Cold weather to start off November

[Michael]

Even if it was a cyclone theyd still be letting them off,at least the rain will dampen the sparks
They will happen to wait till the next dry night to for their ra ra

Been raining and breezy and people still letting fireworks off in all directions.
Only a pathetic 2mm so far, hopefully there'll be a lot of rain tomorrow.

[Storm Struck]

Looks like this first front is a fizzer most of the showers have been staying south of Christchurch.
Should be some occasional showers from about after lunch tomorrow maybe some hail, but that should clear by after dark in time for the mixture of wonderful fire colour in the sky.
Cheers
Jason.

Im going for not to much rain out of this one at all, just cold and grey.
Not a drop over night here.

[David]

17.5C here this morning, skies are finally darkening after a lousy 5mm rain in total so far. Bring on some heavy rain today!

[Razor]

Well forgive me if I'm wrong ChCh folk, but there looks to be something brewing to the South right now?

[tich]

More frequent (rain) showers on BP this morning, with a fresh southerly.

It seems warmer than that here in the ChCh cbd. Up to 14 here now. Little or no wind so the sun feels nice. Little bit cloudy at times but certainly nothing to wrtie home about from here.

[Storm Struck]

Its swung around to a breezy NE here now with sunny skies but also a few bits of CU about.
Had some sporadic drops of rain near the port hills breifly at about 3pm, quite mild out too.
Cheers
Jason.

[gopolks]

Well here in CHCH, not one drop of rain, and the sun is out, but prime news has just told me, the showers will clear?

What happen to this cold front?

[tich]

I see a Thundery Cb popped up near Timaru briefly.

Cb's visible well offshore as I was coming back to Chch about 4.30pm. Rain showers and fine breaks earlier in afternoon on outer BP, but only scattered cloud around Chch.

Are those metservice guys even in this country i have never seen such wrong forcasting in ages!
still going for showers with hail and even a mod storm forcast.
Not one drop and mild in rangiora for the time of night.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Coming onto rain here at last. A bit of light rain mid-morning delivered a trace in the rain-gauge
What was this hail stuff forcasted ?
Probably better to be safe than sorry
Boring day weatherwize, considering the elements.

a trace in the rain-gauge

You're very happy about a trace of rain in the gauge? - and to think I was disappointed I only got 10mm in this latest system

Any irrigation from the sky will do, saves having to water our trees

Rather calm out with around 11C atleast, well it is calm now after the fireworks around the place.
New Brighton must have been cancelled as i couldnt see any big flashes in the sky nor no distant booms like I normally do.
Steady rain falling outside at the moment with some rather large drops, wind is still light NE.
Interesting too on the 10pm radar, not often you see that happen.
Cheers
Jason.

No it wasn't - Press showed photo and article this morning. People left pretty quickly after the last fireworks as the rain got heavier.

[Andrew Massie]

Yep, New Brighton happened.. I realised I should have angled my webcam at it, but forgot...

[Michael]

Really cold for November here,light Rain with 9° low this morning now only 11°

[Michael]

NZ Herald forecast quote today mainly fine apart from a few areas of afternoon cloud.light winds and sea breezes.
At least the light winds is correct!
