To be fair, having lived in Timaru a couple of years, unexpected NW arch set ups do cause very occasional days like that there, and its pretty rare and hard to predict!

Same down here - we've hit 5.9°C!
I thought we might be on for a station record low max temp, but to no avail.

I see Milton broke through the 1°C barrier for a full 20 minutes today.

There will be a big temp contrast between Southland and Northland tomorrow. Should hit 20C in Northland tomorrow while Southland will be in single figures for sure.

Will be keeping an eye on the instability in the north tomorrow.

so nuch for the weather bomb
so over used by the media now
very little rain here and only strong winds (and not gales)
so far at lest anyway ( there is a better rain band developing now and moving onto the far north, which is lighting active)

I never look at predicted amounts
they are going to always change or end up being different to predictions
just look at the trends only I suggest and not get hung up on exact numbers
(hence my tongue in cheek comment the other day where the media quoted a computer model output of rain forecast that to the nearest 0.1mm...how rediculous...it should instead by probability over a range or similar)

I agree Brian, the rainfall parameter would be the worst performing model parameter.


Thunderstorm potential for the upper North Island today, as far south as Waikato by the looks. Lapse rates steepen to 6.8C today which is a favourable number for storm development. Looks like trough lines will come south today/tomorrow.

Oh Dear… :-(
'Severe weather warnings: It's going to be a shocker' - NZ Herald

…A mini-tornado took tiles off a roof in Te Aroha, and the fire brigade put up a tarpaulin.
'Glossary of tornado terms' - Wikipedia

Mini-tornado – A fallacious term often used in European news media to refer to tornadoes occurring there; even large, strong, and/or long track tornadoes produced by supercells. This is apparently due to the erroneous perception that "real" tornadoes do not occur in Europe (or elsewhere where the term is applied).

Niwa says Kaitaia has had 54mm of rain in the past 10 hours, which is more rain than the town has had in total this month.
thats easily done as june has been dry up to now
and 54mm for the far north in 10 hours in very normal for this time of year for a northerly rain event
everything about this current weather system is very normal for the time of year
(the media are beating up though..ratings driven?)

A teacher friend in Kaitaia mentioned school shut and some pretty serious flooding there earlier today. Play the ball, not the 'man'

It's not been a big event for Northland by the looks.

June 2017 tracking to be below average for rainfall in Auckland?
