Re: General October Weather
The first couple days look like mid winter for here, GFS showing around 12-13 degrees in the day time

Re: General October Weather
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.

Re: General October Weather
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.

Re: General October Weather
For Auckland looking like isolated storms/hail possible this morning with a weak front and then again this evening with a squally SW flow.

Re: General October Weather
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.

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

Re: General October Weather
Some interesting clouds down this way, better than yesterday.
Wouldn't be surprised if we got a small hail shower.

Re: General October Weather
I don't think I've seen an afternoon temperature like this in Napier before...

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

Drove through that just South of Hastings. Heavy rain and Hail temp showed 3 degrees in the car at one stage.

Re: General October Weather
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

Re: General October Weather
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.
