Frosty High, 1-8th June
Temperatures going down tonight under clear skies and a dying southerly breeze, 7.5° here now and slowly falling (slower than I was expecting though)
Looks like some frost possible for sheltered areas of Auckland tonight.

Re: General June Weather
Cheers David. Yes, T-mins for first morning of winter in Akld may not have quite as cold as Fri, May 22, but with a T-max of just 11°C (combined with a bitter wind-chill), it would no doubt have been the coldest day in Akld so far this year. While both Akld and Whenuapai Aero were on about 4°C this morn, official temps ranged from 1.8°C in Pukekohe to 5.7°C in Henderson. Khyber Pass (city fringe, opp Akld Grammar) recorded 3.2°C.

Temperature not dropping that much here either... very strange even with a clear sky.

Re: General June Weather
I'd say this is true about Auckland, but if there's a west southwest breeze running all night in Hamilton you can practically kiss goodbye to frosts!
Edit: Never seen this forecast string from the Davis station at Jamie's: "mostly clear for 12 to 24 hrs. and cooler."

Re: General June Weather
I have never seen it displayed on my station either but I knew it existed, as I dug into the firmware.
Aparently it gives tones of messages.
A bit strange how it never pops up.

Re: General June Weather
You still have many hours of potential cooling to go though.
Having said that...I do wonder if the breeze could be kept up all night by a katabatic from the central plateau....

Re: General June Weather
I see even Rotorua and Taupo are above 0 this morning, how strange
Temperature was too erratic here, up and down all night, 3° sometimes 6° other times, so only got down to 2.6°C here in the end. Maybe see a frost tonight??

Already -0.3 there now. Im glad im not still down there. -4 should be on the cards which will again smash the -3.7 last month that smashed Will's record.
I even felt the cold here as i just walked back from uni.

Re: General June Weather
Hi Dale. Not sure if you're referring to j--me--h's 0.3°C or not, but it was actually -0.3°C. I've dropped that sentence a line so the minus symbols don't end up on one line and the figures on another.
Currently 2.7°C here.

Re: General June Weather
I am surprised at the amount of frost here this morning, considering the low was 0.1°C (usually don't see this much frost until it gets below -0.5°C here, so 0.1 is not that unusual here). Roofs are white, cars are frozen over, and there is a ground frost. Here's a picture:
