Low early 2nd week of June
Just start a thread on this. I notice the dewpoints at Norfolk Island are 21C. This will be good fuel for the low as it moves onto northern NZ. Certainly will make the air unstable for a day or two.

And for much of NZ too! Single figure temps for many places south of BOP/Waikato at noon and 3pm; Waiouru on only 2C at 3pm, with 2mm in previous hour. (snow on Desert Road likely)Rain starting here now, 6:40am, and its cold...9.7°C, easterly wind...just as I predicted....its going to be a cold raw day for Auckland today!
Only got up to about 8C in Chch today; not much below normal, but alot lower what we've getting lately.

Certainly is cold out currently sitting on about 5C atleast with some very brief light showers off and on for much of the afternoon.
I would be keeping an eye on this Low North Islanders as it has some interesting potential going by what it has deliverd to much of NSW, Queensland coast.
Cheers

we only got to 12.2°C here today (i.e now, at 7pm, LOL)
Winter sure started with a jolt in June alright.
Seems there the temperature change across the fronts associated with the tasman low are ony gradual, i.e no real defined frontal boundary, and hence not alot of rain .....the potential you would think was there with this cold air here and the subtropical air mass that is there north of the NI...but the two airmasses have not been rubbing shoulders much and instead are just sliding past each other

Went over to Napier on Friday evening, sky clearing and a lovely drive over with a westerly tail wind. Sat dawned bright and clear but still a modest westerly breeze. Lovely day though Rain started today over there at about 10:30 am, just light rain but the temperature had dropped dramatically down to single figures. And wind had changed direction. Still very barren over there in HB. Grass will not grow below 10degC...
Sat pm dropped to 3.2deg back home in Tokoroa at midnight after the wind change to ESE at 20:00. Continued home today with light rain this evening after a high of 8.5deg and now both temp and baro dropping slowly... no rain last hr.
Yes there was snow falling on Desert Rd this afternoon -comment from traveller through Wairakei

Yes the shopkeepers in town had been enjoying the extra custom from the long Indian Summer... but all too aware of the "stock farmers" and their plight for lack of food supply. Consequently stock levels are being reduced for those worst hit. Hay is being collected and transported from Waikato and Taranaki, donated free, but HB farmers were paying for transport I believe.
