Interesting about the lightning thingy in Wellington.
Its been a wee bit cold today here, had the S Breeze come through most of today and we might get a few showers tonight but I think they may have gone out to sea already.

btw is it just me or is CRT not forcasting at the moment?

Yes CRT seems to be not updated at the moment but try fencepost, i also notice MSLP isnt working either.
A nice day after some breif early morning light rain spillover from the west, followed by some nice forms of CU

.
Day warmed up very nicly I would say around 14-15C quite mild for a cool southerly.
Cheers
Jason.

Christchurch Airport recorded 9C. 850mb temp 0C. You would need the NW effect to get those temps Jason.

A disappionting day for convection over Auckland today. Poor instability led to just a few junky cb's. Air is quite dry tonight with dewpoint now 8C. Some good speed wind shear there though.

A nice looking cold pool out to the west of the South Island tonight.

Only got to 9.5C here. 14 - 15C would be rather unlikely.

...about the same here. It was nice in the sun in a sheltered area but cool out in the middle of the paddock. Only 9.5ÂºC here.

Hopefully we get all this done in the traditional months August and September as it looks as theres no respite and hopefully but wouldnt bet on it settled weather after Labour weekend like it used to be

Yes it was lovely on our front verandah early this afternoon in the sun

....but when mucking out a short while later it was much cooler in the sun although it was warm on my back as I bent over shovelling up the horseshit

Sudden heavy hail here.. One lightening and thunder...

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Tue 07/08/2007 00:20

Gonna be another good day! cool air coming over at the right time of day... -29C @ 500mb

, lifted index -2C.. and upper level winds dying down a bit, W just 30 knots @ 500mb and 15 knots at the surface. Could bode well for potential afternoon heating then with the relatively light winds.

Come to papa!

heaps of CB's heading for the NI !!!
and they are intensifying too by the looks

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Tue 07/08/2007 08:45

Thunder here now from a big Cb just out to the west.

ricky · Unread post by **ricky** » Tue 07/08/2007 09:18

And hail here in Grey Lynn 3~4mm size.. not surprised with how cold the cloud was looking up there this morning

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Tue 07/08/2007 09:56

These Cb's coming in from the NW are all pretty fresh and unorganised coupled with strong shear along the tops... might have to wait for the more matured Cb's currently hitting Taranaki.

There's also quite a bit of stratus about this morning, but hopefully that'll burn off by lunch time. 9C/dewpoint 8C here now with not much wind.

"Buster" just arrived, but rather tame, just some attractive clouds and a few spots so far.

Just 1 shower in central Chch this morning. Still some cloud about, but sunny now.

Weve had lots of Rain here but hasnt been that windy because its W or NW not SW but I think its not far now

Manukau heads obs · Tue 07/08/2007 14:13

Mt Wellington area looks to be getting reall dumped on at the moment by a big CB (lots of mama cloud on the anvil viewable from this side)
