Briefly heavy rain in St Albans, no thunder/lightning observed. (blinked eyes rapidly to imagine sheet lightning)

Re: General January Weather
There's the wind.
If those uppers had just been a bit colder or maybe more heating/NE maybe we'd have been in business. Kind of fell apart over the city but still nice to see a downpour
Lights have flickered on and off occasionally including just now (9:02pm).

Re: General January Weather
Some evening buildups here today with a very brief shower at dusk. Was a very humid day with dewpoint up around 22 for a time this afternoon. Took this pic just before sunset

Re: General January Weather
I used to do that quite often in my younger days. Also used to slowly rub my fingers over my eardrums to imitate the sound of thunder.

Re: General January Weather
a bit of light rain with the wind change , 0.9mm
so that is now 15mm only for me for January
doesn't look any more rain for Jan, unless maybe a shower with the easterly change
so that will be the driest Jan since 1974 for me

Re: General January Weather
Looks like well above average sunshine hours will be recorded for Jan over a large part of the North Island and the South west of thr South. I can't remember Ruakura ever going over 300hrs before in a calendar month but with 3 fine days forecast to end off the month, looks odds on to happen. Not that it's an entirely positive thing, as contributing a lot to the drying.

Re: General January Weather
At last, a generally fine day with light winds. some high cloud around especially this evening making a nice sunset.
Today's maximum was 22.7C.
Looks like the weather will warm up, here from now on. Summer at last. Early February usually brings out the 'particularly hot' weather here.

Re: General January Weather
Had a look in Cliflo and Ruakura has seen >300 hours before, but likely not since Jan 1993, although did not check every year with the transition between sites.cbm wrote: ↑Fri 28/01/2022 21:50 Looks like well above average sunshine hours will be recorded for Jan over a large part of the North Island and the South west of thr South.

The max looks to be a whooping 315 hours in Jan 1950 (which apparently was a La Nina year). With three days to go, this year could have beaten that but would have needed 3 almost cloud free days to finish the month. Yesterday was partly cloudy in the morning would have ended that chance Today not a cloud to be seen so far. Suspect >300 hours this month is still likely.
