Not a bad day in Auckland now with Grey Lynn 16C.

Potentially thundery for Auckland Northland early next week! Very cold upper air and surface low in vicinity.
Hope it will verify.

I think the pattern this August could well produce one or two more snow events during the month, northern moisture meeting cold air from the south.

-1.9C here already at 7.35pm, could be a record breaker tonight!! I notice Mt Cook is already -11C!!

-11 where do you see that. I can't see that. Overnight the low is -11 but not yet?.

Not a particularly cold night from what I can see round the south island at this early time.

A little ice around here this morning, dipped down to 1.2C.

Colder here than I was expecting this morning, Grey Lynn went down to 2.9C.

Looks like the east coast of Northland is in the firing line for some heavy showers/ hail next few days in an unstable easterly.

they had exactly the same for Paihia, but seem to have amended them since.

Already reached our low of -1 tonight. I wonder why MS only went for -1 when we have got there with 8 hours to spare. Maybe wind or cloud is expected?

Manukau heads obs · Tue 09/08/2016 07:19

2.7c here with a light easterly breeze...brrrr..

It will be nice to get back to average temperatures.

Looking unstable over the warm sea around the top of Northland with thunderstorms developing there now.

Heading down to Ohakune this Sunday for 8 days. Liking the big fat high parked over NZ thats being suggested by EC and GFS for next week, hope it comes off.. Anyone have any input on next weeks weather for Central NI?

Bit all over the place at the moment isnt it. Cheers for input Tony. Are you not very confident the high will build in?

MS say 139mm near Warkworth between 4pm Tues and 8am Weds.

Must be from the Mt Tamahunga radar (450m asl).

Unusually Low dew point temperatures ( 5-11C) over northern NZ with this heavy rain event, but the upper atmosphere is unusually cold.
