Another 8.3mm of rain overnight before clearing away to a nice sunny day.
Mild with some NW again this afternoon and some interesting lenticular forms. Today's maximum was 17.3C.

Looks like another active polar jet to affect country mid week with thunder in the western high country and gales in some parts.
WesternNorthIsland in with a thunder chance Thursday.

Yes, a repeat of this weeks weather
The spring Equinox gales being relevant to the Ostara-Vernal at 1.23am on the 23rd.

A fine day with light NE and some clouds. 16.4C maximum.

Interesting.. not quite getting what the models are suggesting? the upper air looks fairly warm tomorrow and there is no SW influence? Just E-NE i have tomorrow off to so if there is storms ill be able to chase though

Polar jet crossing NZ Wednesday/Thursday.

MS going for a dry, settled warm week here in Canty, things are certainly turning the seasonal corner quickly this year

Yes wensday/ thursday is chance for a storm set up. Tomorrow/Tuesday look settled

I see there is going to be a build up of moisture/dew point with the NW flow, over the NI, providing good CAPE, along with a jet stream, for Thursday

That NE has turned it up in the last week or so here. Has it does in spring and summer.. yesterday i saw the clouds and there was CU around. Definitely more punch in the CU now

Wasn't, expecting the NW to return as quickly has it has today, hope they dont get as nasty this week as they did last week

After a slight frost this morning a blue dome day eventuated with light NE.
Today's maximum was 17.7C.

Misty/foggy morning, calm or light air, 4.8°C at present.

i see we have more rain for us nth islanders this week. possibly thunder as well.

Another strong wind warning for the Canterbury High Country for the next couple of days, as you say Richard hope it isn't as brutal as last week as the Hurunui needs it like a hole in the head.

Wednesday afternoon looking quite good for Canterbury storms in a few aspects as a small low forms this side of the Alps, especially Chch/north with a gap in cloud cover, DP 9C and chance of an easterly with the dying NW but the upper air is only around -20C so maybe low-moderate risk. This going by the last GFS run, as it's currently updating.

Another blue dome day, after the mist cleared away this morning.
not much wind, if so from the NE
Today's maximum was 19.9C.

this coming weekend sure looks like an active/ sharp cold front to cross

Yes this weekend looks nasty!

Warm north west meeting a westerly. This is looking SW toward Hamilton. Building nicely.

Looks like dust in the air towards the foothills again.
21°C, NW breeze fitful at this stage.
