Re: Unsettled Early July
I think this thread should be renamed to focus on the North Island. South Island weather looks reasonably settled for a while now by comparison.

Re: Unsettled Early July- North Island
ECWMF has it dragged up the eastcoast of the SI this time next week from a secondary low including the NI low then to the chathams in the tasman with an intense anticyclone in the south tasman.

Re: Unsettled Early July- North Island

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
Theres a big jet stream through the North Tasman which will lead to the low development in the next 24hrs.just a trough,maybe it will appear over the next 24 hours.
Yes, we may get to gale force in Auckland overnight Sunday. Gales more possible over North Auckland region though.Sure looks increasingly likely that we are going to get a very strong easterly here on Sunday night.

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
Is that two low pressure centres showing up in the satellite pic in the north Tasman currently. Also some elevated convection developing over the top of Northland.
GFS still indicating the Gisborne/Hawkes Bay regions will take the biggest rainfall hit. The Coromandel EW rain gauges could be interesting viewing also!

Strange these days we never get our rain from the NE plus the NE wind we used to get with it.

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
Looks like it is going to be awful conditions for the warriors match in Auckland this afternoon. The commentators said last week here at AMI Stadium that " here in the rain, mist and sleet". Ah commentators it was like 8 degrees still and a typical drizzle that the city has Anyways maybe might get to watch some heavy rain in Auckland on TV later

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
^11C? More like about 13C here and most other places around Ak at midday, including the airport.
Strong E'erlys out in the Gulf atm.
Not too often you see warnings in force for the Hauraki Gulf of E'erly and SE winds to 40 knots for this evening and tomorrow morn, albeit N of Whangaparaoa, with gusts to 50 knots for both of Akld's Harbours.
Our low's become pretty well organised today...

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
Yep I think some those ranges could see 400mm over this entire event... if that happens that could cause significant flooding.NZstorm wrote:

Re: Sub-tropic low affecting North Island, July 3-8th
Report from Hukerenui, strong gusty NE winds arrived here approx 20 mins ago, moderate to heavy rainfall, now only light drizzle out at moment - clouds are moving fast up there.
Did try to do a report earlier on this afternoon, however, everything is running slow on the internet - seems to be running faster now.

Sounds like you must in the lee the Coromandel/greater-landmass where you are David?David wrote:Almost 5pm and still barely any wind - and to think I was expecting to break my record high gust today (61km/h)
Mean E'erly winds of at least 52 km/h on the Waitemata and 74 km/h out at Tiritiri Lighthouse.
5mm of light rain here so this arvo. I see KerikeriWeather has had 47mm today.
P.S. That 13C around noon was fairly short-lived - back down to about 11C here now.
