Very nice start to the weekend today, a crisp 2 C outside but clear skies and a lite westerly air flow, also to note some nice clouds are building up over Bp

Fingers crossed maybe?, im off toblenheim so I hope nothing happens down here

October tends to be a boring month for weather in NZ with equinoxial westerlies which tend to be stable but rainy in the west. This October looks to be no exception to that rule.

I notice sea surface temps look quite cold at the moment. Figures I'm looking at are a week old but wouldn't have changed much. 15C in the north to 8C off the Otago coast.

Usually you can look at the clouds and estimate how strong the wind is but the wind appears stronger than the speed they appear to be moving across the sky today

Sounds good. Hope it keeps raining for you.

Most of the cloud here has now gone but the wind is at Gale Force at times with 15c

Partly cloudy day on Banks Peninsula - a brief shower shortly after midday (long after the last showers were forecast to clear). Still cold with a southerly gusting very strongly on occasion.

Frosty then fine today with a few clouds. Fresh Southwest breeze spoiling a bit

17c

These ridges of high pressure are kinda annoying, because if you blink, you'll miss them!

Low pressure in the central Tasman next week will bring a change from the stable Westerlies and maybe some interesting weather .

Yes it will be a change but again "We" had F. all stable weather for the last month(well at least boring cold showery windy weather where you cant really do much enjoyable outside)

Horrible day in ChCh today with those annoying ENE-terlies.

They're no good unless a cold front is due within the next hour or so in the afternoon

Should be worse tomorrow
