Another stunning day in Waiheke Island
16c and sunshine and no wind all day

After a good frost, possibly the best so far this winter, the NW cloud cover kept the temperature around 1C until the afternoon, when a bit of a NW warmed the temperature up slightly to today's maximum later this afternoon. 11.5C it got up to eventually.
Not much wind for today. Light NW this afternoon.

Windy day here with strong to gale NW winds. 4.5mm of overthrow rain. Mild conditions with today's maximum was 15.4C.
Winds easing this evening.

The current mild weather gives way to plenty of cold weather around NZ for the next week.

Reached 20.8deg about an hour ago, I dont remember it getting past 20deg in July before.

Correction, that was Waiau's page I had up, not here. 18 deg was the max

Meanwhile, it is 6.2°C here now, has fallen away from ~ 9°C earlier.

Rain overnight and this morning but gradually easing later this afternoon. South to SW winds becoming calm this evening.
25.3mm of rain for today. 13C maximum for today but only 8C this afternoon.

lots of rain Waiheke island
been training shower lines for a couple of days now in the northerly flow, originating from eastern Northland, hitting Waiheke island straight on

Bit of an unusual combo here this morning with patchy rain and fog. 18mm in the manual gauge since 6pm.

Another 32mm here so far since last night... (mtd 177mm).

I'm currently at the NW end of Waiheke in front of Oneroa (in the summer months I'm inland of Palm Beach).
Note that a couple of PWS's just a few km further east around Onetangi recorded at least 45mm since last night.

we took the dogs we are looking after for a walk on Oneroa beach when the rain stopped at lunch time today
lots of nice beaches to walk a dog

Cloudy and a grey cold day with light southerlies with the occasional light rain or drizzle. 9C the maximum for today with 8.5mm of rain.

Flooding at the street end of my cul-de-sac this morning in central chch. Been very strong gusts from the SW and around 36mm of rain. Hopefully it eases off soon.

With around 150mm of rain for July already at Christchurch Airport and another 60mm approx forecast next week Christchurch will be going very close to its wettest July recorded at this rate…

4.9°C on my thermometer at the moment and the clouds seem to have a yellowish cast which often means "snow"

Just checked my manual gauge and we’ve had another 29mm in the last 48 hours on already sodden ground

Sodden ground here as well, 30mm for here since yesterday, and as Bradley pointed out another dollop next week

Hey Nev, your Island does not exist!

I just noticed lol

40.1mm of rain from this system at the moment.Sill drizzling and blustery South Easterly. Ground still as saturated as it was after the last event.

The wind certainly kicked in this morning in Wellington. Baring Head weather station has been averaging over 70knots for the last hour with gusts up to 85knots! (Via the Centreport website.
The Bluebridge ferry made a wise Nope and headed back to Picton. But the interislander is giving it a crack!

Frequent but lighter showers continuing in Chch this afternoon, after heavy rain earlier. Reports of snow as low as 300m near Akaroa this morning.

Higher snow levels around here though, looks around 400-500m
