Just equaled yesterday's 29.9 maximum here.. must be a good chance of hitting 30

Another cloudy, drizzly day here in Wellington. Summer just hasn't arrived for us.

Yeah I would think so, but that SW'er is starting to pick up here now, as usual...

Smashed my record in Howick... top temp of 30.7°C so far

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Tue 07/02/2017 15:07

Dew point temp around 19C making for sultry conditions, easily our warmest day of the year.

in contrast, cloudy periods (low cloud) has meant only a high of 24.6 here (which is the warmest day since December here)

Even Whangaparaoa hit at least 30C today, which I think is a first…

... 28.7C here.

Other MS highs today include 33.9C at Hastings, 33.3C at Napier Aero and 33.2C at Gisborne Aero. And in the BoP, Whakatane Aero and Kawerau hit 32C and Tauranga Aero 30C. Also 31C at Whangarei Aero

In contrast 14deg the high here today

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Tue 07/02/2017 18:28

29.9C again today at Rickys Grey Lynn. Odd to get that reading two days in a row considering 30C has never been recorded in the weather station history.

no ceiling on the data..i.e it has not flat lined at 29.9

(the graph scale will auto scale once above 30 and or that scale can be set in the software)

Bloody cold down here, nearly thinking of lighting the fire

check out METVUW 16-20 Feb. Looks like an end to this upper level fest moving troughy/ridgey stuff from the West.The next step is to try and believe it will actually occur !!!. Still 25 here outside [Tepuna] very humid though I think the humid layer is quite shallow. Deep convection unlikely tomorrow good steady rain on the cards,[the kind you can hear on the roof] looking forward to it.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Tue 07/02/2017 22:12

25C around midnight but it cooled down to be a rather overcast and cold day for February here.
Boring really with a light NE developing.
Temperature not getting much more than 15C.

I see METVUW 16 -20 Feb back to the January dry windy pattern. Unbelievable ,12 hours later and so different ???

MetVUW simply displays the same free GFS model as many other sites, yet many people on Facebook seem to think that Vic Uni is a forecasting agency, and even criticize it as such… lol

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Wed 08/02/2017 08:45

I see Napier has picked up 27.4mm,
The first easterly rain over the North Island for a long time.

Be very thankful we have the GFS.

Trump should put a charge on the current free model.

David · Unread post by **David** » Wed 08/02/2017 14:03

Hopefully we'll get some good rainfall here overnight? GFS showing ~30mm for central Auckland.

No such luck here in Christchurch. Cooler couple of days but its tinder dry round here. Just waiting for more idiots to cause fires on the hills

Not sure I see that happening. In saying that we do keep getting huge sporadic rain drops falling with no cloud feature above us (all very elevated convection).

Manukau heads obs · Wed 08/02/2017 17:00

Looking unstable..cloud build ups occuring

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Wed 08/02/2017 17:03

The instability is shallow over the Waikato.

Coromandel and eastern North Auckland will get a good soaking overnight/morning due orographic enhancement. But Auckland city will largely miss out.

Looks a good shower to my west. Got a mama cloud show here.
