General July Weather

[tich]

Rather cold, bleak day in Chch today, but despite the forecast of rain and drizzle, it's been dry (in the central city at least) and the cloud's thinned out somewhat this afternoon.

I have started to read this thread again, : http://www.weatherforum.org.nz/phpBB3/v ... f=2&t=3942

To compensate for the lack of thunder this winter, LOL

But anyway just re-reading it is getting me excited for this comming spring and summer

[David]

Reached 16C here today in the sunnier intervals amongst the brief showers. Nice to be able to open the windows and let fresh air in without being cold

[jamie]

Hamilton weather will be down as of today for probably most of this week, taking parts into Davis to fix the faults.

[tich]

It's not visible in the radar, nor has it been forecast (was supposed to have finished this morning), but there's been persistent drizzle for most of the afternoon out around Akaroa.

Noticed a persistent cloud cover over BP, Ben, today.
Nice and sunny here today after a slight frost this morning. Some unstable Cu forms too, as a very weak convergence moved through around noon.
Gradually clouding over this afternoon.

I see M/S have put the snow icon on CHCH for next SUN night/Monday...a week out, still, but I see the Blue Skies have had it on the cards (snow to low levels, mind you) for a few days now...will be neat to watch over the next week!

EDIT: ...and now they have changed it...great

[Dale]

Should have put it up here for AKL.. bloomin cold out this morning!

[Michael]

Drizzling now wonderful weather.

[Vertigo]

raining steadily and moderately, yes, but hardly showing on the radar.. how odd!

[Richard]

Just had a day of NW winds here today,man it was nice to have a mild dry wind if only for a day,shes all down hill for here in

Yes there was some proper rain at uni in the city today, I notice barely any of it made it across to the east though

[snowstormwatcher]

Mild here this afternoon high of 14 degrees. Frosty this morning overnight low of -3.5.

[David]

Have been able to smelt salt in the air 2 mornings in a row here - a bit unusual. But very nice, it smells like the beach!

[Michael]

Theres some real punch in the sunshine today as compared to the sunny period a week or so ago,stunner with no wind.

[spwill]

A 17C day in July is always good .

[Richard]

Luckily the cloud hung about overnight so it kept the frost away,hopefully like Saturday the cloud brakes and we sun some sun again today.

[Manukau heads obs]

picking up strikes from an active CB to my WNW on the approaching trough line...

[NZstorm]

Those showers will weaken as they hit the cooler land.

[melja]

Wee bit of light rain here again this morning so looks like it will be slow to clear if at all

[Michael]

If it was summer something would happen though we dont really get troughs like that in summer,often "flattens out" as a SW flow instead probably the reason we dont get summer events like we see in winter????

Those showers will weaken as they hit the cooler land.

just an edit maybe is the same reason the bay of plenty tend to get them in summer the warm air regenerates them as the setup is in place,someone can enlighten.

Yes some showers coming through the area at the moment. Looking at radar more on the radar than i thought the front would bring but the majority looks to clip BP and move away to the NE

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Thats rather big, something to keep an eye on for next Sunday. Ofcourse will probably change but anyhow will be interesting to watch the progress of it.

Only a few light spits late morning out on west side of Akaroa Harbour - looks like more affecting the outer edge of the peninsula and offshore.
