General May Weather

[Michael]

We dont get much in SW flows as a matter of fact,its westerlies or the change from NE to NW/W or a vigourous front for action.

[spwill]

Several SW flow days coming up. Michael, can you keep your SW flow comments to your own thread , unless you have something new to say.

Light winds here, sunshine/cloud mix, isolated showers over the region, mild 15C currently

[Manukau heads obs]

we got one of those heavy showers in that convergence shower line last last
(convergence between the SSW flowing around the low to the east and the more general SW flow moving in)

[Richard]

After a thick fog a NW wind has come up,nice day coming up after an over night low of 2deg

[Michael]

Sorry just usual rant,am trying best to keep it on topic,and confine to the "my SW topic"Still I enjoy some exciting weather too.anyway I reckon it be a mild wet windy winter rather than a snowy one even in the east though southland probably be snowy under W regimes.

uuufff young age,I was collecting weather maps way before, when you never knew what a low was

[Orion]

Was in Ashburton mid-morning; breeze there seemed to be southerly and smelled of the sea.
Cloud thickening and lowering here at Mayfield now, breeze from the SW.
13.9 degrees.

[Orion]

And now moderate southerly breeze, raining quite noisily; 10.6 degrees.

And now moderate southerly breeze, raining quite noisily; 10.6 degrees.

Yes some nice heavy spill over stuff from the coast showing great on the radar at the moment. Brief heavy spell of rain on the cards for inland South Canterbury.

High cloud has thickened again here and sitting on 17 degrees with a very light northerly to no wind at all.

[NZstorm]

A few days out but the trough due late Sunday could be thundery in the north. Its a weak system but the upper air is cold (500mb-23C) and there will be some moisture (dp12-13C).

[David]

Chilly 5.7°C here this morning, quite a contrast to 13.4°C at Auckland airport!

[Manukau heads obs]

14C here and a strong SW wind

[Richard]

Been a rather breezy NW to NNW most of the day,be nice if it kept up all night that way keep away the frost

[spwill]

The big Cbs gone from our skies today but one or two brief showers mostly late morning otherwise long fine spells, fresh SW breeze, max 17C.
