Anticyclones and southwest airflow should be the dominant feature until the end of the month when low pressure systems should dominate. So I would say dry for most areas.

American models are locking onto a high intensity cold shot on the opening day of October. Projecting a streaming upper trough that has origins from an upper cold core cyclone with a centre of -44c @500 hPa. NASA's GEOS is putting the 528 thickness line over Auckland Tuesday evening.

EC & UK not at that level at the moment.

Nothing much to speak off in the way of weather with the current system, just a bit of cloud and one heck of a cool down.

It's pretty chilly out there in Amberley. Some pretty dark clouds but the radar isn't showing much more than patches of rain.

Epic storm in Napier and I suspect Hastings. Looks like it snowed in the entire city from the amount of hail.

not many showers here today in the end
dew point relatively low and been dropping all day, as the airmass has originated in the southern ocean

Yes, quite a nice day in Auckland today with max 16C, not bad for a polar trough. I don't see much hope for good weather tomorrow though with a blustery SW/showery.
