farmers rely on rain
we are still needing rain , in this area, we have just record another way below normal rain month, there has been only a few above normal rain months in the last year and half in the auckland area

rain gives life to this planet

if it was not for farmers, NZ would not be what it is today, as they are the biggest export earner

its no joke michael

I reckon there will be Snow down South on Sunday...

Just might turn wintry down there later next week.

Check out that active front of Cbs behind the warm front.. still lots of strikes being picked up from it.. could get interesting as it heads here

High cloud increasing now.. may get pretty windy this time next week with another deepening low sending a disturbed WSW flow over NZ

Geesh they have a rain radar on Norfolk Island and we don't even have enough of them to cover all of New Zealand!

Manukau heads obs · Sat 01/04/2006 19:04

big CB's to our NNW
showing on sat image

Storms up there are north of Norfolk Island.
Should be warm and muggy here tomorrow judging by Norfolk dp of 22C.

Weather prognoza says 26c tomorrow...yes if the NW flow comes in but if the warm front is over us it will be 19 air temp with the same dewpoint

Rain increasing now here.. looks like Auckland has had some decent falls.. Brain will be most happy.. are we going to hear thunder later?

This week's prognosis looks interesting!

(But probably not at all good for the Balloons over Waikato event next weekend.. lol

)

Manukau heads obs · Sun 02/04/2006 09:02

yes,10mm on top of what we got last sunday is really good

follow up rain like that is what is the key

eased somewhat here now
the big CB's to our NNW have moved SE , to be north of us?

this warm front is hard to see on the sat image, the scrappy high cloud blocks its view

barometer has not dropped.....much...
17oC here, so the warm front still to cross us

i see ricky got 18mm, more than us here...

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sun 02/04/2006 09:16

Been raining in Auckland all night. Radar indicates rain easing in Northland now.

Some strong cb's in western Tasman on satellite. Getting colder airflows into the Tasman now which means more interesting weather round the corner. Squally westerlies look likely to develop by the end of the week.

Michael · Unread post by **Michael** » Sun 02/04/2006 10:45

Its probably over us now as the winds are now variable

Yikes thats 959

if that stays much like that looking at that could be some severe winds there

but it is a wee way out yet.
Cloud is increasing here with lower level cloud being sucked into the upper level cloud so certainly some rain this afternoon.
16C very light NE.
Cheers
Jason.

Manukau heads obs · Sun 02/04/2006 11:19

beautiful rain here at the moment
17mm total so far

wow,thats one big low that could develop alright!

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sun 02/04/2006 11:23

26mm here in Grey Lynn. Drizzle at the moment. Dewpoint has risen to 18C which indicates warm front is thru here.

Manukau heads obs · Sun 02/04/2006 12:32

interestingly, because of the warm front slop, the rain radar signal is over shooting the rain we are getting here at the moment, which is much more than the rain radar shows

Storm Struck · Unread post by **Storm Struck** » Sun 02/04/2006 16:32

Raining here now light to moderate falls and fresh NE wind this despite MS saying it would be fine.

Only just 1.1mm so farr here's hoping for more to fall garden needs it.
Cheers
Jason.

I think the West Coast will get a few good thunderstorms over tonight and into tomoro. Along with a few other factors they also have the best cape I have seen them have in a while.
