This tasman low
I see a dominant center now NW of cape reinga
7hpa drop is pressure at the cape in the last 3 hours!
this low looks to me to be deepening very quickly
and its already raining in northland, quite heavily (8mm at brynderwyn), and the temperature in the waipu, brynderwyn area is only 9.8oc with heavy rain.
that is very cold for the middle of the afternoon for northland!!!

I always find it cold when theres rain around even in the summer with a crappy durnial range too
You'll find in one of these circulation lows that where the wind flow don't cross the ranges are always cold when persistant rains falling.
the map looks like it is (the low) is being blown apart by the jetstream?

yup, 9.6oC here now too,,,,and the barometer dropping steadily
it does not get much colder or more miserable that this in the winterless north!
at 3pm cape reings had a good ENE wind blowing and the barometer still falling qucikly !
the SWer on the other side could be stronger than forecast me thinks...

9C is quite a normal temperature during wind and rain in winter in Christchurch, though we haven't had many cold, wet days so far this winter. You'll probably feel jealous once you've heard about how lovely today has been in Christchurch today. We started with another frost, but it got up to about 13C this afternoon, with clear skies and not much wind. But we'll probably be paying for it tomorrow.More of a drizzly rain here now....a chilly 9.2C here. We are not use to wind and rain with such low temperatures in Auckland. Midday sounding shows the freezing level at 2000m, so surface temperatures misrepresent
the airmass over us abit.
