Horray. This clagg producing anticyclone finally moving away to eventually producing a sunny fine day.
19.5C for today but with a cool easterly developing this afternoon.
Evening had an autumnal feel to it with clear skies.

Very autumn like here. Nearly 9am and it’s still thick pea soup fog. No sign of a sun yet.

Really hoping for some decent rainfall this week. Don’t think we have had rain for about 30 days.

Clear skies overnight but from morning it gradually clouded over with partly cloudy skies with sunny periods, however during the afternoon, back to cloudy conditions. Light winds from the SE. 17.1C the maximum for today.
Fine evening but with a thin Cs layer showing a weak halo around the moon.

Number 1 daughter took this photo today of what she thought was a impressive cloud, I couldn't believe she never noticed the two funnel clouds.

Some heavy rain settling into Napier, with flashes of lightning over the sea. Gisborne looks like it has had a very wet night. Going to be an interesting 24 hours.

Firstly, sorry a correction, that wasn't yesterday but last Wednesday gone I was later told, and I wasn't here that day either. Looking at the photo it looks close to have been overhead head our place.

Nice capture there Richard of those funnels. According to my records, it was an overcast claggy day here, so I don't know what it was like up your way.
Anyway, today here was another muggy day with low cloud overnight but clearing away around noon. Calm or light variant winds. Low cloud moving in again this evening. Today's maximum was 21.6C.
