General May Weather

[Michael]

May is starting off anticyclonic after tomorrows S flick in the north island,and likely a NE flow from tasman lows in the north after the 1st week.

[spwill]

A cold start to the month for some areas mostly over the SouthIsland with some frosty weather.

[spwill]

A partly cloudy start to May here , currently 16C. It looks like the dry trend to our weather continues into early next week, some rain looks likely mid next week.

According to Niwa the Auckland average max temp for May is 17.6C, average min 10C with 1 ground frost.

[spwill]

Fine and cloudy periods here today, light to mod southwest breeze, isolated light showers , max 18C.

[David]

A mainly cloudy evening here, maybe we won't get down to 5 degrees after all (which I would have guessed if it had been clear ) A dry day in the city but there was a brief heavy shower around 11.20am in Howick.

[Orion]

It's becoming very dark as a rainy-looking line of clouds moves up from the south.
6.9 degrees.

[snowstormwatcher]

Blue dome day here all day with a cool gusty Southwesterly. High of 11c.
heading for a good frost tonight with clear skies and 4 degrees currently.

[Razor]

Just lit the fire for the first time this year. Now we'll know for sure if the Dec quakes munted the flue or not....

[littleheaven]

10.4 degrees here on Auckland's North Shore, at 10pm. That's the coldest evening so far this year for my place, I think.

[Nev]

Coldest temp of the year here with 7.5C at 6:41am. Grey Lynn was on 6.8C at 6:23am and I think MS had Ardmore on 4C earlier this morn.

[David]

Coldest temp of the year here with 7.5C at 6:41am.

Coldest here also with 4.5°C, sure feels it too!

[Michael]

Nice sunny day,quite windy S ,though looking forward to a rare NE/NW regime one of these days,the neighbours might then cut back their trees.

[spwill]

We get into a warm tropical airmass next week but 5C dewpoints today giving the day a very fresh feel with a cold start.
Clear conditions, currently 16C, light-mod Southerly.

[David]

Very low dewpoint here today, got down to 2.5°C at one stage this afternoon. It's looking chilly tonight!

[snowstormwatcher]

Another clear blue dome day here. High of 10 degrees. 2c now with ice on the car.

[Tornado Tim]

The wind seems to be moderating the temperature here, 5.0°C but now its going back again.

Horsham Downs isnt seeing this effect as much as its on the 3°C mark.

[tich]

2.8C now in Chch (Hillmorton) - frost very likely.

[Dean.]

minus 0.5 here at 2.30am

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Still no frost here for the year with 2.5 the minimum (which happens to be currently). Looking at Metservice Christchurch Airport however is on 0.5 degrees and at the same time eastern suburbs are on 6.3, Port Hills 8.3

[Nev]

4.7C here at 5:18am (currently 4.8C).

Also looks like the Akld region has recorded its first near zero temp at Ardmore this morn and Whenuapai on less than 2C.

[David]

Low of 2.7°C here

[NZstorm]

A low of 5C in Grey Lynn.

A change to milder wetter weather by Sunday by the looks.

[spwill]

Certainly the coolest day here for a long while, currently 15C, clear skies with light winds.

[David]

Temperature dropping quickly again this evening, already down to 9°C here under perfectly calm conditions. The dewpoint is not quite as low as yesterday though, so perhaps it will be slightly warmer than last night.

[Storm Struck]

Lowest minimum for the season so far recorded here this morning at 0.6C, a very light layering of ice on the windscreen this morning enough to need the warm water over the top.
Perhaps down to as low as -2C in some inland sheltered areas, maybe a repeat tonight if cloud cover stays away.
