Here, we're up to the October average rainfall or past it now, and sunshine is abnormally low (lowest for first 15 days in records back to 1954). Quite a contrast to September.

Somehow I doubt we will get that high as there is pro-dominant SW flow, the Westerly change later on is a little to late for the temp to rise that high. I could understand 23Â°C in a NW currently but not in a SW just yet.....

Looks like the warm air over the Tasman doesn't get onto the North Island until overnight/tomorrow. Should see some warm temperatures Friday over inland and eastern North Island and BOP. 25C not out of the question in some sheltered spots.

Also even for CHCH they have 23 deg today,they've got to be dreaming if they think it will even come close to that temp

It comes down to the timing of a westerly change reaching the coast. Looks NE there for much of the day but a warmer westerly kicks in late afternoon by the looks. But the change does look too late in the day for 23C.

Yes i agree though i don't believe the westerly will be strong enough to even reach the coast,plus the amount of high cloud coming onto the South Island at the moment is going to keep the lid on the temps also.
Mind you it looks more like a WSW that a straight westerly flow

Sitting on 16.4C here atm and slowly climbing, high cloud seems to be breaking up, sun now shining thru. Im still looking at a high in the low 20's easily!

Interesting to see the Tekapo region still covered in snow http://www.tekapotourism.co.nz/webcam.html

As soon as I stopped writing that the high cloud moved back in and doesnt look like leaving....

Fine here but a fresh to strong SW breeze is keeping our temperature to around 17C.

Looks like windy conditions tomorrow for the Auckland to Russell yacht race ( Coastal Classic), SW gusting 35 knots.

Was talking to someone up there this morning and they said there was close to 30cm of snow there on wendesday morning so not surprising its taking its time to melt.

19 degrees here currently.

Timaru into the warmer air on 21C currently , Chch on 14C.

I wanted 23 today, I feel I have been given the runaround !

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Thu 20/10/2011 17:52

Reached 19 here at 3.00 with a light NE,no sign of that westerly wind change which is predicted for at least a couple of hours going by the amount of thin haze around the mountains.
Given this is one of the first areas in Canterbury to receive the arrival of the W - NW winds, ya know that its will generally be many more hours later before it arrives in CHCH.

Fine morn in Auckland 14C but the SW will freashen up today.

Yes, it looks as if most of those east coast highs will have occurred after the TV-temp's 4pm cut-off time and the following morning newspaper's 6pm cut-off time, i.e. Timaru Aero 21.5C, Dunedin City 21.2C, Oamaru 20.7C, Ashburton Aero 19.8C and Chch Aero 15.1C.

4pm being too early in the warmer months.

We have the fresh to strong southwest wind blowing again today, fine conditions, haze, 21C, dewpoint 13C

What a wonderful day, sunny and almost 20 degrees, warmer than I expected. Feels like summer's on the way...

As for Whakatane, summer is already there - 25C there at the moment

Why is Grey Lynn 2.5C warmer than Howick?
