Probably time to leave the Evan thread in the weather abroad area, and move discussion in here. :-)

cool to watch the collision going on the moment on the sat animation
ripping shreads out of the cloud sheet on the western side of former TC Evan
as the westerly pattern from the tasman collides with it

Auckland should miss a lot of the rain due to sheltering effects in E flow.

Looks like humid, low clouds/drizzle for Xmas day,

Yes, Auckland may end up with low clouds /drizzle showers Xmas day due to the high humidity and onshore flow, the weather will tend to brighten in the afternoon.

Looks like sunny spells could lead to a few heavy afternoon/evening showers across the North Island and upper South Island due to the high dewpoint levels.

wow, check out the new convection that developed overnight...
if it does that as it moves over, there will be heavy rain...
if it slides over the top of the auckland area and we get a NE flow, then Auckland is in the firing line for rain

Its been in the models for a few runs now, looks like much of the South Island will get a good dose of rain on the 26/27th December.
Canterbury could be looking at up to 50mm or slightly more with some heavy falls at times, so im sure that will go down well with the early campers.
A big swing in the origional outlook of sunny weather for this period.
Canterbury, home of good rugby and severe storms

Yes.looking like a cool event as the system moves over here. Christmas Day looks to be a hot one however with temperatures likely to hit a record breaking Christmas Day temperature of 35C. 8-o


...but then it could only get to 18C :-s

I see, that MetService in it's long range forecast have said that exTC Evan is moving east into the Tasman Sea?
I'm confused? :?:

Looks like very high temperatures inland South Island. Certainly topping 30C inland Otago/Canterbury.

The coastal NE should keep Christchurch and Dunedins' temperature down.

Temps could reach 30C in some parts of the lower North Island but cloud cover will limit heating.

SE wind is freshening now, overcaste. Sunshine today would have seen the temperature really come up.
Currently 24C, dewpoint 18C.
