Re: General December Weather
Yes, a cloudy start to summer here.
I see thunder possibilities for the NorthIsland Sun - Tues with a low pressure system crossing NZ early next week, no doubt there will be some model change before then but atleast some interesting weather on the horizon for a change

Re: General December Weather
Yes nice morning indeed. 19 degrees currently with an ENE wind keeping the temperature in check a little, however no where near as strong or fresh as yesterday. Forecast is for the NE to die away so mid 20's are on the cards with the intensity of todays beaming sun.Razor wrote:Glorious blue dome stuff here again

Re: General December Weather
Dunedin up to 29C today.
Cloud/sunny spells here, 20C. The northeast breeze and a lowish dewpoint around 11C giving our weather a fresh cool feel for the past couple of days.

Re: General December Weather
Looks like a bit of a muggy day today for the north.
latest run of the gfs has chopped back the instability tomorrow. But the airmass is very moist with dp17C and 500mb temps not that warm -15C. So potential is there for convection on the front.

Re: General December Weather
Bugger the rain - I want to try out my nice new camera and IR photography
Still very light patchy drizzle here but looking at the radar images for Tauranga @ 10am it certainly looks interesting as it clearly shows a rain band drifting west and blotchy showers drifting east probably to clash in the Kaimais...
