Re: General December Weather
It has been down for 28 hours or so. Very strange to be down so long. Great new site at Metservice though!Tornado Tim wrote:Is there something wrong with a Christchurch radar? It has been down for a while.....

Re: General December Weather
27 degrees and a 19 dewpoint would give a decent heat index in Aucks,around 30.
27 down here would feel like a 23-24

Re: General December Weather
Summer underway, a muggy low of 18C for Auckland.
Hopefully some rain shortly, garden needs a good drink.

Re: General December Weather
hell its muggy here. Milking is no fun at all. In the last 31 days the largest rainfall we have had in one day is 8.2mm. the next highest is 6.2mm. Have had 7mm today but not nearly enough. All this moisture in the air is just playing games with people that need rain.
