Fog now lifted from us, bathed in sunshine again up in the hills here, but can still see it's covering the valley below.
Our seesaw temperature is back up to 5.6°C now - should stay on an upward trend now with blue sky and next to no cloud.

Title: Friday’s national forecast
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 06, 2012, 07:12:54 PM

A few showers about the northern tip of Northland today with light southerlies. Morning showers clear about southern Taranaki and showers on the east coast of the North Island and Wellington ease to the odd drizzly shower in the afternoon with southeasterlies. Mostly sunny elsewhere with light winds and some cloud after a foggy start. High’s about Northland of 16 degrees, low double figure highs across the lower North Island.

A ridge lying over the South Island should bring mostly settled weather and sunny skies. Areas of cloud will still affect Southland however and along the coast north of Banks Peninsula but slowly dissipating during the day. Morning fog is possible again in Central Otago but should lift during the day. Temperatures in the high single figures for most areas however Nelson and down along the West Coast through to Hokitika should just get into the teens.

Title: Flights NZ-wide cancelled & delayed due to widespread fog
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 06, 2012, 07:23:27 PM

Updated 8:45am --- Thick fog has again disrupted flights at Auckland Airport along with Hamilton, Christchurch and Dunedin airports this morning.  Airport websites in Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch are all reporting flights cancelled or delayed due to fog with around 30 affected in Auckland alone.  Christchurch Airport's website said earlier that fog had delayed a flight from Dunedin too.

Many airports around New Zealand will be affected by Auckland's backlog.

In some parts of Waikato and South Auckland the fog has lingered for 36 hours.

As for the million dollar question - when will it clear?   WeatherWatch.co.nz head weather analyst Philip Duncan says it's all down to the wind.  "We need the breeze to move in and and clear this fog away - it failed to arrived yesterday in any widespread way across Auckland and Waikato which is why some areas never saw the fog lift".

As of 8:45am light winds were being reported - a good sign for clearing fog.

Aucklanders seem mixed about the fog this morning with some reporting it is thicker today where they are compared to yesterday - while others say it's much less.

Mr Duncan says the most recent forecast guidance data suggests the fog could linger again today in some inland areas but should clear from the airports this morning.

"It's frustrating not being able to give an exact time, forecasters all around the globe battle with fog predictions - it is a very delicate balance as to when it forms and when it clears".

WeatherWatch.co.nz said at noon yesterday that fog was likely to return to Auckland in the afternoon and linger until Friday morning.  The weather news authority says a south east breeze is predicted to move in but that Waikato and Auckland were currently being sheltered from this breeze.

It's not all doom and gloom, many flights are still operating as scheduled - please contact your airline or airport website directly for flight schedules.

Title: Weather starting to settle
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 06, 2012, 07:28:17 PM

We will find ourselves in between weather-makers today.  To our east, the low that crawled across the country over the last few days.

To our west, a big chunk of high pressure that will settle our weather as it continues to move across the Tasman Sea.

But for today, we are kind of caught right in between the two systems.  The result is a rather persistent onshore flow for the lower regions of the North Island.  It's because of this, that some unsettled weather is expected to remain in place today.

The best chance for precipitation will be for Wellington, Wairarapa and Hawkes Bay.  The southeasterly onshore flow will keep shower chances going for these regions for at least the morning hours.  A few showers may persist into the afternoon as well, however the shower chances should diminsish as we go through the day.

Fog will also diminish today.  The thick blanket of white soup that has done it's best to create plenty of travel headaches about the North Island was still covering much of the NI this morning.  The fog will clear as we go through the morning and early afternoon hours as increasing winds and drying air will support whatever daytime heating we manage to eke out.

For the South Island, a chilly day is expected.  A mix of sun and clouds will be found across most of the island.  Temperatures will struggle to break into the double digits in the deep south.  Even Christchurch may not hit 10.  It depends on how quickly the clouds break apart.
 
Highs on the North Island will range from around 11 in Wellington to the lower teens for the rest of the island.
