Re: General November Weather
The lift will be there today Tim by way of low level convergence. A convergence zone will develop down the centre of the Island. The main driver for todays instability is the hot afternoon temperatures coupled with modest moisture. Looking like CAPE values of 500j/kg won't be out of the question but it doesn't look like a storm chase set up. Will be watching all the same.

Re: General November Weather
I know, MetService has an odd way of sending those temps through to us they include centres not on the daily list. Have asked about it but had no luck in finding out why!Nev wrote: P.S. I see W/W have 32C at Murchison today! Murchison also managed 30C yesterday but didn't seem to get a mention, nor did Reefton on 29C, Pukaki Aero on 28C or Wanaka on at least 28C. Also no mention of Wanaka today with at least 29C.

Re: General November Weather
Summery here too, hit 25.1C before but don't think we'll reach 26C due to sea breezes. Only gusting about 13km/h but its enough to keep the temp down!

Re: General November Weather
A lovely day here in Auckland, clear skies, 26C, dewpoint 15C, no sea breeze at my house yet.
I see there are inland showers developing now over the NorthIsland high country, South Island is looking much more stable today.

Re: General November Weather
Is it true that Auckland's Airport power outage was because of lightning?
Was it that "Thundery" up there yesterday?

Re: General November Weather
I think some jurno may have their wires crossed, so to speak. Lightning strikes have caused previous runway-light outages. A factor in last night's outage may have been the residual effects of previous strikes.

Re: General November Weather
Still 25C here at 6pm, only dropped 0.5C below the day's maximum. How odd?
Might have something to do with the change in wind direction

Another hot one again coming up once the low cloud clears which it is already doing to the east of here,wonder if we get the third day in a row of 30+.
Just a wee bit cooler over night on 13C than previous mornings.

Re: General November Weather
When you consider USA gets those cloud tops (23km) and its at the same lattitudes as NZ it shows how crazy the instability is over there.
Just had a quick flick through the long range models and nothing stands out. The farmers will have to hang on for rain. I see CAPE 800j/kg modeled for Waitomo on Wednesday so maybe a decent storm down there Wednesday pm.
