A mainly fine day here with light winds. A bit humid and hazy looking with various cloud forms in a very much La Nina looking sky between the 2 anticyclone systems covering the areas east and west of New Zealand/Aotearoa. A few spits of rain but nothing registering.
Today's maximum was 21.1C.

low cloud overnight cleared away to a fine but hazy day with light SE winds.
Lots of high to mid range cloud which could become thunderstormic inland the next coupla days if conditions exist.
Watch out Central Otago fruit growers.
Today's maximum was 21.1C.

Up in Arthur's Pass (since Sunday) and not paid much attention to forecasts other than here so it was a surprise to see today's thunderstorm risk. Looks like I might be on the fringes of it driving back to Chch this afternoon. Enjoy the show down south!

Could be thunderstromic in areas west of Oamaru at the moment.
Must be fine there to induce uplifts rather than the booring clagg we have around here.
Just lit the fire >_<
