Looks a quite start for Canterbury thank god. But possibly wet for the West Coast as low in the Tasman moves in. Good chance for Canterbury to dry up for now anyway.

Going to freeze like the buggery tonight for inland areas of SI east coast...

Jet streams looks active next week in the Tasman which means rain in the west with the chance of thunder.

May is the month when a tornado is most likely somewhere in NZ, typically in the west or north.

I'm picking that there could be a tornado around somewhere, judging by the latest situation for the month, which could lead to thunderous occasions on the West coasts of both NI and SI.

Chilly morning, just like yesterday. A bit of Radiation fog in Raglan.

Blue skies to start May here, and a bit chilly too with a low of 7.

Quite thick mist moving in here, 5.0degrees.

Chilly here in the winterless north, I see Greylynn went down to 7.5C.

Some wintry air in the models for later next week.

Brisk morning here, still no ice on the car windows yet this autumn.

I have to laugh when people say 7C is chilly

Overcast and drizzling in Raglan now...

It's all relative of course

7C is 7 degrees below the average minimum for last month, so of course it would feel chilly...

The average May minimum for Auckland is 10.2C
The only place I've lived where 7C is not chilly is London in January.

sorry off topic but ....Karen says that quite often on the telly.
It's just like when people says "It's freezing outside"
I say "No , it's not, I can't see any ice around"

If I went out side first thing in the morning at this time of year down here and it was 7C in no way would I think that was chilly.
I was poking a bit of fun at the Northerners that's all.

Bit like 'Jim' saying HOT and its only 22deg

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Fri 02/05/2014 08:06

A chilly 2 degrees in Matangi this morning, nudge nudge.....

ECMWF for next Friday currently indicating snow for the south

melja · Unread post by **melja** » Fri 02/05/2014 10:13

Now 2 is getting a bit cold.

Storm Struck · Unread post by **Storm Struck** » Fri 02/05/2014 12:21

Yeah just looking at the metrogram numbers for the first time this season, along way out but its throwing out some very cold numbers even a -7C 850mb temp.
I am sure the W-NW winds at the start of the week will be welcome for the plains though, a bit milder and dry but still some spill over rain likely.
Thunderstorms and hail for most of the country next week actually, upper air mid week is running in at between -20C and -25C over most of the country.
West coast of both islands will get a good hit of thunder and hail Monday/Tuesday by the looks.

A good weekend this one and early next week,looking ugly next weekend at this stage.

Yeah, I quite agree

Might be a bit of thunder and lightning around next week as I said on an earlier posting.
If not, I'll eat my hat

There is some mention of next weekends storm in weatherwatches latest video and metservice outlook. It's still a very long way out which surprised me that metservice even bothered to mention it. Worth keeping an eye on

CWUweather · Unread post by **CWUweather** » Sat 03/05/2014 19:27

It is VERY SW for Thursday Friday and Saturday. Might get a coastal chain shower set up for Canterbury. THK levels got down to 519 yesterday! But back to about 530 now, maybe some snow to 300-400m
