Must be colder in the last hour here anyway than 10c stated on the radio,fog here quite thick like saturday plus windows condensated to hell all happened since 6am.

Morning,

Beautiful day out there here in this part of the country at the moment - blue skies and sunshine, currently 9 C out. Over this past week we have had tui's and silvereyes visit our garden and tree's around here - there presence has been most welcomed.

[Dale]

Certainly a chilly start to July, nothing on last year though.
08/08 at the airport & not much better up here on the hill but at least the suns out which is a bonus, might be able to get some lawns done later once everything dries out!

Top pic DT.. I miss the sound of the kookaburra's from back in Brisbane so the little kingfishers that visit here occasionally, bring a smile to my face

[Michael]

3c tonight on the cards?

[Dale]

Cold enough out there this morning & a very impressive fog.. almost looks like someone raided the paint factory & poured buckets of white into all the gullys below me.

[Nev]

Yes, still a little fog lurking in the valleys here also - was down to 5.2C.

[Richard]

A NW wind came up around mid day and pushed the high to 16C,great day for drying clothes

[snowstormwatcher]

Had the northwesterly here as well. High of 15 degrees.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Not much wind all day but a NW drift in the afternoon and evening. Lovely day but cooling off again this evening so another frost likely overnight.

Clear skies = photo session tonight!

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

With the clear skies over Canterbury over the first 4 days of this month and not much wind, you would think that we have a huge fat high over us, but we haven't.
Isn't that amazing?

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

The high to the south looks as if it is going to be too strong and is going to limit any rain to minimal for Tuesday to Thursday with perhaps some more beafier showers Friday. GFS shows very little now. Latest run still shows the subtropical low end of next weekend affecting NE areas of the north island but the bulk out to the NE of the NI. Should this change somewhat further W then it could be even more significant than this one as the intensity looks even greater. Cloudier skies today here in Christchurch with a fresh NE. A more typical day for this part of the woods.

[melja]

Another stunning day here north of chch with a -0.7 frost and more fine sunny weather.
You guys in chch need to move that dam hill behind you

Hey cant complain I guess after the last 4 or 5 days.

Some agreement now with ECMWF and GFS on yet another sub tropical Low preasure system and wet easterlies next week, has been the winter of the northern low.

[Michael]

Theyre not very inspirational lows,just cold backend rain and wind,no thunder or lightning.a good time to go to Wanganui for a weekend i think!

[spwill]

Yes, a Low to our east is usually boring, better to have the low center out to our west with us in the warmer flow and perhaps a thunder chance, maybe next time.
Weather very slow to clear here, raining again out of medium level cloud cover, should see sunny spells this afternoon, currently 12C overnight low was 11C

[Razor]

Looking reasonably settled and dryish for us in Canterbury for the foreseeable future which is great news, we've had enough precipitation to last the rest of the winter now! Maybe just a bit of drizzle/ light rain later this week but doesn't look like anything nasty.

Good stuff.

[Michael]

Theres been hardly any window condensation,perhaps 5 or 6 days over the last several weeks only on the clear days,not cold enough.

[Dale]

Dunno, was up in Papakura earlier.. 7ºc temp difference betweeen there and here.
{ED:} Higher end of the scale here.

Good stuff.

...although, mind you, CRT/Blue Skies' forecast for the end of this week doesn't look all that flash...brrr...

[spwill]

Mild Southerlies for Auckland, 11C to 16C, dry this afternoon with some high cloud.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Some agreement now with ECMWF and GFS on yet another sub tropical Low preasure system and wet easterlies next week, has been the winter of the northern low.

Yes the ECMWF continues to have this next low hitting the North Island and further west than this last one. However, GFS has the low well out to the NE of NZ.

[David]

Looks like we could see our first frost of the year in Auckland if the GFS is right about that anticyclone....finally!
