It's getting colder here faster than I thought, given there is still a SSW breeze blowing (albeit light) - down to 7C now.

I see the temperature as Ricky's place is plummeting now too, just as the sun comes up (the sun will not have enough heating to counteract that for another 30 minutes I would say)

HA!!! still no 'official' frost this year. 0.2 degrees was the low for me and 0.4 for Tim. Thought we were going to finally tip that magical 0 degrees last night but not to be. Doubt we will have a 0 in June so going to have to wait until July to see the merc hit below 0 which is just staggering. As i said earlyer we often have frosts in April and last year in March we had a -2.0 or something horrendous which killed all the maize crops. This year nothing below 0 to date. This mornings ice was very very thin too. Not enough moisture to make it a white wonderland.

Im sure we will get some doozeres coming in with this next high though. Should see some -3 maybe a -4 if we are lucky.

interestingly for me here, the last few days are actually average for temperature for the time of year
but feels like its colder than normal, simply because we are not used to it, after such a long run of warmer than normal !

Lightning trackers have been picking up some strikes from the front out to our SW. I notice gfs has increased the instability a bit over the north for today. Front is due to cross Auckland later this morning. 500mb temps -24C with front.

Looks like some chain showers developing to the South of Christchurch. If they work in towards the CHCH area they can bring good rain totals if frequent enough. Subtropical low potential for the end of this week, early next week.

Yes and those chain showers seem to be moving west inland too.
Was a clear sky here as it got light this morning but a lot of cloud developing now with no wind to speak of

More than 1400 lightning strikes had already been recorded by WeatherWatch's lightning tracker. Most of the lightning had occurred off the Taranaki and Northland coasts

Its very intense and very very slowly working its way towards us looking at 12pm but doubt it will maintain that intensity by the time it is here.
