Yes, Brian, it may be interesting to see what spring may bring us
Could be a very NW period in October.
Very wet in western regions. Thunder in the north
I hope so as with a predominant NW flow it should be mainly dry here in Canterbury when our house is moved out to West Melton
I say there will be the occasional cold snaps which should enhance thunder outbreaks here in Canterbury if the NE onshore kicks in.

Yes perhaps a wamer than normal summer here is hoping also plenty of storms .
This wekend could be a mild one especially Sunday some places might get into the early 20's especially areas inland .
I am confident on this storm season being a good one don't know why perhaps it's the previous weather we have had .
Cheers
Jason.

At this stage the Aug-Oct from NIWA is still going for weakened westerly flows - but then they don't seem to have done very well on the winter forecast so far.NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote:Yes, Brian, it may be interesting to see what spring may bring us

Fantastic isnt it? Lots of bulidings all radiating heat, lots of cars nearby, c'mon residents of Oamaru, do your bit for the town and rev your engine really hard when you go past the weather station. I wonder if the council can set up a few strategically placed mirrors to reflect onto the new weather station at midday and 3pm, that should increase the radiation on the temp sensor. Why stop at wanting to have the wamest temperature in New Zealand, take on the world by installing a permanently boiling jug of water right under the weather station, whats that, you didnt know Oamaru had thermal springs? Why of course.Foggy Hamilton wrote:Looks like the new Oamaru station is doing it's thing for the council there..
