Thats terrible!
Wheres the broom when you need it eh Micheal?

at least ok for washing.

Yes pine needles are good for the washing.
Did you add them to the wash cycle? I did and my colours came out brighter......

Looks like a similar situation two days ago occurring tomorrow. Another trough (weak however).

[Orion]

South-easterly freshening here, temp. dropping (was 21 a moment ago, now 20.2) & can see on Rain Radar a large area of something which must be imminent. Edges of hills looked blurry beyond Geraldine as I travelled back from Ashburton fifteen minutes ago. Cloud down to tops of Mt Hutt and Mt Somers, i.e. maybe to 5,500 feet.

[snowstormwatcher]

Steady rain here now currently 18 degrees. Was mainy fine this morning with a high of 25 degrees at 12pm.

[Richard]

Looks to be shower building up to the west of me at the moment,dont know if the any lightening in it though.

High of 28C here today with a SE wind most of the day but has turned more to the S in the last hour are so.

[Storm Struck]

Some interesting layers of cloud about this afternoon, from CU congestus to stratocumulus and mid to upper level cloud.
Had some brief spots of rain after 6pm, apart from that quite a muggy day even with the sun behind the cloud at times.
Saturday looks to be the strongest set up for inland afternoon/evening heat showers, so some could turn thundery about and west of the Foothills.

[NZstorm]

The low passing well east of NZ looks fairly impressive.

A big upper ridge crossing NZ over the next few days will lead to stable conditions across NZ. But isolated showers from cumulus buildups can occur due to low level convergence.

[spwill]

Yes, cool upper air currently over the NI moves away and then it looks too warm for thunder over NZ for the next few days, just the usual low top summer showers from heating/convergence.

[jamie]

some good looking tCu on the kaimais

[Orion]

Beautiful day at the moment: 26.4 degrees, 51% humidity, northeasterly just beginning to sigh in the pines, blue skies; but... buildup of haze/murk to the south towards Timaru, large white clouds piling up to southwest beyond Geraldine; the odd little raggy grey-brown cloud drifting in from the south and disintegrating before it reaches here. Are we expecting any change? - couldn't tell from rain-radar.

[David]

Didn't expect 25C today, very warm! Summer must be here

[jamie]

kaimais keep looking better and better! hopefully it starts sparking later.

I see metservice have gone for 27c for hamilton on both sat and sun. should be a hot weekend. perfect for wakeboarding at the lake.

[spwill]

A line of Cu can be seen out to the east of Auckland also a decent looking cloud top has appeared down there in the Waikato.

[Manukau heads obs]

looking summery in land alright!

[NZstorm]

CB's out to the east of here now. They don't look very strong but Rickys tracker is picking up a few strikes off them.

No changes for many days to come apart from build ups inland Orion,but as you said "large white clouds piling up"alright but never came to much,maybe Sat.

Second day in a row with a 28C max,this was at 5.30,cant see it getting any higher now this late

[NZstorm]

From the local hourly metars Auckland airport got to just 21C today due to the SW whereas Whenuapai and Ardmore recorded 23C.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

GFS seems to be suggesting some showers or drizzle tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully that stays away!

[Dale]

Nice convergance setup off the E coast of AKL.. big fluffy towers roaring up in the last 30 or so mins.. 23-24 isnt a long shot, not here anyway, didnt have any seabreeze effect until about an hour ago.

[spwill]

Yes some big Cu form cloud tops/ heavy showers just east of Auckland now.

[David]

Lots of grey clouds just east of me, unfortunately it looks as if they will stay east of me.
The wind turned E here at 2pm today but back to SW at 2.30pm, keeping us in the mainly sunny conditions.
Nice evening though, still 20C.

[Manukau heads obs]

rain radar picking up some sort of inversion echo out to the west of us here....I can tell you its blue skies out there!

[Storm Struck]

GFS seems to be suggesting some showers or drizzle tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully that stays away!

Shouldnt be any drizzle tomorrow most of the action will be inland and west of the Foothills, where afternoon cloud build ups will lead to showers there and slight risk of thunder.
Best area looks to be from the foothills of North Canterbury, so Richard you are in some luck.
There might be some showers spilling eastwards in the evening, but most will be away from the city i would think.

Another warm day reaching 27C at work and still 25C at home in Kaiapoi by 5pm with a breezy NE, 19C currently as of 8:45pm so not too bad.
Plenty of Cumulus/Humilis around for much of the day, especially this afternoon with that scattered look across the blue sky.
Tomorrow should see simular temperatures again.

[Lukemyster]

Hopefully something builds up in Hanmer then because i will be there

Temps in Christchurch have been very warm lately, mean max 21.5. Summer has definitely arrived.

Can't believe Chirstmas is only 4 weeks away. Although santa is screwed. There are no chimneys left in christchurch;)
