Sc layers coming in this evening.

Re: General December Weather
A mainly cloudy day for Christmas Day this year but not cold despite a bit of a ENE this morning and this afternoon.
Clearing away later today with a fine evening. Today's maximum was 20.8C.

Re: General December Weather
Just crunching the numbers and nationally, 2021 is looking likely to topple 2016 as NZ's warmest year on record.
It's also looking like Auckland, Tauranga and possibly Hamilton Aero may end up with their warmest December on record.

Re: General December Weather
The general Auckland dew point today was around 19C and there was not much sea breeze reaching my suburb making for a very humid day here.

Re: General December Weather
MS have moderate risk up in coastal north Canterbury.
They must be looking at the ecmwf maps as GFS isn't aligned.
Personally I prefer the GFS models when it comes to thunderstorms. I'd say a low risk but aaron, Steve and I will head up and see what happens anyway

Re: General December Weather
Maybe tomorrow???
Forecast still says rain moving north over Canterbury when according to the radar , it is moving NW to SE across the South Island.?
Clagg here today with emperors in the mid to low teens.
Edit: I mean temperatures in the mid to low teens. Bloody predictive Text.

Re: General December Weather
More potential on the other side of the Alps judging by the rain radar.

Re: General December Weather
Probably not. Light NE here with rain moving across from the NW not the south as forecasted by MS. Probably overthrow rain but then the southerlies will come in later tonight as a low develops to the east of the South Island?

Re: General December Weather
An overcast and grey day today, direct opposite to the summery weather yesterday.
Had the heater on today whereas yesterday had the fan going to keep cool.
Today's daytime maximum was just 15.6C compared to the 28.1C yesterday.
3.3mm of rain for today.
Wind if any was from the east to NE especially this afternoon.

Re: General December Weather
The rain not eventuating here this morning. Overnight low 20C, dewpoint 19C.
Looks like plenty of sunny warm weather around NZ to start 2022.

Re: General December Weather
Signs of an ex-TC approaching NZ, from the Metservice 5-day rain charts. Possibly around the 4th of January.
