I like this from MetService's short weather forecast for tomorrow for Canterbury and Otago:
Canterbury and Otago
Mainly fine weather. However, watch out for isolated showers and the odd thunderstorm, about midday or in the afternoon, south of Banks Peninsula.
I hope the NZTS members are out in force ... watching!
...or better still, why don't they say . "Have cameras ready etc" !!!
Today was an interesting day. I recorded a miminum of 20C here overnight and was quite surprised to get my readings at 9am to find that the temperature in my screen was 29C.
It peaked at 31.4C for today.
Apparently it became very windy here later on.
I wasn't here as we had a morris dancing engagement at the Lily Day the home of Sir John and Lady Ackland at Mt Peel in south Canterbury.
It was windy there as well and warm. I took my video camera with me just incase but it was basically a 'blue-dome day' even with the southerly during the afternoon so no thunderstorm activity looked likely.
It was sort of more sea-breeze-ish the southerly driving back to Christchurch.
Anyway I'll 'watch out for odd showers and the isolated thunderstorm" for tomorrow and report back tomorrow night
