27 in ChCh today,was very warm up there,a summer's night outside at the moment

Yes, Chch Aero's current May record is 27.3C set in 1978, followed by 26.1C in 2002 and 1955.

Also 28C at Kaikoura today (presumably at the airport), which may also be a May record.

Warm day for May, all right.
28C at Puketa, where the aerodrome is just south of Kaikoura.
Must be a record for that site.
Didn't seem all that warm here but then, I suppose thermometers don't lie.

GFS showing a good soaking here early Friday. Enjoying the milder weather at the moment!

A nice fohn wind effect with those high temps around Canturbury today.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Thu 07/05/2015 06:26

So Chch Aero's 26.6C yesterday would be its 2nd highest May temp since records began in 1954.
Not sure about Kaikoura Aero's 28C yesterday, which it seems shot back up to 27C at midnight. However, Kaikoura town's 25.2C yesterday was its 3rd highest May temp since records began in 1964.

Warm and partly cloudy at 20-21*C atm with moist Dps at 18-19*C, yet the front is fairly close.....
Air saturated all the way to 400hpa, risk of some Heavy Rain for sure.....

Manukau heads obs · Thu 07/05/2015 11:56

the front looks to be activating a bit currently?

David · Unread post by **David** » Thu 07/05/2015 13:41

A high of 22.3°C here today which is a new May record for my station. Humid too

Nev do you happen to know if Christchurch Aero has ever recorded two 25C+ in a row in May before?

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Thu 07/05/2015 15:06

Pre frontal showers developing now just the SW of Hamilton atm.

Just heard thunder to my west. Im confused though because the rain is still quite a way away. So either it was incredibly loud thunder or a bloody loud nearby explosion.

2 28C days in a row in Kaikoura $\:D/$

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Thu 07/05/2015 21:19

Probably again at Puketa. Maybe the thermometer got stuck from yesterday?

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Fri 08/05/2015 06:32

Kaikoura town's 25.5C yesterday pipped Wednesday's temp as its 3rd highest May temp since records began in 1964. Its highest being 25.8C in 1999, followed by 25.6C in 2002.

Akld Aero's 24.4C yesterday was also it 2nd highest May temp since records began in 1963. Its highest being 24.6C in 2011.

It must have been raining worms here overnight, based on the one I found in my glass balustrade mounted Nylex 1000… lol.

19mm here so far since last night.

Is 2011 correct? My station records show the highest in May 2011 was only 21.0. That would be an unusually large difference between here and the airport

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Fri 08/05/2015 07:40

Yes, nationally May 2011 was our warmest May on record. Lots of records or near records that month, including Whangaparaoa's 2nd-equal highest May temp of 21.8C, along with 23.4C at Ardmore and 22.7C at Whenuapai (same as Ricky).
