Re: General December Weather
My xmas lilies are about a week early to open this year, so maybe a sign its been a bit warmer or is it more sunshine hours?

Re: General December Weather
The humid air has arrived with 18C currently and also some brief light rain/drizzle, should be more brief scattered rain this afternoon.
Tomorrow will be very uncomfortable with high humidity and around 30C possible, also the chance of afternoon heavy showers.

Re: General December Weather
Those magic storm making hills west of Timaru will get good storms tomorrow. Guaranteed. There will be a supercell inland from Oamaru that will move against the tide and it will break things with some hail.
There, my totally science-based predictions for tomorrow.

....either that or just clagg but in saying that, there maybe a clap or two tomorrow if the clagg clears.dogmelon wrote: ↑Thu 15/12/2022 21:02 Those magic storm making hills west of Timaru will get good storms tomorrow.

Will wait and see
I don't think there was much thunderstorm activity around today, severe activity of thunderstorms have been more severe in the past rather than nowadays when they didn't issue a STW. Got to cover their rectums these days just in case a death may occur from a thunderstorm event, in this age of social media, etc..
Anyway, a rather cloudy and overcast day with light winds from the NE. Some light rain later this afternoon.
21.3C for today.

Re: General December Weather
For areas north of Taupo Sunday looks like the day for a few thunderstorms with the upper level cooling moving in. Some heavy showers for Waikato/BOP this afternoon, dew points around 20C this afternoon.

Re: General December Weather
The sun will come out soon once the rain band shifts off to the SE, she'll be sticky then.

Re: General December Weather
Yes I wasn't expecting the brief rain this morning, but should be some heavy showers this afternoon around 4pm.
Plenty of CU high up and mamatus clouds too, very humid with 23c

I'm not so sure that anything will move down your way, no convergence happening inland.Storm Struck wrote: ↑Fri 16/12/2022 13:09 but should be some heavy showers this afternoon around 4pm.

Re: General December Weather
We are right on the edge of the MS thunderstorm risk area for today. I’m hoping we get some sort of relief before darkness tonight.

Rain developing inland again. Some storm cells appear to be forming inland of Timaru.
