General November Weather

[tgsnoopy]

We made it to 29.6°C at 2.55pm yesterday. A nice day. Yesterday morning when I headed home it was 15.2° I was ok until I got up & stood still while talking, then the cold got to me, was ok when sitting, don't recall any breeze.

Cloud cover here this morning, GFS points to a sunny afternoon.

very milky looking sky yesterday and today, possible smoke from Aussie bush fires?

[Awhituobs]

only 18c here yesterday with fresh SW and cloud
cloud is lifting here now slowly, so might get to 20c
very smokey skies too

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Dry and breezy southerly through here just after 1pm.
Temperature dropped from 29.6C to 20.7C in less than half and hour.

the first week of December looks like a big strong spring type NW pattern over NZ

28 degrees in Lyttelton right now, fantastic boost from the NW before the southerly change comes along later.

Crikey that’s hot down Taupo way. We had a westerly wind today. We only made it to 24 but out of the wind it was hot.

Southerly just made it here, and the smoke is gone too.

Dry ground conditions here with 30mm this month, and looks to remain that way for the rest of Nov. Hopefully more precip in December as is often the case.

Yes the smoke in Picton was very thick this weekend, made the sun very watery. Clear sky but couldn't see any blue. Right down around the hill's of the sounds.

That has been the difference this time, normally the smoke is high up and the hills remain clear, this time was at ground level, I wonder why

...this could be an introduction to the December General Weather topic?

It was very Smokey here too yesterday. Was a great sunset here. Sunrise today looks like it could be good too.

The smoke seems to be 95% gone, stunner of a blue dome day. Wonder if my station will reach 30 today. Thought Nov 2017 and 2018 had some summer like days near the end, but my station got nowhere near 30.

My station hit 29.0 by 3pm but then some breeze must have arrived as it dropped to 27.6 within minutes. That's why temperatures over 30 are not common in the upper NI, odds are that some stage during the day a breeze that has been previously over water will arrive.

A little heat storm showing up around Mangakino. The high at nearby Tokoroa was 28C.

Yeah. Got a nice view of the coliflower cloudtops of that one from here. Hoping it might give a little distant lightning display after dark.

severe thunderstorm warning issued

[spwill]

That storm developed in warm upper level air.

[NZstorm]

Models had been making noise for an inland storm last few days. For example K index from 12Z gfs.
