Title: NZ broken into three sections Today 4th July 2012
Post by: JennyLeez on July 04, 2012, 11:28:43 AM

One end of the country is mild with sub-tropical downpours, the other end has severe frosts and in the middle?...well they're a bit of both.  New Zealand's weather is creating three quite different zones across the country as a large low in the Tasman Sea continues to slowly feed rain over the North Island - while a high in the south keeps those rain clouds away...for now.
Today over New Zealand again the top third of the nation will experience fairly mild conditions.  Whangarei's predicted high is 17 degrees and some pockets may reach the late teens. Auckland is heading towards 16 degrees - a big jump from just a high of 11 degrees last Saturday.
Showers and dry, sunny, spells are expected in the north west flow.  Rain and cloud will push into eastern areas too with some heavy falls.
Through central New Zealand there will be a combination of wind, cloud and some rain or showers - but a repeat of Auckland's dramatic flooding yesterday is not expected in other main centres through central New Zealand.   It wont be as warm for this group either, with Wellington going for 11 degrees and Christchurch just 7 degrees.
Meanwhile Southland and Otago will spend another day mostly in single digits after more severe frosts - but blue skies are also likely for most centres except in the east where some cloud is likely with a low risk of a shower for Dunedin today.
Weather Watch.

Bit of a grey day in Waitakere, though the odd peek of sunshine in the afternoon helped the temperature get up to 13.9°C for the high.  That's down to 8.5°C now with 1.8 mm of rain so far.

Title: Wednesday’s national forecast
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 04, 2012, 09:45:01 PM

A mixed bag today with a weak ridge lying over the south of the South Island and a low stretched across the North Island.

Cloudy periods with a few isolated showers from northern Waikato through to Northland, light northwesterly breezes. A few sunny spells also, one or two showers could be heavy in the afternoon with a low risk of thunder north of Auckland. A mix of sunny periods and some cloud about the Bay of Plenty, through the Central North Island and across to Taranaki with light winds. The east coast will be fairly damp with periods of rain and breezy southeasterlies south of Gisborne. High’s upwards of 17 degrees in Northland and a cooler 12 to 13 degrees about the east coast.

Westland, Southland and Central Otago continues the run of sunny weather with light winds after a frosty start, perhaps some cloud about Buller with breezy southeasterlies there. Some cloud at times along the Otago coastline with light northeasterlies, cloudy in Canterbury with drizzle patches or light rain at times north of Ashburton. Marlborough and other areas about the top of the South Island can expect a mostly cloudy day with southeasterly breezes and scattered rain or drizzle patches. 12 to 13 degrees can be expected on the West Coast, high single figure temperatures for most other areas perhaps cracking double digits about Nelson and Marlborough.
