be huddled around the fire inside all WE not mowing lawns etc and dressed in a t=shirt.
Slightly cooler now with a light Ne blowing here which if it were summertime could be quite friutful!
