Mostly dry Friday and Saturday, SW flow . Rain/showers developing over western areas Sunday into Monday.
A cooler change late Monday along the SouthIsland East coast with showers .

Ra de da weather by the sounds of it....Best to go east of the main ranges or BOP.

[Michael]

Metservice shows quite a positive forecast for N.Z over the long W/E with a few showers clearing in the north wheres ECMWF has us in for a Wild SW ride

Heres the map for sat.ecmwf

and metservice cant post it but its on their 7 day rain thing.
Can see the isobars is parallel to the SI on ecmwf.

[Michael]

ECMWF and Metservice seems to have a reasonably settled forecast now apart from cloudy preiods in the W,fortuately the awful pattern dominating the following week doesnt arrive till after the weekend.

Lots of 22-degree halos here today !

[NZstorm]

Looks like a bit of a soaking coming for the South Island Sunday pm into Monday while the North Island shouldn't get too much rain from this next system. Afternoon heating may trigger isolated thunderstorms over the inland North Island Monday afternoon along the weak frontal line. Waikato looks a likely spot for a buildup but will need to see how the moisture is on the day. Forecast dps are around 15C although moisture may come in too shallow for anything to fire.

[NZstorm]

Another fine day in Auckland with a max of about 18C.

Looks still to be a lowish thunderstorm risk there for the North Island from Northland down to about Waitomo tomorrow afternoon. There will need to be some good surface heating to get convection firing though, so hopefully not too much cloud cover ahead of the weak cold front due in the afternoon.

An uninteresting weather day looms for Canterbury tomorrow

Why is that John? yes looks to be bit f rain in the day tomorrow!! not that we need anymore rain for this month geeze, im hanging out for warm days and thunderstorms!

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Looks to be some good development happening on the rain band heading towards here. Looks like some heavy falls for Inland Canterbury on the cards and some brief heavy falls for the city. The gardens could do with a bit of a drink. Southerly is picking up strength in the last half hour or so.

[Storm Struck]

I see that a nice rain band is developing in south canterbury now, just forming inland to the west of Christchurch now so shouldnt be too far off.
No southerly here infact its NE at the moment.
Been up in Hanmer Springs for the weekend, nothing but sunshine .
Lots of welcome rain this week by the looks and a classic thunderstorm set up mid week with that cold blast.

[spwill]

Good holiday weekend weather here but overcast today with some rain/showers around this afternoon, currently 15C, dewpoint 15C.

[jamie]

its raining fog here. We are in the clouds.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Yes, I see that train band coming up now. Today I finished off the mowing and gorse clean-up, so it can rain for whatever now
