General February Weather

[NZstorm]

Fairly cloudy morning here too. There was puddles about earlier this morn and Ricky's weather station was showing 1.4mm, so some unexpected showers overnight.

35C forecast for Alexandra today! Central Otago wine vintage should be good this year given the hot summer. Looks like a southerly changes races up the east of the country tomorrow with coastal drizzle. May see isolated heavy showers over the upper NI on Monday with the easterly surge.

[Manukau heads obs]

we had 1mm overnight as well..some sort of convergence against the late southerly sea breeze?

[snowstormwatcher]

Overcast here had some light drizzle first thing this morning currently 20 degrees mild overnight low of 15 degrees.

its not far at all,though you get all seasons depending where you are and what the weather is on a given day over that hours trip.You will find the westerlies are quite good there but on the otherhand the southerlies are rawer/wetter and less Sc in anticyclones.

Hi folks.. Finally found my way back.. Have shifted from Levin to Wellington..

And its a gorgeous day here..

Wellington mean sunshine is much higher than that at Levin - margin is over 200 hours.

May see isolated heavy showers over the upper NI on Monday with the easterly surge.

I agree
Northland may get some on Tuesday.

There was a light shower here around 6pm.. didnt register anything in the nylex but it was nice enough to stand outside & cool off in it a little.

Only going by what my Davis VP2 is telling me....says DP is 14 currently, been as low as 12.3 or so. I'm not disbelieving it as it doesn't feel humid to me...

[Dale Small]

Bit of TCu floating around the place, noted in the the ATIS at the airport too.
Might get a shower out of it this arvo, pretty much carbon copy of yesterday.

Warm n humid in Wellington again.. Dont have any flash equiptment to give you all a proper reading..

Actually, this is quite strange isn't it...here's my graph of temp/DP today:

But Auckland Airport indeed had DP's 16-19 today http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/NZAA.html
My DP is 17-18 again now...

Can anyone explain this difference?

[snowstormwatcher]

Drizzle here at the moment with a moderate southeast wind. Cool as well for this time of year currently 10 degrees.

[NZstorm]

We may get some deep instability over the Auckland region today if there is plenty of surface heating. Should sea a sea breeze front develop which may push up a cb or two. The high cloud coming up from the south is a big negative though and may spoil the potential.

[David]

Another warm summer's day here, though quite a bit of cloud around again. 22°C currently

edit: 8 mins later it's 24°

[Richard]

27C two days now in a row but starting to get really dry by the look of the country side,looks good for some tomorrow.

[David]

It reached 27.2°C here today. Very dry conditions.

[spwill]

A warm period of weather for Auckland over the past few weeks with generally above average temps, el nino has been kind to us.

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Some Relief on the way for the West Coast of the South Island. I know from relations that their Water Tank is near empty in Westport, couple of systems should bring some welcome rain to the area. Lovely afternoon here after the usual morning cloud cleared. No rainfall since Jan 23rd here. Looks like a rapidly deepening low passing over central NZ after the weekend early next week, should be short lived but could pack a punch.

[spike_01]

The day has dawned bright in Wellington.. However there is supposed to be some rain later.. I didnt think there would be, so we will have to wait and see.

[DT-NZ]

Morning,

Currently 18.1 C out - blue sky's and lot's of sunshine.

[David]

Is this a lenticular cloud in the eastern sky of Auckland this morning?

[jamie.h]

Im now a proud owner of a canon 50d i picked up cheaply on trademe. cant wait to pick it up on sunday and even better i cant wait to take it to USA in april.


it was such i nice day today.. not once did i feel uncomfortable about the heat. 1st day in a long time i have not felt HOT!

Im heading up the Tutukaka coast this weekend (havnt been there since i was about 13) so it will be nice to see the place again but also see how dry the north is. as DT has said in off topic yet another fire up there today. not good news at all.

[snowstormwatcher]

Overcast here has some drizzle 2.5mm cool for this time of year high of only 14 degrees.
