General April Weather

Looks like remnants of Debbie may cross NZ in the first week of April, depending on anticyclone movements

12Z European model showing remains of TC Debbie developing into a low mid next week.

Upper level support for heavy rain next week is looking like lower North Island/Upper South island.

Showing up clearly on the GFS too, fantastic.....

people in Brisbane asked the Q as TC Debbie came ashore..will it get to Brisbane?
and people said no...but never say never..the remaining tropical low eye passed right over the city center!
and the cold front that came up from NSW has caused alot of flash flooding to occur in both states

I see the models are still working out what's going to happen to the ex TC Debbie in the tasman and how that will affect NZ

and yet weather agencies think each model run is set in concrete and make forecasts or warnings based on that

Models still being consistent for between 40-70mm for large areas of Canterbury next Wednesday, hard to believe places like Culverden could end up receiving 120mm+ over a 3 week period if this event comes off, hopefully this will relieve some pressure on the farmers in the Hurunui

A humid start to April for Northern NZ, dewpoint up to 20C through to mid week, looks like fresher pushing in Thursday

Charming. Rain on the way after yet another lousy month here.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sun 02/04/2017 07:39

Some heavy showers popping up later this afternoon for the north.

A humid day with dp already 20C this morning.

Still very foggy here. Took till 10am yesterday to clear. Now beyond that time being after 9am today (daylight savings change)

Showers didn't eventuate here today however radar shows some just to the north now.
Humid conditions , will be a warm night.

Have a "feels like" temp of 25C here ATM. Thought it felt like nighttime in the tropics

Yea very warm here. Had a very very quick 1mm this arvo from a shower earlier this arvo.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sun 02/04/2017 19:53

We had a 3mm shower here in the last hour.

Nev · Unread post by **Nev** » Sun 02/04/2017 20:43

13mm here in the last hour or so. Kinda misty too. Noticed some patchy fog earlier this arvo as well. Also a bit of brief trace mizzle early this morn. Not a bad day otherwise though...

only supposed to be getting drizzle here today but there's actually been some decent rain with 14mm so far since last night.

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Mon 03/04/2017 09:44

Some early fog, sun is out now so it will feel very warm today especially over Northland which will have more of the sunshine in the humid conditions.

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Mon 03/04/2017 13:05

A sultry day in the north, temperatures up to around 26C for parts of Northland/Auckland, dewpoint 21C, certainly warm for April.

Whangarei currently 25.0C , 89% RH. Not sure what the NZ record dew point is but can't be much higher than that

That is a 23C dew point at Whangarei.

The general dewpoint over Northland looks to be around 21C

Manukau heads obs · Mon 03/04/2017 14:10

I dont think I have ever seen a DP above 23c in NZ before

spwill · Unread post by **spwill** » Mon 03/04/2017 15:16

I tend to ignore the isolated high dp readings.

A dry day here so far, the Metservice scattered showers are yet to show up.

Manukau heads obs · Mon 03/04/2017 15:26

I see Ricky has nearly 22C DP
its not surprising, as the air mass has come from an ex TC basicly

NZ Thunderstorm Soc · Tue 04/04/2017 18:43

Boring day here with 'anticyclonic gloom'

Only about 12C maximum.
got the fire going tonight.

Is there any interesting weather coming a foot?
