Re: General September Weather
Was just going to say the same thing...the 2 year anniversary of the Sept quake, we got a supercell with an astounding hail storm, perhaps one of the most amazing electrical storms I have ever seen, certainly outside the Southern AlpsNev wrote:That last pic was taken by Rob Dickinson from New Brighton 3 years ago (see link here and here)petem8nz wrote:Chch Storm from yesterday.

Got woken by a heavy shower rain/hail 11.15pm. 11mm overnight.spwill wrote:Very heavy showers crossing here currently, some lightning/ thunder observed.
Lightning tracker picked up 2 or 3 strikes on Auckland's west coast last night. A strong shortwave but there was not much instability with it. And that will be the end of our so called winter thunderstorm season when you look at the gfs for the next 2 weeks. Looks anticyclonic.

Re: General September Weather
Slightly O.T. but, I see TVNZ's weather presenter, Renee Wright has been making headlines in the UK...

Re: General September Weather
If anyone experiences large hail, grab a sample and put it in the freezer or measure it. The large hail obs are important.SnwAddct wrote:Short burst of very large hail stones in Glen Eden, West Auckland last night.. Much bigger than marble size, didnt last long though..

Re: General September Weather
Only 6mm of rain forecast for Canterbury region in the next 2 weeks - I wonder if this is the first signs of El Niño coming into play heading into summer?

Re: General September Weather
We seem to be entering a phase where high pressure dominates thus precip lower. For Canterbury there is a shortwave on Friday.Bradley wrote:Only 6mm of rain forecast for Canterbury region in the next 2 weeks - I wonder if this is the first signs of El Niño coming into play heading into summer?

Re: General September Weather
In a way yes considering even though it could be a very good spring early summer for storms in the region, as we know storms are isolated quite often unless we get heaps of busters then some areas will get more than others.Bradley wrote:Only 6mm of rain forecast for Canterbury region in the next 2 weeks - I wonder if this is the first signs of El Niño coming into play heading into summer?
But I suspect the real dry conditions wont start until January 2016
Canterbury, home of good rugby and severe storms

Re: General September Weather
Drier air over Waikato, dewpoint for Auckland was around 9C under clear skies/ no wind allowed for night cooling and the widespread fog to develop.
Some afternoon cumulus development should lead to some showers later according to GFS.

Re: General September Weather
Some very very interesting numbers being thrown up by EC and ACCESS this morning for Friday and Saturday for inland Canterbury, anywhere from 20-30cm above 400m is what they are going for 3 days out...
