I see NIWA's Rangiora site managed 22.6C yesterday - a July record for that particular 13-year-old site, but not sure how it compares with older sites?

Typically in July the highs bring cold air masses with them but this one is the opposite.

[Tornado Tim]

Beauty of a morning here, Frost and radiation fog.

[Michael]

Another Hamilton morning like a couple of weeks back,though maybe starting to clear now.

[jamie]

very interesting morning. No ice at my place as i was sitting around 2 degrees and lots of thick fog. On my way to work i cleared the fog and at work (close to Tims place) it was icy and just light fog.

The current warm weather pattern must be a concern for our ski fields. I see Coronet Peak has suspended night skiing due to warm weather. http://www.scene.co.nz/queenstown-night ... 648a1.page They had rain at the weekend without the usual follow up cold air.

I see July has been a little cooler than normal for Auckland, next week should be mild here.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Yes. I noticed that, driving home this afternoon,the snow along the Alps was looking a bit ragged

[Richard]

Lovely warm NW wind of 19deg,i see Culverden is only 14deg without the NW,great to see a flush of green grass wityh this warm weather.

[snowstormwatcher]

Only 9 degrees here with thick high cloud.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Our Witch-hazel is coming out to bloom already.

[Richard]

A milder start to the morning than past few mornings with the NW wind,just on 6deg

[NZstorm]

13C with mist here to start the day.

Looks like colder weather on the way for northern areas by the end of the week.

[spwill]

A cooler end to the week for northern areas , temperatures recover early next week as new low pressure system moves in from the Tasman bringing rain/showers to much of the country.

[snowstormwatcher]

Sleet/frozen rain falling here at the moment. Currently 0.8 degrees.

[NZstorm]

Looks quite nippy today in the south on the 850mb temperature chart! That cold air will move north with the ridge.

[David]

More heavy rain in the Coromandel, the rain gauge at Pinnacles reports 27mm in the hour to 3.15pm

[jamie]
