General August Weather

[NZstorm]

Yes, the second day in which isolated heat showers have developed late in the day, fall out from dying cu. Interesting to see it in August. The air will be more moist tomorrow afternoon so maybe more convection although looks like high cloud rolls in to block our sunshine as a weakening front approaches from our west.

sorry if this annoys people but jeez i'm bored of this nothing weather... where has the action weather gone?

[carrot]

I didn't enjoy the winter in Christchurch at all.
No snow, storms or anything exciting really.
I hope spring has more action.

[NZstorm]

and looks like another week of nothing weather coming unless you live in Hokitika!

Should be quite mild everywhere though. Good to see the back of winter cold.

Relatively warm 13°C and 1.6mm here overnight. I see Northland's Kaeo also got over 25mm as did the Coromandel Ranges with over 30mm. Were a few offshore CG's out west this morn as well.

you can see a cluster of cb's just out to east of Northland on sat pic.

Beautiful day here in Christchurch i notice the metservice says drizzle slowly clearning? Did we even have cloud to have drizzle? Beats me. Its already 14 degrees with a very light ENE breeze. It really does not seem like any more cold weather is with us this winter. Im praying for snow on the 3rd September for my 21st birthday or 5th September for my 21st Party!!That would be the best gift of all! However, loving the warm start to today!

It'll be a close call at this stage, Mark, but you just might get your wish........we've had snow in CHCH in SEP in the past...ya never know...

Did Christchurch not get any rain last night?, it was patchy rain here around 11pm and up to 3mm in the gauge.
It is another nice day, it actually feels warmer than it is though.

Very nice day down here in Invercargill, not a cloud in the sky and a pleasent temp.

Anyone else having problems with MetService's site today, or is it just me?

[fairskies]

Looks like interesting weather on the way for central and southern areas for the rest of the week.
Northwest gales from tomorrow evening into Wednesday here in Wellington.
Might have to finish the bike ride early.

Yeah i woke up to the ground being wet this morning, and there was abit of light rain last night.
I think it was light rain from about 7pm to be honest, i was outside then to.
What beautiful day though today!! spring has really taken affect early its great
And did feel warmer then it was today indeed.
From tomorrow onwards this week will be warmer, i cant wait.. we are also heading ever so closer to storm season!

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Already 16 degrees here and the warmest in the country according to metservice. The funny thing is we have a 30km/h ENE!! Im surprised we are on 16 with that. The winds should change more northerly late this afternoon/evening and tomorrow could peak to near 20 and Thursday for that matter.

Might want to move this into the warm,windy topic Mark, as its not really general weather now with this system coming .
