Re: General August Weather
Not necessarily, big vortex blow coming up Sunday-Tuesday with low snow levels but possibly not high quantities.

Re: General August Weather
The euro MJO forecast takes us from a brief period in phase 8 for the next few days (favouring low pressure systems), on a ride from phase 1 to 3 over the rest of August and into the beginning of September. This should favour decreasing west to southwest airflow (initially) and stronger high pressure in the Tasman and eventually over NZ (later).

Re: General August Weather
GFS has certainly gone mad. Seems so outlandish these days. Has a big Warm Advection Snow event for Canterbury on Sunday. Yet EC has a little more reserved version. Access and Euro all pointing towards the moisture laden low from the country around the top of the South Island. GFS has the same low crossing over Canterbury and firing good moisture. If GFS verifies we could have some problems. currently shows about 50cm for above 200m.

Re: General August Weather
CMC, Access, ICON, GFS all in alignment for a significant cut off low early next week. THK levels are interesting. Ensembles looking favourable. Plenty of yo-yo to go but something worth a watch.

Re: General August Weather
Some rain overnight but not as much as expected. More showery than rain with only 5.7mm falling.
Cloudy this morning but clearing away from noon. Fresh SW this afternoon for a while.
12.1C this afternoon in sunny conditions.
Fine and clear this evening with some frosting likely in exposed areas likely tonight.

Re: General August Weather
That GFS 18Z run just put 526 thickness around Auckland with some moisture early next Tuesday morning. From memory, the last time I saw that was 15th Aug 2011.

Re: General August Weather
After a frost this morning a blue dome day eventuated for while before some thin high cloud began to move in from the west. Some cirrus uncinus forms in the upper atmos earlier this afternoon moving north from the SW.
Today's maximum was 12.1C. Light NE winds.

Re: General August Weather
We flew into Wellington when the West coast/Marlborough had their very wet period, over the period WE 17th July..
The NW was quite strong and the ATR from Timaru was wobbling from side to side whilst coming into land. A few passengers threw up. Thank goodness they have sick bags for flight on aircrafts flying into Wellington.

Re: General August Weather
Looking like a day of rain showers for Chch and the coast. It has been a soggy week at times and the ground is quite saturated, so it's probably good if the weekend's precipitation largely avoids us.

Re: General August Weather
doesn't look like the SW wind is going to be as bad as the models originally had for Auckland for next 2 days (northland a bit stronger)
the southerly/SSE wind on monday night looks nasty though..and cold

Re: General August Weather
I thought we might hear thunder today but no storms developed, later Sunday is the next chance for thunder here. Tomorrow has been looking quite sunny but with a few showers around, fresh to strong southwesterly easing later.

Re: General August Weather
Some scattered cloud around today especially to the north of here where I believe it was raining. Southerly winds.
Cloud clearing away to the north in the afternoon with it becoming fine. 12.3C for today.

Watching a rapidly growing updraft to the south of Ashburton. Radar isn’t overly impressive yet.

Re: General August Weather
^ Observing at present a line of cloud with bubbly bits erupting, visible to the south.
Interesting enough to inspire me to bring in the ripe lemons *now* rather than waiting a couple of hours.
