Not much rain around for the last 30 days here with Chch only recording 12mm and me here in Rangiora with 10mm.

Yes, the place is drying out a bit, noticed it more so after returning from Oamaru on Monday.
Might have to get the irrigators out

definitely drying out. only 17mm so far this month with only 4 days of rain.
on track for a lowest rainfall record, except bit forecast from Tuesday next week, so we'll see.
and warm too. mean daily max of 23.7°C is a full 4.3°C higher than the same stat the last 2 years.

yes, very warm here again today for the time of year here
3.4C warmer than normal here

and yet I read in the paper today that Mr Duncan says it only feels warm because its not SW

well it is warm...

The nights have certainly warmed up as well, Howick had a low of 16°C last night and 15°C the night before.

Mr Duncan keeps going on about how dry the north is too but show little interest in the south were we have had much less rain in the Chch area than many in the north in the last 30 days.

You have to consider what it's like compared to the average rather than just compare regions. See the NIWA soil moisture deficit map. Soils in Canterbury are indeed drier than usual for the time of year, but soils in Northland are much drier than usual for the time of year.

I especially like their new 30 and 60 day drought ones. Well not so new now but appeared during the drought this year.

Gonna be a stinker out there today, would have been one of those days nudging 30 if the change was to come through a little later on in the day rather than just after midday. Could still get up to late 20's though. Currently 18, no wind and blue dome skies.

Some light showers/drizzle moving through here this morning - the first measurable rain since the 8th

CHCH Weather Chaser · Thu 21/11/2013 11:49

27 degrees now but a light southerly now here so temp will prob start to fall away very soon. You can see the change showing on the radar with that line prefrontal.

Updated: Breezy southerly now, still warm though and a big unstable looking area almost directly above.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Thu 21/11/2013 13:16

Not looking very promising now with low cloud moving in from the SW, sadly

Down to 18C now from 25.8C around 11 am.

Southerly and cloud arrived here at 8.30am which ruined up any chances of decent heating. low cloud and light rain currently.

Looks like a true summers day coming up here, blue skies and already 21°C at 9am

Yes,feels very warm, currently 24C with a dewpoint of 16C.

Man its a warm one today. With the fact the is NO wind, this is making it extra hot feeling. 24.7 with a DP of 16.1.

After years of prep I plan to finally put the top coats of paint on my boat at 6am tommorow, just need the dew to stay away. Not looking good...

Clear day with 25C for Auckland. Looks similar tomorrow.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Fri 22/11/2013 17:24

A bit different to the rubbish that Christchurch is getting with persistent low cloud and NE rubbish

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Sat 23/11/2013 09:22

Got to 26.7C yesterday. Today it is already pushing 21C. I suspect we will be a bit warmer today if conditions remain the same. Maybe 27+ today, which is pretty darn warm for November. 27.3C in 2010 is the warmest November temp this station has ever recorded.

David · Unread post by **David** » Sat 23/11/2013 11:05

Mainly clear skies here, 23.5C with 16-17C dewpoint. We have been doing a major garden tidy up at home and would have liked a cloudy day or two! Really hot working out there in full sun and little wind
