A big high is set to come in for this long weekend....
i,.e cold clear weather....
with strong southerlies/ SWer's prior to the highs arrival....i.e it might be sunday or monday until these SW/S erlies finaly get replaced by this high though...?

traditionaly Queens birthday weekend is usualy wet,and brings in the winter rain systems....but not this one!

We can only hope so-NZ weather can change at the drop of a hat.

It would be nice to have the long weekend fine but the reality here is gusty W-SW winds,rather cold 100% cloud cover,plenty of rain showers

Beautiful day here,temp maxed at 23 on Friday,should be close to that today.
The snow is sure melting fast on those hills,with the westerly conditions at the mo.
cheers.

Its definitely "The Pits" here

its a watery sort of sunshine here now looking West its hazy due to the low cloud and its blowing quite a gale-Wellington should "do us in" as well as the all the eastern areas.

Micheal

You should move to Auckland. We do not get the southwester nearly as bad here.

In Auckland we have been averaging 5knots all day, have not had any precip, sunny spells and 18C. Not bad.

For Manukau observations I look at the airport. 18knots average, 16C showers. Yes there has been showers down your way all day according to airport obs.

I know the NE here doesn't blow as bad as it can get on the shore or even in the city but the rain here has stopped in the meantime(it last rained about 10am)-Our SE only blow hard when theres more of a depresson circulation confined in a low to the north of us rather than a broad flow(if you know what I mean)-The NW we don't really get here but we have had gusts from that direction just before a front with a WSW change.

For Auckland weather this observing site in Grey Lynn looks representative.

Currently averaging 06knots, compared to the airport on 17knots.
Maximum temperature today was 18.3C, low 13.3C.
