Re: General November Weather
Overnight low of 17 here. 18.7 currently at the airport with variable winds. Extensive thick high cloud out there so will probably stop us from getting to 30.

Re: General November Weather
Given the upper air is not particularly cold over Canterbury today I would expect the warm dry NW to kill any chance of thunder there today but as MetService has a mod risk today I will watch with interest, their model infomation will be considerably better than anything we have access to.

Re: General November Weather
Looks like it will be early December before we get the next round of storms, a ridge heading in this week but then leaving around Saturday next week.

Re: General November Weather
Yup, you can see the NW arch which isnt too far off, thick high cloud ofcourse is stubborn. Im thinking if the sun can win the battle by no later than 1130am then 30 is perhaps still on the cards - it really depends if enough heating can occur before the change.Richard wrote:That high cloud should clear around the middle of the day though i reckon
1030am: Here is the sun now with the high cloud clearing. Expect to see the temperature rise considerably in the next half hour or so.
1130am: High cloud has moved back in again and thickened again. Reached 25 at the airport and 27.8 at Jeffs.

Perahps the Hanmer Springs site that MS monitors isn't the most reliable. NIWA do have a forestry site just a couple of kms ESE of the town, which usually reads a little less; it only recorded 28.8C yesterday. Other NIWA sites that were around 29C yesterday included Cheviot, Snowdon, Methven and Waipara W.

Re: General November Weather
Interesting to see Timaru currently on 27.4C while Oamaru is on 12.8C, a classic east coast southerly change there.
Auckland currently cloudy 23C, dewpoint is 16C giving a rather humid feel to the day.

Re: General November Weather
Yes, I see the southerly has hit Ashburton gusting 70km.h and down to 16.1 there currently. 28 at the airport here still, almost nudged 30 locally with 29.7. Some cloud buildups to the south but its actually the clearest the skies have been all day atm.
Another advantage of the new radars - you can see the showers cells actually develop as it is doing so in Inland South Canterbury at the moment.

You can also see the southerly wind change as a 'fine-line' moving across the Plains, with the showers developing behind it...CHCH Weather Chaser wrote:Another advantage of the new radars - you can see the showers cells actually develop as it is doing so in Inland South Canterbury at the moment.

Change as it came over the city, high based. Looked like some resonable showers around Rakaia then moving off around Taumutu.
On to the next possibility!

Re: General November Weather
The westerly has seemed to kill activity ahead of the change but looking inbehind it theres deep showers with some red/purple moving across between Timaru and Rolleston even as of latly so i wouldnt rule out something as the air flow freshens and the humidity goes back up.
The radar weather watcher showed before is what i am talking about, the line wind change ahead goes through with no shower or thunder activity but it develops in behind it.

Yes, but MetSetrvice are not very good for Canterbury with their thunderstorm forecasts.
NW against a SW is a no no
I like the word 'heavy' being a thunderstorm without thunder in my books.
When they say that, I just expect a few spits of drizzle.
...but then they have cover their bottoms

Re: General November Weather
I see the NW flow was moist, Chch dewpoint was 12C with the northwester this afternoon, the dewpoint has dropped with the wind change.
often there is a dewpoint rise with the southerly change
