General July Weather
Looks as though, July will start being mild with a westerly influence looking likely to start the month off

Re: General July Weather
Looks like spring has arrived early with a more zonal westerly pattern setting up in the models. The ski fields won't like the wind.
Severe gales as early as Monday!
And looks like a drier trend for Auckland too.
300mb jet chart for later in the week.

Re: General June Weather
Interesting, some of the gusts would have to be at least 50km,but the south end of the Amuri plains does get more of the NW than up your way more.trickytiger wrote:Never got gusty over here...Richard wrote:The NW winds been rather gusty overnight but at least no frost,low 9.5deg

Re: General July Weather
Should be a couple of mild days for much of this week but then it's back to winter next week, when the back side of these NW's move across. July looks as though it might be a mild month with the "Roaring 40s"starting to make it's influence known.

Still looking like a drop of heavy rain for the north tomorrow pm. A warm front/subtropical moisture crossing with up to 80mm in north Auckland/Northland by the looks.

Re: General July Weather
Yes going to potentially get close to 20 today if the sun comes out soon enough. Blue sky to the south but thick high cloud to the North and West currently. Can see the NW arch however. Temp between 17 and 18 currently. I see Timaru has 19 degrees at the moment.

Re: General July Weather
Cant quite hit 20 here, its been trying over the past hour. Sitting between 19.2 and 19.5. I get the feeling July is going to be well above average temp wise.
Updated: Just hit 20 here over past 15mins or so. I see a weatherunderground station has hit 21.9 in Halswell, not sure exactly in Halswell where it is based or how reliable of a station it is as I dont get up to date with it but link is here:

Re: General July Weather
Yep, I think July might be a record breaker, unless we get some seriously big cold fronts in the last half of July and some prolonged cold the next 6 days at least is looking extremely mild...
