-1 earlier here in ChCh city with ice on the car, now 2 degrees with a couple of light rain showers through. Looked like it might be a snow flurry for a minute!

Down to -3.5 Â°C at 07:49 this morning. A beautiful clear day now with a warm NW breeze. If it weren't for the last-gasp chill in the air you'd think it was summer.

Trademe forum poster reported flurries (not settling) at West Melton this morning. (John might me able to confirm) Latest radar still shows some shower activity in mid Canterbury. Just partly cloudy in central Chch - had a bit of precipitation overnight.

Cleared up nicely from the south now with baro reading 1037 and steady,I noticed a small dip about 3 hours ago in the pressure and then it started to rise again

.Current temprature is 1.0c and falling slowly, wind is a very light South Easterly,and most of the cloud is over the alps to the west.

Gary Roberts · Unread post by **Gary Roberts** » Tue 14/08/2007 22:09

Unless it clouds over, it's going to be a chilly one tonight. The temp's already down to -3.9 Â°C. Damn cool spring nights!

Sorry, is what working?

It's -4.6 Â°C in Omarama right now. Unless we get some cloud I'd say we're in for another chilly one. Curse this cool spring air!

What's wrong, John?

Curse this cool spring air!

Hey! Nights are still longer than days... therefore it's winter.

Manukau heads obs · Thu 16/08/2007 08:25

maybe he is refering to getting the degree symbol to show?

Curse this cool spring air!

its still winter Gary
Spring does not start until Setember, and some will say not until sep 21st

not sure why you think an intense sub antartic fueled high pressure cell is actualy cool spring air

Andy · Unread post by **Andy** » Thu 16/08/2007 08:27

-5 degrees, thick high cloud now, its going to be a cold day unless we get some wind.

Do you still get (literally) freezing days in August, Andy?

No frost in Chch this morning, thanks to the northeasterly and cloud (even a little drizzle last night about 10 or 11pm)

Not very often. Thank god.

Gary Roberts · Unread post by **Gary Roberts** » Thu 16/08/2007 10:20

Heh. To me, when it's hot and sunny, it's summer. When it's freezing and snowy, it's winter. If it's warm and not summer or winter, it's spring or autumn.

Interesting to note that the average August temp. in Alex is 2.5C higher than July's, with the mean daily max. difference being 3.5C. Both these numbers are the highest for NZ, at least of the ones that I've seen. In northern and western parts of the North Island particularly, not only is August not much warmer than July, in the far north it's slightly cooler than June. In Alex. and Cromwell records there is a big jump in sunshine from July to August - must be far fewer fogs in the latter. Decades ago we noticed that school holiday conditions in August, even at the start, were much pleasanter than July and could often feel springlike in the daytime.

its a wintry day up this way today
12oC strong cold NE wind (which originates as the cold southerly blast that the SI got the other day) and threatening to rain

spring is a long way off at the moment, but after this system goes through, its back to warmer W to NW winds by the looks
