Nice Richard! Thought there might be some potential up your way today. Good to hear something is happening.

My dad lives in Waiau now so asked him to takes photo's if he sees anything, hopefully I can put a picture or two up from him later but it will probably be backyard shots :D That's if he gets anything.

Cheers

Fine here today,some high cloud, light winds,current 18.5C, dewpoint 9.7C.

Ricky is running -1.5C colder than normal
http://www.portunus.net.nz/weather/climatedataout.html

but yes temperature should be more normal now for the rest of the month I would expect
(but would need to be warmer than normal to compensate for the colder so far)

Rickys station should get above 20C every day for the rest of the month. Looks like a milder airmass hanging around a bit now.

I see the forecast high for Whangarei is just 15C,( looks too low to me) but a rare max for this time of year if that turns out to be the max for the day.
Some very humid air sitting just north of the country but it unfortunately stays up there.
