Cold Anticyclone....brrrrrrrrrr
I think that after this coming cold weather event, there is the possibility of a cold, intense anticyclone over NZ.
This could see some interesting minimum temperatures in the McKenzie/ Central Otago/inland Canterbury areas.
especially with the the snow around
Will a temperature come up to beat Ophir on that July day in 1995

Station 2 reporting "It's still cold!"
[Edit] Ok, ok so maybe my first post shouldn't have been a bad wether joke.

The temp and dew point are playing catch-up here. If we get no cloud tonight it should become frosty, although there's already a good layer of snow on the ground still.NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote:It may be a cloudy high or a 'dirty' high as because of it's intensenessz, cloud may be trapped under it

Currently in Omarama it's -4.1° but the dewpoint is -5.8°...meanwhile, at Lake Ohau, it's only -0.2 ° but the dewpoint is the same, so they'll most likely get a light frost. They have no snow on the ground there due to the NWer...it can be -7° in Omarama with a southerly, or no wind at all, while Lake Ohau will be basking in +10°, with a strong NWer. Bloody Föhn winds!

We've had cloud overnight so our temps never got anywhere near that low. The lowest temp in the last 24 hours was -5.3° at 19:21, when the sky was still clear.Andy wrote:Strong frost here at the moment -6°c. Sun just popping up now with blue dome skies every where.
What was your low on the 14th, Andy?
