[Dean.]

I have the fan going in the living room for the first time this season.
Partly cloudy, sunny, moderate to fresh northerlies.
28.0°C; 41% humidity; 1003.3hPa.

28 degrees with a dewpoint of 16...a cooler southerly not far away

[Kobi]

My station has 28.7C right now outside, official airport station on 26.1C, some stations around the city have up to 30C it seems, so is quite a bit of localised differences in temperature right now.

Southerly just arrived here:
currently 26.5°C, 41% humidity, 1005.0hPa.

[Kobi]

Cold change came through at 6pm today, short 10-15 minutes of light drizzle with it, did not amount to enough for my station to record any rain, 10 degree temperature drop occurred as it came through (26C -> 16C)

[Storm Struck]

Few brief showers out on Banks Peninsula this evening with a strong SW wind shift.
Interestingly enough GFS wanted nothing to do with any moisture today on the plains, but ECMWF had a hint of some light Precipitation which it did.
The same goes for the low system this coming show weekend, ECMWF showing some decent rainfall for the plains yet GFS not so much.
Will come into line as the week progresses no doubt, has been the theme all year with the models.

Still waiting eagerly for a decent storm day in the Waitaha region, but I'm sure it will kick off soon enough as we enter the peak time.
Still personally yet quietly confident of a changeable summer ahead.

Back home from the Waikato area late yesterday to a rather warm day here today maximizing out at 28.1C before the much cooler southerly wind went through just before 4pm with the associated temperature drop. Clouding up with a few spits of rain with the cooler wind.
Wind dying out this evening and reverting back to a light NE.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Cooler day here with lots of cloud around and a light NE. Clearing from the WSW this evening. 18.4C for today.

The first proper rain of the month here this morning, 2.2mm fell at Grey Lynn.

A moist trough in the models to cross here Friday, 17C dew point but warm upper air.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Fine this morning but a south-easterly wind change went through this morning with it gradually clouding up as the day wore on. !7.8C the maximum for today. The SE died out later this afternoon with a light NE and cloud thickening to a boring Sc layer.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Another fine day with nothing much happening under high pressure. Clouding up a bit later in the day from the WSW. Light easterlies today tending more southerly this evening.20.7C here today.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Low cloud overnight and early this morning but clearing away to become a fine morning.
Clouding up during the afternoon with a NE breeze. 20.7C the maximum for today.

[Storm Struck]

Some welcome patchy light to moderate rain this morning, will be more rainfall over the coming days.
Perhaps a low risk for an isolated thunderstorm through South Canterbury tomorrow afternoon, with heavy showers and small hail possible.
Saturday probably presents a simular risk across most of the region, with -30C upper air crossing and time of year.
But will mostly be heavy showers and hail than thunderstorms.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Low cloud overnight clearing away to reveal various high cloud forms for today. Light winds from the north tending to the south this afternoon with some scattered cloud layer fill ins delivering one or two light showers later this afternoon and early evening. Mild day with 20.4C the maximum.

[spwill]

The rain here today will be great for the garden after a dry start to the month and rest of the month looks like it could end up dry with an anticyclonic look to November. Currently 18C,dewpoint 17C, moderate rain.

Satellite now showing bubbly looking cloud in inland Canterbury.

Brighter weather has arrived here now, I see Grey Lynn picked up 35mm.

[Orion]

At the moment: overcast and very dull; 10.1°C and falling;
southeasterly seems to have strengthened to fresh;
looks like it's drizzling again;
74% humidity; 1010.2hPa and rising.

[Storm Struck]

Not too much to report from here, has been dry all day and still is surprisingly.
Although those heavy showers should move north overnight and into tomorrow morning.
Heavy showers and hail maybe a clap of thunder thrown in there given time of year as that cold upper air passes over.

Today never stuck out for me, no real great instability numbers etc.

NSW and QLD continue to get days of severe storms, feels like they are pinching all the unstable energy

Yes, SE Queensland and NE NSW is the place to go for thunderstorms, they get some nice supercells and great lightning shows. I think New Zealand is getting less stormy.

Light rain late afternoon/early evening in St Albans, but dry now.
