Re: General August Weather
Had some briefly heavy showers and a bit of hail overnight in Akaroa, but fine this morning. Light dusting of snow above about 600m at first, but melted now.

Re: General August Weather
After a good frost this morning, a fine clear day eventuated although there were some lenticular clouds to the west late benign as we walked to the pub for the local quiz night. Today's maximum was 14.1C.
Nice sunny day to walk through Talbot Forest

Re: General August Weather
Dewpoint will only be 8C but if we can get a sunny that will help. 15C will produce 900 CAPE.

Not particularly interesting here with 4mm light to moderate rain this afternoon. Only got to 15C so not a lot of heating.

Re: General August Weather
The convergence is showing up over Northland on the radar.
I think it is our warmest day of the new season here today, fine with max around 19C.

Re: General August Weather
Spring has arrived all right. Now next Tuesday is the next front. And I doubt we get much from that. As the return of blocking anticyclones. Hopefully no big dries are on the way

Re: General August Weather
Slightly orangery skies here as a large scrub fire burns up in the McKenzie country somewhere near the Aoraki/Mt Cook turnoff.
Warm day here with the temperature peaking around the 24C mark.
