I watched the Americas Cup boats come into Auckland city yesterday evening from a friends place on top of Princess Wharf at the Viaduct. Could see the sea breeze convergence showers form to the SW and come north into the northeasterly.

A day of clagg with overcast conditions and anticyclonic gloom here today. The day did produce about 10 seconds of sunshine though, not enough to help ripen our outside tomatoes though. :(

Latest American model runs showing a significant MJO pulse and upper-level divergence entering the regional arena with a strengthening equatorial easterly in the Pacific. A wild early April for NZ if the pattern verifies, eastern OZ already seeing the affects of the strengthening easterlies.

Jeez I hope this comes off CT. This dry spell after the recent rain is crippling. Hard watching new grass shoots wilt away and newly germinated grass wilt and die.

I thought it may of been another claggy day but the low/middle range cloud did clear away to be it a sunny this afternoon, however the cloud did return later this afternoon and into the evening. Max was 18C when the sun did pop out.

I see there are some hints of rain in the modelling towards the end of the month. Had to start watering the garden again, getting quite dry.

Cool mornings but 26C highs forecast today and tomorrow here which is above average for getting late in March.
