There may be a high across the country but last nights upper air sounding
from Whenuapai shows the upper air unstable to 3700m and the potentially unstable above that. I first noticed showers developing yesterday afternoon with a localised cb over Hunua. Then we had a heavy shower over Auckland about 9.30pm last night. The cb's this morning appear to have drifted westward out to sea.

i see there looks to be set a low moving down out of the tropics during the week (yet again!), but at the moment the models have it going just to the east of us, and we will just get dry SE here in the NI, but they may get some rain with a SSW aistream it drags up over eastern SI areas....but sitll no rain for manawatu

Thats Good I like SE like today but hate SW as theyre always cold,strong and often galeforce here and give rain/showers and low sunshine.

Re that low coming in from the north.

Weather will end up being rough over Northland/Coromandel this week.
Windy, Overcast, showers.

Easter weather looks unsettled for the whole country.

There has been unstable cumulus here and around the Port Hills for the last couple of days, despite the settled conditions. Only went back to the NE properly late this afternoon.

Yes, it does look like the country will be attacked from both ends this Easter WE.
Shame the anticyclone dosen't linger to give everyone a nice Easter WE!

Hi John,

You need to change the offset in your Profile to GMT+12.

The advantage of being a registered user is that you can choose your own GMT offset and all times are displayed using it. This is handy for those outside NZ.

The disadvantage is that all registered users have to make their own adjustments for DST as it's too complex for the forum to cope with all the different conventions used.

Cheers,
Steven
