General January Weather

[NZstorm]

Still only 17C in Grey Lynn, typical warm frontal affect with cool air ahead of the warm front.

Days this cool in Auckland in January are quite rare. Back in January 1998 there was a day with max of 17.8C on 9th NZAA.

Just north of Springs Juction

Looks like an improving day for Auckland tomorrow and it should warm up a bit despite the southerly wind. Will make a nice change from today.

[Richard]

Nice photo looks like most of the storm actively was in the molesworth area today

[03Stormchaser]

Did over 600km today, didnt see alot other than a couple distant cbs and strong cu with pilus. Im sure at a later date Aaron will upload some photos.

Oh no 600ks for just cumulus? Thats horrible, Your day will come soon... I hope . This La Nina really doesn't play in your favor does it.
Anyway I hope it was a good trip.

[Razor]

Any day cruising the South Island Alpine highways is a good day

[jamie]

Does anyone one else think this rain is falling much more west than MS thought it would. We are getting a heap of rain when I thought we would get bugger all. The warnings are for east of opotiki but rain radar shows all the rain falling well west of opotiki.

[Manukau heads obs]

yeah often you get a sort of lee trough with the NE/SW interchange
we have had 32mm here so far and its stull raining

[Achten]

42mm so far with perisistant heavy rain

[Richard]

Heavy drizzle here this morning which is just typical,i turn the irrigation back on last night as the place really dried out after a few hot days.

[David]

Hmm, we had much less rain than I thought we would get here, only 16.6mm of gentle light rain

[NZstorm]

Still is a bit drizzly in Auckland.

Some cooler upper tomorrow(Monday) suggests isolated cb over the west of the North Island if sea breezes can get going.


Looks like an interesting polar trough later in the week. Could be a severe thunderstorm producer for somewhere in the country if it comes off. Something to watch out for.

One and off, little more low cloud about at the moment but blue sky also.

[Brassnz]

Only 35mm to 9am in Laingholm - a bit surprised, it felt like more than that.

[spwill]

I see Greylynn had 18mm. The weather is trying hard to clear here, a rather humid morning with some very light showers around,18C, dewpoint is 17C.

Another lovely summers day here. Loving it. Perfect for the cricket in Rangiora this afternoon.
