Strong southerly

Unread post by Thunder »

There's a good southerly (SW?) outside at the moment. Dark to the south with some good sized clouds. It just doesn't feel thunderstormy anymore though. Some rain for sure though.

Hi Aaron
Yes, the southerly came through from just after 2pm. I was 19C then about 10seconds later the temperature dropped to 10C. :-w
...not really, just kidding but on TV tonight they will say just how cold it got after the southerly came through. They love mentioning that on the TV weather.
Very messy skies with the change.
It looks as though the colder air is very low to ground surface as there is northerly cloud moving to the south above :)

Maybe winter at last on Thursday?

Yeah, things were messy looking. The wind has calmed a bit now.

It sort of looked promising. I suspect the outskirts of Bank's Peninsula might've got (getting now?) some rain but nothing for Chch, except for the odd stray bit of rain blowen in from somewhere at times.

Yes, maybe on thursday!

All the front and southerly change did for Nelson (sheltered by high mountains to the south), was start a fresh southwesterly or southerly breeze, whereas previously there was little wind. The weather stayed fine.
