As if terrorist bombings aren't enough, they've now got tornadoes as well

A trough of cold upper air is going to pass over the South Island tomorrow. If it were summer I'd be saying thunderstorms tomorrow but scene as it's winter it's only a slim chance. It the temp get's to 14/15 and the depoint is at 7 then it's all on! I think....

Too right Gary, we need a storm! Or something!

Cheers

Yes, not that interesting at the moment. Spring is the most interesting season though, so weather should improve (get worse)

$\:D/$

Saw that tornado in the UK on TV1 news.

Yes John, I saw some cirrus today while sitting in the office out of the corner of my eye. Didn't get out though to 'take it all in'.

Now that's some damage!

Well there will be lots of hot air from some politicians over the next 7 weeks

If the Weather watching is bad there's always Bird watching.

Had noisy Rosellas in my garden again today.

I'd vote labour if it weren't for ageist pointless laws

okay, due to the lack of interesting weather currently, this forum is now "The New Zealand Bird Watchers Forum" for the weekend.

Weather will hopefully return early next week with that small low.

Its probably better the devil you know rather than back to privatisation,80% of the population is worse off,assett stripping like the late 80's early 90's,non unionised work force and mortgage rate increases if we remember 21%

Looks like we will come in just under the long term average. Certainly been mild. The last two winters have seen cold Julys, so we were due for a milder one.

Whats all this about voting 'Communist Labour' and the 'Hippie Greens'??

Both those parties favour New Zealand paying hundreds of millions of dollars to eastern Europe under the Kyoto agreement. Start saving now!

Weather will hopefully return early next week with that small low

There is a pool of unstable weather set to cross the country over the next few days starting tomorrow. My only concern is a lack of moisture to make any storms interesting. But upper air will be cold with unstable lapse rates.

Manukau heads obs · Sat 30/07/2005 16:12

really?
i thought we would have been up on sunshine...
but there was a period of 4 days or so with rain and overcast i guess...in the first week

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Sat 30/07/2005 17:53

With the upcoming elections, I'm going to vote for the party that comes up with the best weather, ie:: will we get more thunderstorms under National than Labour and will the Greens do anything about the surpluss of thunderstorms to the upperNI area???
What are the different parties weather policies???
