Cold June?
After a warm, dry May, the last month of Autumn, will June be slightly colder,wetter?
The first proper wintry break looks set from about the middle of next week with lower pressures over the country.
Will it last?

I reckon! The cold snap is looking to be a nasty one, too...NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote:After a warm, dry May, the last month of Autumn, will June be slightly colder,wetter?

Last year the June 12th snowstorm formed when a moist deepening low came down from the N-NW and collided with a colder front moving up the east coast. Next week would be a more typical cold blast so if snow was to lower to rather low levels places like Dunedin,Southland which havnt had that many decent falls in the last 3-4 years could well see it in such a icy flow straight from the caps.
Not saying that it would happen but it's a more common situation for those places mentioned above.
Does look like being a bitter one even though it is next week and models can and will change hopefully for our good sakes .
This weknds wee splash of rain may be the start to get out of this warm dry period.
Cheers

19.7°C here today but from the middle of next week things will change.
I have a zero chance of thunderstorms tommorrow night/late afternoon when the southerly hits, this depending on the NE beforehand
If I was in Wellington there would be a 87% chance of a thunderstorm occuring over Canterbury, but I'm not there, so the chance is 1% of a thunderstorm occuring

Yes I too noticed that CB off the coast but at around about 2pm and was still structured looking in the same spot by 5pm.
No precipitation here yet with the southerly apart from a few spots before, but interesting enough the latest rain radar indicates heavy falls of rain north of here .

Yes, finally we are getting some wet stuff here, after nearly 4 weeks without any. Only 7mm in May and nearly all of that fell in the first few days. We had plants wilting here in the last few days, the same way they do in mid summer if you dont irrigate, yet at the same time we have a cherry in flower! Poor thing, totally confused by the season. As am I!

Yes, a bit of drizzle here tonight,Tony, the first bit of moisture from the skies since May the 11th. I have been watering plants as wellTonyT wrote:Yes, finally we are getting some wet stuff here, after nearly 4 weeks without any. Only 7mm in May and nearly all of that fell in the first few days.

You get the impression looking at the 12Z ECMRF that we are in for a much colder spell of weather this week. Should be good for the countrys ski industry and snow looks possible to sea level in Southland/Fiordland by the end of the week. Yes, so maybe a another very cold June ahead.

Mid North Island had a good dumping yesterday - 56.5mm recorded here in Tokoroa that was from 5am through to 15.30. A beautiful sunny day has dawned here, just some low mist which has lifted. I need to keep the heater on longer now for the webcam - a 100W cupboard heater - with a 24hr timer switch. Even the outside of the attic window gets misted up without it!

The rain from this system would've varied throughout Canterbury - Banks Peninsula had light rain overnight, while Chch obviously got little (0.6mm at Hillmorton). Must've been alot more precipitation in the mid Canterbury foothills for Mt Hutt to get 25cm snow, albeit only above about 1000m.Well they got CHCH wrong, again, we were suppose to have showers overnight and in the morning, and I wake up to a beautiful fine day, maybe a little bit coller than it has been though.

Woke up this morning to dry grounds and cool fresh SW wind pity although this week aheads weather should prove interesting.
It now looks like snow to even lower levels on Thursday night so places inland etc may well get some flurries also I would imagine sleet to sea level perhaps but of corse it is a wee way out still yet even though the models are improving again .
I see another cold blast follows in behind on Saturday with more snow to low levels, lets hope for our's and skier's sakes it comes to something.
But obviously not so for farmers who may well have crops or have to cover fruit production etc.
Atleast queens birthday is going to be a nice day across most of NZ.
Cheers

Yes it looked a good frost in North East Valley from up here. Airport read -4°
There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.
