The overnight tough only brought cloud with not even a slight breeze, noticed the smoke from the logburner going up vertical which is something you dont see often.

Anyone notice the smoky sky this morning,looked up Australia bush fire alerts and there's quite a number of controlled burns going on at the moment.
Anyway enjoying the extra warmth the suns providing now that the days are getting longer, today should be lovely after a heavy frost,

I noticed the sky looked a milky blue yesterday afternoon as well.

wondered why there was a strange look to the western sky at sunset last night

Yes, I have been noticing the orangey coloured sky in the mornings more so and in the evening.
Possibly smoke from china?

looks like a warm NW setup for eastern areas coming....

Our flowering cherries are in full bloom now. Scores of honey bees buzzing around them, and heaps of tuis as well! Counted 14 tuis in them at one point.

I have noticed large numbers of Tui in the flowering cherry as well.

A stunning day today with the heat coming back into that sun. Also some distant afternoon showers.

The trough on Tuesday looks weak for Auckland with just a few sprinkles.

A tropical air mass showing up over us in about a weeks time, hope that holds, better than the usual polar air mass this time of year.

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Mon 24/08/2015 08:17

Nice to have lost those polar air mass though we will still get a few more yet.
A lovely NW wind this morning instead of the frosts of the last three mornings.

A bit of a convergence line developing just west of me. I'm at tuakau at the moment.

Most of NZ seems to be colder than normal so far this month, but not by much in the North Island.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 24/08/2015 15:48

like spring here today, 18.5C max

August so far here has been normal temperature overall (ups and downs) to date

Yup well and truly spring like down here too, has been for some time

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Mon 24/08/2015 21:11

Gfs has some reasonable rain for Auckland tomorrow. But atmos is stable. Looks like 10mm event.

Could possibly be some instability with next system in 6 days time.

I watched a live stream of a lightning active storm over Queensland tonight. Seems their thunder season is underway. They have a subtropical jet stream to fire up the storms.

I see there was a tornado at Dubbo, NSW today
The moist air over eastern Australia last day or two is heading our way for early next week, have to wait and see how it will affect NZ weather.

Bit damp up Hawarden and Culverden today, some very happy farmer's I talked to.

Had 3mm, its something anyway but no where enough, i'm looking at about five days out where its looking like onshore winds that hopefully might bring some descent rain.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Thu 27/08/2015 07:18

That weekend front for Auckland looks weak but the system early next week will be active with heavy rain for northern region.

Could be inland snow for the South Island next week too but thats Septembers thread.

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Thu 27/08/2015 11:26

Some rainy weather to end August but atleast a milder air mass in the mix.
I think the GFS might be overdoing the cold over the South Island early/mid next week.

Bradley · Unread post by **Bradley** » Thu 27/08/2015 15:46

GFS is usually pretty good with the temps, tends to overdo the moisture levels pretty regularly though! In saying that though there does seems to be some really interesting numbers being thrown up next week for places like Hanmer Springs, could be a white start to September for them!

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Thu 27/08/2015 19:24

Ended up reaching 18deg which i see Hanmer Springs had also
