The way this winter has gone and looks like continuing I say good riddance and let's move into spring and some good stormy weather!

Our hydrangea plants buds have opened thinking its spring. We also have daffodils and early cheer flowers. Tulips and freesias aren't far from sprouting a flower. The early cheer has been flowering for over two weeks now.

We have ripe grapefruit on our trees, which doesn't normally happen until September...

Gusty shower through here now, surprised not to have heard thunder today.

Interesting to see the Waikato river today carrying a very noticeable amount of suspended sediment, even upstream of Cambridge. In fact it's coming through the Karapiro Dam like that, as Lake Karapiro has been filled with rain fed local inflow, resulting in very different looking water to normal.

Excellent thunder here Out West.

Thunderstorm nearby Tawa, looks like heading over the Hutt.

Nothing here, just a gloomy calm day with grey skies and hardly any wind.
The barometer might as well be 1030hPa, with 'anticyclonic gloom"

Doesn't look all that wet down south, according to the Rakaia radar, but then when the new Dunedin radar comes on line, we would be better informed?

What Dunedin radar?

Snowing to 1600m at Ruapehu going by the cams. Looking long rage there is potential for a decent dump or two.

A couple of thunder booms from the north last 5 mins as next shower line moves in.

I have a horrible feeling what little snow they are getting at the moment might be lost to warm rain later in the week.

Thank goodness there are now true signs of winter! Going to be a later opening then usual this year but things will be fine I think.

Not sure theres anything noteworthy on the horizon for the Canterbury fields

Nothing much interesting weather wise, here today.
That's global warming for you

A fine day today for Auckland but tomorrows system looks reasonably active with very good moisture (precipitable water 30mm) and good upper level dynamics with a 100kt 500mb jet! A little bit of instability showing up so some places in the upper North Island including Auckland could catch a thundery downpour.

Manukau heads obs · Tue 28/06/2016 21:55

been a warm start to the year:

500mb temperature chart today showing the big thermal contrast aloft over the north of the country which leads to a unusually strong jet stream at that level.

The front crosses Auckland early afternoon with some heavy squally rain.

Its looking like a wet day here. Rain started earlier than predicted and so we have already had 8mm. Looks like we could get another 20mm on top. Sure has been a wet period after a dry start to the month (very similar to May).

the hawkes bay/gisborne area will welcome the rain as they are much drier than normal

........surprisingly it quite damp 30cm down, having little evaporation this time of year helps

Heavy showers crossing Auckland now, good downpour over my suburb currently
