It better be "nice" in Auckland next week. The little sheep is coming to the Big City to work for the week.
Are you guys going to treat me to a big fat North Island thunder storm?

There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

There was some drizzle forecast for Canterbury early today, and yes it did occur, though only slight stuff along with low cloud in Chch. In fact some more light (ie not enough to dampen anything) drizzle continued to blow in from the northeast near Akaroa in a gusty northeaster. But the day happened to be only partly cloudy. I believe the low cloud in Chch might've persisted through the day.

Cheers Brian, if I'm not lost, crying somewhere, stuck in the wrong lane on the motorway, or of course not too busy with work, I'd love to catch up.Manukau heads observer wrote:if you ever want to get out of the big smoke into some nice country side, then you are welcome to visit me here....

I've just about finished mapping all of NZ now, including an up-to-date Auckland make sure you bring your Legend! It won't help you pick the correct lane in the motorway though!Fujita Phil wrote:... if I'm not lost, crying somewhere, stuck in the wrong lane on the motorway, or of course not too busy with work, I'd love to catch up.

Dunno if this is worth posting but there are some nice looking buildups happening in aucks at the mo.
Obviously to do with the shallow trough over the NI today which is sposed to bring some showers.
Man its hot outside!!
MHO - the seven day prognosis seems to support what your saying, lets hope for a weekend of crackles and flashing lights!

I'd quite like to see the profile of the cloudform moving towards the city from the west right now.. its inky black from below so there must be a lot of moisture there.. DP of 15 and temp 22 here..
The midday sounding shows it would probably only be up to about 2500m before the general inversion, could that trough cause any abberations to this?
love some expert opinions and where the thresholds for precipitation may be...

Gidday guys,
Its really hot here as well...over 27C recorded on the farm and not a breath of breeze for most of the day...just started to pick up now...
Some dark rain clouds around, and boy, we could use some rain to recharge the roof tanks and freshen the pastures a bit!!! (farmers are never happy!)
I notice the Auckland Airport METAR is showiung showers in the vicinity, so I hope some get up this way!
Brian, hows the water on your farm looking?
