First ten days of March look promising for low pressure systems in the north Tasman and north of New Zealand, but a bit of a lottery to know if they will generate significant rain at your place. Last two thirds of March more high pressure dominated.

Re: General February Weather
Strong cold southerly through here at 12.59pm as predicted. No rain yet. Sky quickly switched from a NW Archy looking appearance to 100% grey low stratus appearance.

Re: General February Weather
Been raining here, now for a while. Just come back from Temuka where a wattle tree came down over a few cars parked in a well known fruiterer/greengrocer's place on the north side of town. No damage was reported by he did say that it was a particular very strong gust of wind from the south.

Re: General February Weather
Storm params have somewhat weakened for the central and eastern north island on Sunday afternoon.
Upper temps should still be favourable for some Thundershowers and some localised heavy rain.
Hawkes Bay and BOP/Eastern Waikato seem to be the best chance, however there seems to be a more of risk that the global models arnt picking up well for the West Coast Sea Breeze convergence.
If SFC temps can budge the 27-28C mark, central to upper Waikato could be in a fairly good chance of a Thunderstorm.

Re: General February Weather
A miserable night in Wellington for the camping protesters, 38.6mm and 13C, that would be Winter weather in Auckland.
Slowly clearing in Wellington today, fine there Mon/Tuesday.
The eastern NI high country looking like the favoured place for a Tstorm today.

Re: General February Weather
Nice and sunny and warm this morning but high cloud moving across from late morning into a NW Arch. light winds.
Southerly came through at 5:30pm with associated low stratus moving across.
A reddish hue to the stratus cloud cover this evening as the sun set. No rain except for a scattering of drizzly mist this evening.
Today's maximum was 25.3C this morning.

Re: General February Weather
John - you often mention the NW Arch. What level would this cloud generally be at? Am I correct in thinking it would be medium (Ac or As) and/or high level cloud (Cir + Cs)?

I see Grey Lynn peaking at 29.6C, fine conditions. Our stable Summer continues while parts of eastern Australia have yet more Tstorms/flash flooding.

Re: General February Weather
I think the base is typically 15,000 to 20,000 feet, so definitely in the middle to high cross over zone. However, when a front is passing over it will lower to below the mountain tops so could be under 10,000ft for periods of time.Simon Culling wrote: ↑Wed 23/02/2022 01:56 John - you often mention the NW Arch.
