Re: General May Weather
This Fog is amazing!
It makes the grass look so cool with the spiderwebs!
I have the full HD version (1080p) of the picture, makes a really good desktop wallpaper!
So if you want it give me a PM.

Perfect weather here today,clear skies 19C.
looks like eastern areas of NZ will be mostly in the firing line for rain over the next week particularly eastern NorthIsland.

Re: General May Weather
Light showers on and off all morning here bringing a futher 1mm, although has since stopped.
It certainly is starting to feel like winter now, with the overcast and dreary days this low system sure has produced some reasonable rainfall for much of the country.
If Monday/Tuesdays low system pulls through its going to be worse than the low we have just had.

Re: General May Weather
its possible, i have observed lots of little eddy vorticies in the low system last week, and i think that was just one of them. still, its definitely related to that system, so yea
does anyone have access to a week long satellite loop??
the forecast low for this weekend appears to be taking shape above it - its begun!

Stunning picture of the sun set DT.

Re: General May Weather
After the talk in the other thread about a sun dog in one of your pics DT-NZ and how I had only seen a couple in Perth, I saw a pearler of one today:

I was also treated to a few contrails, all this one needed was an 'N' in front of it and it would have been perfect!
Got a surprising bit of rain here last night, only around 2-3mm but surprising none-the-less as it wasn't expected.
Was hard trying to get the shot right to avoid too much lens flair as you can tell.
