Re: General July Weather
well what a cold start it was this morning down here today.. brr -4 and my car had about cm of ice on the roof!! was freezing.
Probably the biggest frost we have had all winter in Christchurch.
Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow with this short sharp cold snap.
cheers

Odd.. Waiheke & Howick got iced up cars, yet nothing down this end of town bar cold feet on the lawn.

Re: Report your Frost, or (how low did you go 2009)
Yes, does sound odd, but other far E'ern sites like Eastern Beach and Botany Downs showed similar temps - probably much lighter winds / more sheltered.Dale Small wrote:Odd.. Waiheke & Howick got iced up cars, yet nothing down this end of town bar cold feet on the lawn.

1.2°C here at 7:30am this morn.

Re: Report your Frost, or (how low did you go 2009)
Yes Richard but as you will know rangiora can be a very frosty place and i find the winter min's to be about 2 deg colder than chch but on the other hand the highs in summer are about 2deg warmer, it tends to also get alot more NW winds blowing when chch or even kaiapoi doesnt- but bugger all storms is a down sideRichard wrote:gees that colder than here Melja,that's a surprise

Re: Report your Frost, or (how low did you go 2009)
It was just some light SSE breeze here in Grey Lynn between 2 and 6am that halted the rapid fall in temperature. Low here was 1.6°C so I imagine we would've easily reached 0 without that. Interesting to see the decent -ve temps there!
