Chucking Them Up

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Sat 16/09/2006 21:30

According to the latest ECMWF, it looks as those the 'Roaring 40s" are chucking up some depressions, resulting in a rather disturbed W/SW flow for the coming week for New Zealand.
One of them which could produce thunderstorms to Canterbury next Saturday at this stage

Looks more like a warming WNW flow now

. Very wet on the SI West Coast.. cold fronts should really battle as they reach the North Island.

Milford should see 300mm+ by Monday.. should be some very heavy falls in the warm troposphere.

Looks like we might see our first 20Â°C day this Saturday.

Napier should see some consecutive 23Â°C+ days by Friday?

Looking a bit too warm.

Another fine, cool and gusty day today.

Suffice to say that it is a "Michael" Day here in the land of the Jaffa

some surprising active looking showers way to my SW, despite a 1020 hpa barometer

cold today for the time of year, only 13 to 14oC here
warmer weather on its way though once the WNW arrives

Early morning frosts around Banks Peninsula and Chch, plus a slight dusting of snow (looked more like frost), on some high peaks around Akaroa and Little River from last evening's showers. But otherwise a fine mild day.

The flow now seems to be more W/NW from this with a more active one coming our way on Friday. No thunderstorms now, sadly, unless this system tends a more southerly direction.

Northwesterlies with temps into the mid 20's in eastern areas. Depends on how much high cloud.

Still brilliant sun here but the NW wind is getting very fresh now and the "Mr Hyde side" should be evident in the evening.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 19/09/2006 08:45

look out all the windows

you are exagerating

this forum should be for factual reports

not exageration

i can see your house (well the suburb where you live) , from here.

we have already been over 13oC here this morning
the afternoon is not even here yet, so why are you comparing yesterday afternoon to todays this morning?

Change to grey windy NW on time (this am forecast)

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Tue 19/09/2006 19:18

It was a sort of 7/8 cloudy day here with a NW Arch not having much gap of blue sky between it and the cloud along the Alps.
Mild day with NW breezes.
May be interesting as the week progresses

Thundery in the west with some tornadoes

30Â°C in Sydney today!

A lot of northwesterly drag in the Tasman coming straight of Aus, come big temps on the way.. up to ~26Â°C?
850mb temps rising to 12Â°C over most of the South Island.. probably the temperatures we would see in a warm NW flow during November!

That front looks thundery, but we wont get anything, like 2mm last night.

Storm Struck · Unread post by **Storm Struck** » Wed 20/09/2006 15:39

Wow that is warm for the time of year it is

yes perhaps temps into the mid twenties tomorrow or friday

.
Still NE here at the moment NW hasnt hit yet should be here about 5pm if not sligthly later with a few big gusts.
Tomorrow morning I am still thinking could be a short strong blow from the alps but will see.
MS backed off abit on thier 140kmh to 120kmh now but still could be some biggies in some inland open areas.
Cheers
Jason.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Wed 20/09/2006 15:53

Yes Jase, a keen ENE blowing here at the moment keeping the temperature at about 12Â°C
NW should come through about 8pm according to MetService, then the temperature should warm up a little

30Â°C in Sydney today!

Not unusual in Sydney from now on. They get their best weather in spring with the equinoxial westerlies.

Lovely day in Auckland today. Looks like a ridge will dominate our weather for the near future.

Heh. 21Â°C in Kaikoura at 3am.

3:00 am 21 Sep 2006 NZST
Temperature: 21 Â°C
Wind Speed: 33 km/h
Wind Direction: NW
Rain (last hr): 0.0 mm
Humidity: 30 %
Pressure: 1004 hPa

A cool 5Â°C here and 0Â°C in Waiouru.
I see NZCH has increased to 17Â°C at 5am.

Thunderstorms on the West Coast have ceased for now, front weakening rapidly at the moment due to diurnal cooling.

A partly cloudy day on the cards today with dewpoints ~13Â°C up over the upper North.
