Beebop conditions here today.

Must be the windiest place in the country today,wind is whistling out there constant.

Very blustery, keeping our temp down in the fine conditions.

The winds are driving me nuts, they are blowing straight on our house. Must be the windiest day here for a while.

Not looking forward to the radio rigging job I'm attempting tomorrow morning at Takaurunga in the Kaimai ranges. Lets hope the winds lighten a bit by then.

No lies the wind when either SW or its close cousin SSW from October till about early april in the situation of a tasman high is sitting there or NW of the cape it blows solid like this(maybe just a little less but almost) from 10am till 8pm then abates at night.

Low of 3.1C here at 4.35am, brrr....
Cloudy this morning.

got to 0.8 during the night but cloud cover rolled over and lifted up back to nearly 5.

Cooling overnight under clear skies then cloud cover moving in before sunrise = cold morning,.
Low 5C, 12C currently,light winds.

GFS is not showing much in the way of precip for Auckland over the next 7days. Sundays front could give a few mm.

Looks like another lot of thunderstorms passing to the north of the country today.

Thought this little blog by Jim Salinger in this morn's Auckland Stuff may be of interest...

'Spring is sprung - and the weather is chaos'

Warmest night here for 4 months with it only dropping to 6.3 degrees due to low cloud cover.

This month must be running below average temperatures,can it be confirmed?

Up to 21st about 90% of the country is below mean temp., mean deficit looks to be about 0.5C. (Explorer chart)

Not surprised,been so little in the way of warm days lately ,today here would have one of our first days that actually felt like spring with 19deg,finally warm enough to expose the white legs to a bit of sunshine.

Yesterday's easterly was quite cold despite the sunshine. Just managing the double figure digits.
Watch out for those white legs, there, Richard. Don't want to shock the natives

Looks like the dry weather in Auckland should continue until Sunday when we get a sharp cold change and a few mm.

Already 18.5 degrees with no wind to speak of. Beautiful!Not sure why M/S going for rain with 'heavy falls possible' this afternoon. I wouldn't have thought we would see prolonged steady rain from this, showers yes.

You're quoting Jeff's temperature reading when the official temp is 14.1.

Have to wonder where you are when ChCh is having a cool day.

On these light wind days Metservice station always catches up later in the day. Seems to warm quicker in the east early on with light winds, common trend but don't know why. Obviously the Metservice station warms up quicker on NW days because the NW will tend to reach there before here.

Watch the Southerly come in @ http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstat ... ICANTERB70 18.9 °C here already,hard to think it might snow on the Banks tonight
