ANZAC weekend weather

[Razor]

This year sees ANZAC Day "mondayised" for most of us for the first time

We are thinking of going camping, at the moment its a toss up between Punakaiki, Reefton or St Arnaud. Early days yet, but St Arnaud looking the better bet on current modelling.

Well clearly no one gave a toss about this weekends weather!

Forecast has deteriorated to the point where camping is off and a mates holiday house at Castle Hill is now the go

I do - taking today off as well as Monday. Glorious day in W'gton, lots of people watched the parade with some fascinating old vehicles on show.

Sounds like a good parade in Wellington, Sydney always did a great ANZAC parade when I was living there.

Earthshakingly good?

Back home by then - only noticed the last 15 secs or so - apparently lots of nervous people in some of the higher buildings prone to swaying though ...

Holiday house at Castle Hill sounds great ! some awesome walks around the area,looks a tad windy this weekend though.

Jeezuz glad we aren't in a tent on the coast... Metservice warning issued, 450mm expected for the main divide over the weekend! Don't go tramping up there anyone!

Lovely day for the ANZAC dawn services and parades. Big crowds at Burnham this morning.

Cool at 6deg for the dawn service here, clear skies and very dewy grass. Day became quite mild by mid-morning, sunny, blue skies, a few high clouds. And huge crowds at the services I attended.

Another mild day but wet looking along the Alps.
Thunderstorm looking but I don't think so, sadly.
NW Arch moving away but remaining rather cloudy. North to NE winds here.

At Castle Hill. Sunny and breezy all day, some late afternoon passing showers but nothing too dramatic

Beautiful mild day at Godley Heads on Banks Peninsula..thick high cloud with a gentle seabreeze undercutting the northerly
