General September Weather

[Richard]

Yes, NW grand central as I refer to it, but one area that seems to get more is the Weka pass road just as you leave the flat, so often windy as there.

Lucky you are down stream from the highest part of the Southern Alps John.
Wouldn't want this wind to be any stronger otherwise damage would be happening.

Just as I posted my earlier message, a westerly wind picked up here and the temperature shot up to just over 20C.

A big spread in temperature showing across NZ tomorrow at the 850mb level.

GFS showing 5 degrees with rain here first thing on Tuesday morning... certainly would be more wintry than anything we had so far this year!

See what conditions are like here on Tuesday morning but 5C with rain in Auckland would be the coldest wet weather I can remember for Auckland apart from the day snow flakes were observed in 2011.

There was a day between 2008 and 2010 (not sure on year or month) that it was bloody cold rain in Auckland. I remember it well. Think about 7-8 degrees in grey Lynn with rain all day.

A fine blue dome day with a bit of a westerly kicking in after lunch. Not quite a frost this morning.
Today's maximum was 20.5C after the westerly kicked in after a calm morning.
A bit of a southerly this evening which cooled temperatures down but then it reverted back to the north with some cloud moving in later this evening.

8.8c and raining here...but it should warm up as we get into the NE flow
but then get cold again in the SE flow !

A friend has just reported it snowing at sea level at Portobello in the Otago Peninsula, and here in Mosgiel we just had a graupel shower come through.

[Orion]

Noting that yesterday it was calm when I left Ashburton at 11:30am;
drove into NW wind at Lagmhor (130m asl) en route to Westerfield (166m asl);
met Methven Spy who reported it had also been calm there (320m asl) at 11:30am.

NW must have touched down just in that particular area/altitude.

Was a beautiful blue dome day, sky getting a bit hazy later.

Today: looks like a south-easterly now, clouding up, and temp. 9.7°C

Can confirm snow to sea level on the other side of the harbour from Portobello as well.

Pretty solid rain with 11C here. But I see it’s forecast to rise to 16 later

[Awhituobs]

still only 8.9c here and heavy rain now (after midday)..that is miserable for us (and with a fresh easterly blowing)

[Razor]

I see GFS looks to want to put a dusting of snow on the ground for ChCh tomorrow morning. No one else does, although it may be implied in the MS computer output too.

[cbm]

Didn't come close to a single digit high day all official winter so ironic to get one in September which seems highly likely now.

We’ve hit 40mm for the 8 hrs since 6am. Temp now soaring to 12.3c

[David]

18.5C in Whangarei, 8.9C in Hamilton!

[darcyplumb]

4.9C here with sleet falling. Quite chunky on the windscreen.

[Orion]

^ Ya, my Westerfield Spy just reported "blodging on windscreen".

5.4°C here in Ashburton.

[Awhituobs]

our temperature warm up didnt last
now back down to 10.9c
but I see Ricky is on 15.5c
so that is a big difference over a short distance!
also barometer is now 989hpa here..so that this low deepened fast!

[Tracy Herbert]

Sleet in Methven and 3 degrees

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Had a shower before with some small wintry hail with it.
