Seems we are heading into a brief period of severe frosts. So how cold is at your place during the next few mornigs.

Down the bay...-.06.

That is cold Janos!

We have -4.8 in the northern outskirts of Christchurch and a 7.5 degree frost but at least at sunny day is ahead.

Driving in this morning 1 black 4wd hi lux sadly being extracted from the harbour....4th vehicle this week alone and Andersons bay inlet was partially frozen over.

Went down to a chilly 5C here now 10C, cloudy light SouthWesterly.

Not too cold to go down Queen Street nude on the back of a Motarbike

I would think the colder the better

Lovely day here

Well said Razor!

Is it the heavist frost in Christchurch this winter? Some reports of an 8 or 9 degree frost in some areas.

So much ice about and I see some snow remaining on the hill suburbs and other areas of the Port Hills too. Looks good behind glass!

The weekend not looking quite so sunny and frosty though...

Two vehicles ended up in the harbour this morning. Sadly its a one way trip normally for vehicles.
A colleague who cycled in said there was formed ice on the harbour in sheltered places.
Its a cold one when salt water freezes.

Got down to -3 here.

Well it got down to 3 here before dawn, even though it counts as a wet night (4mm overnight).

Nah hes not naughty the spellings perfect.
This morning the temp was -.06 (at my weather station) but it must have been much colder for the salt water
to freeze in the harbour.

8.48pm here in Christchurch and we are already below 0! -0.2 degrees

Good to see you there with a posting, Janos
It was minus 3.4ºc here in West Melton, this morning, with a possibility of a nearly 7ºC frost on the ground. I did have a grass thermometer but a horse galloped over it and broke it.
I usually add about 3 to 4 degrees to the screen minimum for a grass reading.

At Tawa we had our coldest temperature for the year this morning, reaching 0.4 ºC at 05:19.
It was colder on the valley floor where they had a crispier start to the day.

got down to about 7C the other night here. no where near as cold as the last very cold event.

This mornings frost was a doozy.

My 24hr FARS temperature sensor and Stevenson Screen temp sensors both reported a record low for the Pinehaven Station of -1.8C on the 21st August. It was -2.0 to -2.5C lower down the in the valley towards Silverstream I believe. Pretty cold for Upper Hutt, (especially at our elevation) although not really comaprable with lows in the Deep South!

Not cold at all here. Would be the warmest day of the winter so far . Nice little cu that look like the ones you see in summer. Sun has a good bite to it and the wind isnt cold. Even when the sun dips behind the clouds it isnt cold. Im very comfortable in tshirt and stubies. very nice day. makes me realise how much i have missed nice days like this with the run of wild weather we have had.

nice warm nw wind here looks like it could get cold later on i can sense some rain moving in

Hey Everyone, not cold at all here either. Infact it is the warmest its been for well over a month, maybe even 2 months. Its 12:27 and we are sitting on 18.5 degrees here atm with very gentle NW and fine weathwe with some high cloud around.

Nah, that honour would undoubtedly belong to July 19th, with Akld T-maxs around 19°C.
And the highest T-min would probably have been June 15-16th, with temps around 15°C.

"Stubbies" Don't tell me they're making a comeback! 8o

Average max temp in August for AK is 15C but temps here seldom stray very far from the average.

EC moves a High slowly from the South Tasman to the south east of the SI next week, the like's of Gisborne might be in for a long spell of cloud, rain/showers.

20deg in Napier today...wow.

ZB says 12° in the city,its only 6 tmin currently 8° What a big difference though it doesnt feel cold though.
