What a warm northerly
Temp was hovering between 15 and 16 since about 11 this morning, and still at 16° at 15:20, then a gusty warm wind arrived and 30 minutes later its 22.4°! Six degrees in 30 minutes!

Yes Steven,Ive been noticing that too and not sure why the potential inaccuracy is occuring as the minimums during the winter seem quite extreme as well
Momona Airport is about 40kms from the central city and is on the Taieri Plains...It can have dramatic weather events like anywhere else but the temperatures do seem a little exaggerated

I would have thought that all AWS's at airports would be placed pretty much the same everywhere. From what I have observed over the years it seems Dunedin airport is normally a few degrees warmer than Dunedin city on the mild/warmer days and the opposite when it's cold.NZstorm wrote:I was at Dunedin Aiport late last week. I should have had a nosy at the AWS location.
I hope NIWA aren't using those readings scientificly.
Today was a rather warm day, especially inland, so it wouldn't cross my mind to query the 25°

Christchurch weather was pretty dull today.
Had abit of rain this morning, clearing up by 11am not only to be follwoed by drizzle. Witch of course puts a toll on things when your working outside Not too sure what the temp was today.
But i am hoping that it will be abit more warmer again tomorrow and just that we bit more brighter but of course Any storms would gladly accept!
cheers

Little rain in Chch according to Hillmorton obs, but more rain out on Banks Peninsula - I'd guess about 5 or 6mm up to 11am, when I left to return to Chch. And certainly alot cooler than it has been in recent days.Christchurch weather was pretty dull today.
