Saturday and Sunday looks interesting still. Some cu about here today

Some T Cu and a Cb observed from here over South Auckland yesterday afternoon. See what the heating/ moisture does Saturday

Watching the Ak to Russell yacht race leave Ak this morning, currently very little wind, most years the yachts leave on a fresh southwest wind.

Gees you have sensors coming out your ears Brian

that is a true statement as I wear hearing aids now haha

next week is also looking good for north island convection:)

Reports of a funnel cloud behind Kerepehi yesterday at 2:30pm - www.facebook.com/groups/314183742796551 ... 3250527597

Quite humid and hazy here today. Humidity and dewpoint up and quite hazy. Got a real sweat up walking into town.

Excellent visibility currently in Auckland area
And to back that up my current air pollution level is zero

A little on the humid side here this morning, a bit fresher with clearing skies this afternoon, the airport catching a shower earlier with 5.2mm there.

Low cloud this morning clearing away to become a fine but hazy and humid day.
light NE.
Today's maximum was 20.3C.

Plenty of low level convergence over the central and eastern North Island today. Will create some afternoon thunderstorms in the last of the upper trough. Looks like an afternoon convergence shower possible for west Auckland.

But Auckland more into the upper ridge now but probably still be a convergence shower in the west this afternoon.

I will be going out west today so I will see what enventulates. Looks like another upper trough next week. So perhaps better chance for some thunderstorms across the north island next week. Perhaps Auckland too. Been enjoying looking at the unstable clouds around last few. Days.

was a nice sea breeze convergence shower line down the west coast here yesterday afternoon

Foggy earlier, now clearing quickly.
Light NW.
11.1°C

Was a thin fog here too and again also its cleared off quickly, currently 8deg

Unusually warm night for October with the temperature 16-17C all night

16C dp again here this morning, the sub tropical influence on our weather has come in early this year.

I see that the Tasman sea temperatures are warming up fast
could be another marine heat wave developing

A bit of fog/mist here too early this morning but becoming fine and hot here now, nearly 25C. Light northerly.

Today's maximum was 25.8C.

Deep red sunrise sky this morning; gentle NW breeze;
already 18.1°C

Set 2 more October records on my station yesterday. Highest daily minimum (16.4C) and highest daily mean temp (18.2C).

Also, 365-day rainfall is currently sitting at an all time low of 720mm, down 500mm on average for any given 365 day period

yesterday was 3.7C above my average (24h hour average). Amazing

This front tomorrow looks to be packing little to no punch for chch. Maybe 5mm if we are lucky?
