Re: General November Weather
13.6 degrees, the lightest possible drizzle blowing with the fresh to strong southerly breeze; overcast low uniform grey cloud; visibility maybe 800 metres. One of those days that's neither "useful, ornamental or diverting" so far.

Re: General November Weather
Overcast here as well sitting on 14.5 degrees. Should be much cooler today than the last few days. Fine up in Tekapo and Twizel so should be warm inland today.

Re: General November Weather
Looks like a Low-Mod risk of some storms popping up tomorrow around Western Waikato (Waitomo).
Seems to be some shear too
Upper air temps are bit fickle though......

Re: General November Weather
Doh, I was working at Whakatane Hospital and had no idea. Never mind, too busy to chase anyway. In any case, my desire for storms should be satisfied in just a few days time.

Re: General November Weather
Could be interesting (or should I say dangerous) for trampers in the Ureweras.
A bit of drizzle overnight/tomorrow morning should be the grand total of the southerly front moving over us in Chch.
