General November Weather

[spwill]

Looks like ground frosts this morning in the inland South Island and central NI going by some of the temps. 0C at Taupo and Omarama.

That cold air not reaching Auckland with 13C dewpoints here, currently partly cloudy 18C.

[Manukau heads obs]

some nice CU building up to my NE at times as the day warms up
very nice to have a break from the SWer

[Michael]

Interesting clouds above,upper level in a southerly,low level from the north,looks strange to see them in opposite directions.

I think Andrew wouldnt mind a thunderstorm on his wedding day! although then you would be gutted you cant go chasing Andrew!

But congrats mate, hope all does go well on your special day! good stuff!!
A little bit on the cool side here in Christchurch today, temperature not really feeling that warm at all.
Another cool day tomorrow with cold S blowing through and maybe few showers.

[Storm Struck]

Really it was warm out in North Canterbury today, i found the NE breeze to be less cool too.
Ive found that often christchurch is alot cooler under a NE even in summer, i am just as close to the sea as Christchurch is etc.
Again some mid level CU about this evening from a lower level trough flicking the coast.
This next front will have more impact than Mondays one which barly dribbled 1mm, but a brief smattering of showers around 6-10am then it should be all clearing again.

[DT-NZ]

A cool morning currently 9.2 C out - no wind and clear skies... looking to be another beautiful day.

[Nev]

- no wind and clear skies... looking to be another beautiful day.

Not for long methinks.

[Manukau heads obs]

there is a rule
when the wind drops fast like it did yesterday and the weather clears up quick to be a nice day, like yesterday, all of a sudden, then it wont last
back to anticlyclonic gloom onshore cool SW winds here

[Michael]

Hope not too long,theres a shallow depression in the tasman forecasted next week?

[jamie]

im sick of this crappy weather. I would rather cloudless windless days all summer than this crap we keep getting. Hopefull this cycle breaks shortly. Yesterday was nice in that it was cloudless and windless until the evening (hamilton).

[Manukau heads obs]

just in from Milking the cows in the cold wind and cloudy skies huh?
LOL

we might get this sort of weather right up to xmas/new year unfortunatly

[spwill]

Yes, cooler air onto Auckland today, dewpoints below 10C, current temp 14C.
ECMWF shows an end to this general current cool/cold flow over NZ later next week. Upper level High over southern Australia on the move then , hopefully.

[NZstorm]

Experience tells us that these El Nino SW patterns last till Xmas. Looks like there maybe a bit of a decent trough early next week which will break the monotony of the stable S'Westers.

[Michael]

Theres been little rain from the fronts too,just wet the ground its it.the familar roar of the trees is back again since 4pm.

[Storm Struck]

Not much with this change either enough to just create a slightly damp ground when i woke up at 7am, but nothing great.
However when i was In Rangiora this morning it came onto heavy rain for abit, it seems the shower activity was better inland.
Also had a shower around 2pm which developed as it went over and chucked down a few tiny hailstones.
Fridays front presents a very slight thunderstorm risk provided the NE can get up good before roughly midday, other then that we still sit on the knifes edge waiting for that first proper thunderstorm of the coming season.

[snowstormwatcher]

southerly change this morning brought 6.5mm of rain first rainfall for the month

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

1.5mm here this morning. So totalof 1.5mm for November so far. Looks like 3 or 4 warm days from Saturday afternoon onwards with NW prevailing. Yay! Looks like a pattern change occurring too with some runs picking up a bit of a subtropical low to hit parts of the North Island next Tuesday or so. Hopefully Sunday to Tuesday see's temps in the mid 20's. Possibly late 20's for some isolated areas.

[Manukau heads obs]

another temporary repreive today in the upper NI, SE winds here today and the sun is out
a bit of de ja vu!

[Michael]

The SW winds wernt as strong as expected here perhaps because the lack of daylight heating,it always Increases them,Unfortunately I reckon this summer will be riddled with them because in summer we never get these southely troughs with cooler weather like we can in winter and the coolness of the country overall has to disappear before real summer even kicks in.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Beautiful morning here. 16 degrees and dead still. Hardly a cloud in the sky. The forecast high of 15 was always going to be passed. It is now ammended to 16 but more like 20 today, long as the NE doesnt get too fresh too soon. Sat onwards 22, 23, 22 respectively. Tuesday shows a rapid deepening low hitting the south island now, west coast with the bulk, some brief heavy falls possible with the winds tending S for the east, one to keep an eye on.

[Tornado Tim]

Very Low RH here on 27%!
DP dipped to 1°C

[jamie]

yea very DRY air isnt it Tim. Dont often see it this dry in the waikato.

Its a long way out but the models are starting to show some more interesting weather for next week. hopfully they stay some what true and this horrible SW crap is pushed away.

[fairskies]

Mm, Global warming my ar..
Show me evidence of it and I'll show you a cold summers day.

Cheers.

I think November won't end up too much cooler than normal for Auckland as we typically experience onshore SW winds in November anyway. Our mins are tracking about average, maximums a bit below. Sunshine should be well down though.
