Could we have less evangelising and more objective discussion please. If you want to exhort people to have a certain point of view then please create a separate thread for it so people who just want to read about July weather dont have to wade through it.
I hope that is directed at Bradley who for what ever reason decided to put his views about global warming into this thread
which should not be happening in the first place
and I was reacting to that
and then there was even discussion about forecasts about next years winter weather patterns..what was that all about?
how come a forum moderator did not come down on that?

this forum is no longer the great place to hang out it used to be when I started it up

I see in Cairns it was 27C with a dewpoint of 19C this afternoon , would be a hot day in Auckland in January.

I know it will be a pain but is there any chance we can have this system we have just had split off to its own thread?

Yep, I've moved the weekend's events to a separate thread (as best I can).

There have been quite a few topics in these general threads lately that could have done with their own threads. It might be helpful in future if members could be a little more proactive in starting new topic threads. Thanks. :-)

There will be a few flashes, rumbles, small hail, squalls down the west of the North Island tomorrow pm as colder upper level air moves in. Mainly south of Auckland. Squalls could be severe in the evening Taranaki to Kapiti as a robust shortwave crosses that area.
The set up not that exciting so haven't bothered with a new thread at this stage.

Dunno about that Mickey, I'm thinking Canterbury is being too much sheltered, with these current systems.
Whilst the rest of the country is being 'stormed' there is too much of a sheltered effect with the current weather patterns for Canterbury, sadly. :-k

Modelling has TT 55, K 30 and lapse rates 7C for western North Island on the front tomorrow. Those numbers indicate good lightning chance.
