Re: General October Weather
Suprisingly warm out there. we dont often get days like this. It looks like one of those days where its skolding hot outside but it isnt.
I think the stange thing is how dry the air is... not humid at all and not a cloud in the sky yet its warm. Hamilton doesnt often get like this.

I have noticed SE Auckland and South Auckland catch the SW flow more, I think it will have something to do with the Bombay Hills/ Waitakeres.David wrote:Why is Grey Lynn 2.5C warmer than Howick?NZstorm wrote:22C in Grey Lynn. An early start to summer.
I see 25C at 3pm for some NI locations today

Re: General October Weather
I worked out why it's looks hot. It's the haze! Why is it so hazy? It's incurably hazy here!

Re: General October Weather
Paddocks around the area still in flood, not drained much at all due to a higher water table since the quake. Have dodged the forecasted drizzly rain for here, although it looks like we might get some brief rain soon as some development is working its way north.

Re: General October Weather
I noticed the haze today too not quite even a cloud form very thin but enough to take just affect the sun.
Wind has stayed NE all day even some CU popping up here and there, looked good your way Richard for awhile.
No southerly as yet here infact no wind at all, but lightly raining.

Re: General October Weather
Southerly came through here from 5:40pm with some substantial rain. Not much drop in temperature but from it being hazy today, it was much more of a weak convergence effect to the rain droppage.
Lots of already moisture in the air.

Re: General October Weather
Steady rain still falling. Went for a drive out the back of Cashmere and Halswell and so much water on the paddocks. This will just be adding to the fields. Another 6mm to date.

Re: General October Weather
Low cloud and 15C to start the day here, low clouds should burn back this morning.
Looks like a trough line (SE change) will be over the central NI today with a few showers there but dry for Auckland.
Tomorrow Sunday, surface convergence inland and some cooling aloft (12Zgfs) suggests the possibility of isolated late afternoon thunderstorms over the central North Island. But weather will be fine for Auckland.
