Wild End to June with an Easterly Low

[Dale]

It's cactus now the fog thing, a slight southerly has come through.. interesting to find if its the 'bombays' effect or something else.. wont go into major details with issues regarding obs radar images satt images etc..
Feels like just back home in Brisbane South!

[Vertigo]

the rain band has dissipated over northland, and is now stronger off to the east. looks like its blowing the fog away too

in the tasman, the low appears to be taking shape now. i see a nice arm and some rotation.

[DT-NZ]

Thank you Vertigo the rain moderate to heavy at times, stopped shortly after 8pm and there's only a light breeze out ( in this area that is ) - next high tide for Mangonui 12:08 AM 2.8 m.

Rain amount - 22mm of rain from 18.00 - 20:00hrs this evening, take care.

[David]

Yeah what happened to the "late rain" that was forecast?
Light wind of about 7kph gusts 13kph has gotten rid of the fog that re-developed here earlier this evening.

[Manukau heads obs]

I would say that was yesterday's front that got re energised again
the main rain bands are still to arrive/develop

[Manukau heads obs]

steady rain here now
lots of widespread rain filling in on the rain radar now!

[DT-NZ]

Currently 15.2 °C - light rain amount 3mm from 20:00hrs (last evening) to 08.00am (this morning) - light NE wind - next high tide for Mangonui 12:34 PM 2.6 m.

[Manukau heads obs]

looking like the low is going to track further north, center passing to the north of NI, going by the sat animation
yes?

[Razor]

That will be why its clear, sunny and extremely frosty here in ChCh- cancel the forecast drizzle for us today I think- a mainly sunny day coming here

[spwill]

At 9am Whangarei 16C , Chch -3C.

[Vertigo]

some VERY cold cloud tops up there above auckland right now, in excess of -60C

[NZstorm]

The warm sector of this system is a little bit unstable with dewpoints of 16-17C. Forecast Lifted Index values for 9pm today as per gfs18Z run.

[Manukau heads obs]

wind picking up here now
I see a new low /trough developing to the SE of the original, where the jetstream is strongest/at the point where it curves...as the models have indicated
looking impressive on the sat image this system, despite not too much rain yet

[Dale]

Good enough rain here, putting water into my tanks. All the indoor plants are out having a drink, couldnt do it before because of a long sustained wind blast (of around 30 mins to an hour) came through here and literally blew over the outdoor setting clean across the yard, only thing stopping it from going further was the fence along the old milk truck turnaround.

Lazy sunday..

[GraemeWi]

The pressure is really dropping here, currently 994.8, was 1000.8 at 10am. Steady rain since I woke up!

Yes, The pressure here is dropping by 2.2 mb/hr

[Manukau heads obs]

now its raining properly, LOL

[Vertigo]

funny - its all but stopped over this side!

[Manukau heads obs]

yup, looks like its about to stop here soon according to the rain radar
with a more northerly and warmer wind change coming (18C at kerikeri at the moment!)
15mm since it started raining this morning, with heavy rain over the last hour

[Nev]

Pressure in Auckland at 9pm last night was 1010 hPa. If it drops to 986 hPa by 9pm tonight, then technically we have a 'weather-bomb'.

[Dale]

Bomb of some sorts here.. wind is howling through with trees bending right down. Some small branch damage.

[spwill]

We had about an hour of heavy rain here mid afternoon otherwise mostly just light rain/showers. Warm rain, currently 15C dewpoint 13C.

[Lawrence]

Feels like it might snow here in the next few hours.Strange

[Myself]

What exactly does "feels like snow" mean?

[Dale]

Kind of like here in Pukke.. cold and wet.
