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 side

I know what ya saying Melja,i was born and bred in Rangiora,but Rangiora is not as frosty as woodend or Waikuku ,as the cold air falls off the plains and is trapped against the warmer air over the seas in Pegasus Bay

Should be freezing tonight, not even 8pm and already 3.4Â°C! Car will be starting to freeze soon

It has 0.0Â°C here, I suppose the grass is already at -1Â°C or lower.

-1.5 here...and falling fast. I expect -4 or so by dawn...
The Metservice is waaaaay out tonight with a forecast min of +2

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Mon 27/07/2009 07:03

I heard on the radio yesterday that they where saying +2 and thinking "hopeless"but then Jim on TV1 said -2 which i thought was about right.

6.30am and its -6 here

melja · Unread post by **melja** » Mon 27/07/2009 07:06

Only -1 here today with a very light wind.

tgsnoopy · Unread post by **tgsnoopy** » Mon 27/07/2009 07:08

Only about 0.3Â°C here this morning, coldest I've noticed this year. It sure was hard getting out of bed this morning.

Dale · Unread post by **Dale** » Mon 27/07/2009 07:46

A shade over zero this end of town.. iced over cars but nothing extreme, not even really a grass frost to speak of.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Mon 27/07/2009 07:59

0.4Â°C here at 7:30am (3Â°C at Akld Aero).

Looks like July for Akld will be another cool month, although not by any significant amount.
Rain about normal, but again, no lack of sunshine.

Looks like a run of milder weather is about to start

goodbye frosts (for Auckland)

-2.7Â°C the low, a nice frost.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 27/07/2009 10:05

yes, -1.0 C so far compared to my normal for last 8 years, so far for July (was only -0.7 before this last run of cold temperatures)

Again Nev, exactly the same here (the low, not the time)

-4.8 this morning, 3rd good frost in a row.

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Mon 27/07/2009 18:30

Down to minus 2.6C in the screen, possibly minus

6C on the grass judging by the whiteness around the place.

2C for chch tonight, yeah right as my truck is covered in frost now and its only 7pm.

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Tue 28/07/2009 07:10

I knew Metservice was exaggerating when they predicted -3Â°C here.
The Ham AWS is only on -1Â°C and My low was only -1.2Â°C.
Predicted Low here was only -1Â°C.
A whole back of alto stratus has moved on through, hindering the process of making a cold temp possible, Damb!
But I have to say, You can get quite sick of defrosting the car all time, LOL

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Tue 28/07/2009 07:23

-4 here ,a light frost for a change, which will be last for some time by the look of it

tgsnoopy · Unread post by **tgsnoopy** » Tue 28/07/2009 10:34

0.1Â°C this morning at 6.20 when I got up. That's a calibrated thermometer reading this time. Brr for here.

No frost in central Chch this morning, though apparently the Airport recorded one.
Certainly alot warmer than this day 60 years ago (July 1939), when light snow fell in downtown Auckland. (according to note for 28th on my MetService calendar)

i have that exact same calander tich

Its nice to look back and read some of the wild, wicked weather that has happened over the years.
One day of witch is my birthday the "19th" December where according to MS calendar there was a superstorm witch brought a destructive tornado that went through Amberly and large hail.

On topic: yes, yesterday morning it really was not cold for chch but i was working in Rangiora, and was much colder out that way then chch in the morning!!
