Re: General October Weather
44mm in the last 30 days and just 0.4mm month to date. Really hoping Mon/Tue delivers 10+mm, nothing much in modelling beyond that

I see next monday has a hint of a change coming through mid afternoon which might post a risk of storms
Haven't really had many hints for awhile.

Re: General October Weather
SE Central Otago is still suffering from drought conditions despite some recent rain and moisture
there is not much grass growth currently...
la Nina might mean a dry summer for them..but chance of inland thunderstorms?

Re: General October Weather
Yes still a risk of thunder/ hail monday afternoon, but more of the risk will be inland Canterbury.snowchaser01 wrote: ↑Fri 09/10/2020 16:22Could be an inspired call Mike!

Richard might be in a good spot!
I dont think any storms will be severe Monday. Upper jet 500mb is only 15-20 knts. One major player missing for strong forcing as nzstorm has mentioned in the past.

Re: General October Weather
Looks to be some good rain making potential there early to mid week for the country with that moist Tasman air/trough.

Yes. Looks to be the only chance of rain for the month. Thunder risk Eastern south island tomorrow. Don't think north island will get thunder but some useful rain

A bacic outlook map at this early stage. I'm picking a moderate risk for inland areas Monday morning.

Re: General October Weather
A warm and windy day here today with some strong gusts from the North to NW sector, this afternoon.
Seeds from a neighbouring Golden Elm tree were blowing around, which made it look as thought it was snowing!
Today's maximum was 25C.
Winds dying down later this afternoon with it clearing apart from some nice lenticularis and Cc forms overhead in the upper atmos.

Re: General October Weather
I have wilting grass on the farm which I’ve never seen early October before and the water table is very very low. I also see I’m now more than 450mm behind average for the year. If October doesn’t get wet I’ll be 500+ behind at November.

Very deep pink/orange sunrise sky just now.
Nor'west arch visible. 12.9°C.
