Hot 10 days coming by the looks. Could top 30 i think. Stunning day today.

the worry is there is no rain in the models for the next 2 weeks....

Have got used to the warm nights, so the last 2 mornings of 12-13C have felt a bit cold

It did feel cold this morning, not ready for the cold weather yet.

The Airport is showing 10.8mm rainfall for the last 4 weeks and the short term outlook is dry, need a tropical low to head our way otherwise around mid April is when the seasonal pattern change starts to happen.

Summer has been the worst season of the whole year,last spring was westerly mostly and November was better than the summer as a whole apart from last week,winter had some squalls but not a permanent one like most of the afternoons of late

Been a lovely day with temps just ideal for working outside,a light NE and a high of 24.5deg.

The most horrible NE wind here today, not very summer like.
A run of hot and well above temps last week has brought the average for the month back to about normal but in general most days have been below normal by about 1C so if it not for 2 days with +7 and +6 above normal it would be another cool month.
Dry too again with 22mm recorded here in Rangiora as we missed most of the rain CHCH got.

Looks like we'll end up with 21mm here for Feb, 56mm year to date. At least that's more than last year

Guess like our sw,havent been to chch in a summer situation so hence the assumption.

will have just 17.6mm here and 51.8 for the year. A tad more than this time last year. God i hope this dry spell ends sooner rather than April like last year.

I see Greylynn has had 12.8mm for the month, 45.8mm year to date.

Light variable winds today helped generate cloud over the isthmus, a fine start and end to the day.
Temp range 14 -25C, dp 14C

Looking like a cooler pattern on the way for NZ. Auckland's maximums over the weekend into next week will struggle to exceed 22C with dry southwesterlies.

A real pea souper here this morning

What are you guys thoughts on the storm chances for Canterbury Friday,looking like we could get a decent drop of rain at least.

Looks like an end to summer as of Friday afternoon in Canterbury, can't see any temps above 21C in the next 14 days either. Bring on winter!!!

There a chance to me richard, but looking very NW prior to the change.havent checked cloud cover though, SW change looks to arrive mid afternoon so a chance.

Now why would you want that? More summer please, with the odd storm

I wouldn't mind some autumn first

like to see an end of the spring pattern though today is better,thought it might even be a shower but nothing eventuated.

I sure hope the Autumnal rains come soon, the drought index is getting very high. Everything is browning off.
Just under 500 now.....

Hi Bradley, I see a couple of days in the mid 20s but nothing above 30...yet. It changes pretty quickly in this sort of pattern I reckon

It's become wonderfully warm here at the moment, around 29.2 degrees for me.

Got to 29deg here as well,light to mod NNW wind most the day

Sea breeze convergence cloud over the isthmus again today after a clear start, 16-26C, dp 15C.

Radio sport are saying snow has hit the NZ open. That golf course wouldnt be much higher than Queenstown and queenstown has 11C at the moment.

Is that reporting gone crazy?
