Yes, I think the 'general W'erly flow' over the last couple of weeks might be at an end now.

Down to 7.2°C here around 1am before the SSW breeze kept temps from falling further ... 8-9°C now
(a little winder and much warmer at Akld Aero though).

Hopefully the Low is far enough away to the east on Saturday to give Auckland a fine day in the SE flow otherwise plenty of fine weather over the weekend and early next week. Could have a cool cloudy NE flow here by Wendsday.

I find it hard to believe the temperature will drop to 4C overnight in Auckland. Definitely a cooler day though with 15C.

Shows some thunderstorm development east of the BOP tonight with the cooling upper level tempertures over warm sea.

I find it hard to believe the temperature will drop to 4C overnight in Auckland.
I see dewpoints at Wellington are only 2C so some very dry air is on the way but it looks like some cloud cover will move in.

It would seem the cold change hasn't gone through Auckland yet. The MS charts seem to suggest that there is a southeast push that is separate to the cold front, so maybe the real cold dry air never makes it to Auckland?

Lots of minuses in the South!

Knew it would get cold here with the drier air mass overnight - but didn't think this cold!!
Dipped to 1.2°C at 6:29am giving a very light frost coat in open patches of grass and on cars/roofs
Really surprised to see a little ice again, thought it was long gone :-o

Yes, it has been a rather sunny, cloudless WE, well September so far.
Some high clouds on the horizon to the west today though >_<

From -2.8ºC overnight here in Sth Waikato to 19.4ºC this afternoon (22.2ºC range) before a sudden SE breeze set in, dropping it like a stone from 3pm when it was still climbing... Lovely day though!

Just got back from 3 days in Auckland and it has to be the first time I've been there and actually missed seeing clouds! It felt more like Perth during a dry spell in winter with the blue dome skies and light wind conditions! Is that the first time Auckland has had a whole weekend with practically no clouds? :p :lol:

Yes another wall to wall blue sky day.16-17c.N.Z Herald says grass minima -3.Dont believe it got that cold as it was colder and frostier than that over the June/July period.Was a slight frost on sunday morning though at 2 in the morning it was showing as a heavy dew.
Easter 1992 was bluedome in Auckland for 4 days.We get weekends in march or april like this or occasionally in winter.
