Re: General April Weather
Been up to 22.5C here today. Normally not much to talk about for April, but with the below average temperatures we've been having it's actually our highest temperature for the month

Re: General April Weather
Yes, I noticed that. Looked like there could of been something around here, this afternoon, but sadly, nothing
I was in Timaru today and it did look quite dark way to the south with quite a disturbed looking westerly sky, with lots of dark patches, which could induce instability.
Nice and warm here today, this morning before the thicker high cloud cover moved over. Westerly winds.
Here is a picture of cloud that a lightning bolt could of come through, but sadly nothing

Re: General April Weather
Looks as though the month will end as it began, with strong cold southwest airflow due tomorrow, snow in the far south and on the SI ranges, and near gale winds along the east coast. A sign of things to come perhaps, with increased southwest airflow likely to be a feature of the next couple of months.

Re: General April Weather
Its a pitty tomorrows front isnt better timed, the strong southerly will be through christchurch just after 9am.
Quite a quick moving punchy front though, heavy rain for a time and southerlies up to gale force in the afternoon.
Looks also to be some trailing back ender chain showers for the city and peninnsula in the evening that might lead to Hail.

Re: General April Weather
A little cb popped up off to the north-east of me this afternoon at 3:27pm - it was probably somewhere around the north shore
