Yet another front decaying

Not for the first time this week a front is sweeping up the country but once again it's looking fairly innocuous as it heads north.
This one might see a little more moisture however it is already breaking up this morning therefore Auckland shouldn't see much out of it. Isolated showers are more likely across many parts of the country today rather than an extensive band of rain or showers but if they do arrive they would be welcome in most areas.
Cooler air behind the front will be more noticeable over southern areas and temperatures are likely to fall short of the twenty degree mark in southern and eastern areas of the South Island.
"This time last week it was certainly warm so the last couple of days have been a little fresh" says Weather Analyst Richard Green."Still though the warmth looks set to return from Friday onwards with the return of sunshine if not as soon as tomorrow" he said.
"At the moment the two islands may as well be in two different countries as the temperatures have been poles apart" according to Head Weather Analyst Philip Duncan."The North Island yesterday remained in the twenties whereas Mainlanders were seeing more than half the centres staying in the teens".
Overnight lows were a little cool over the south but the north was fairly close to average if not a fraction higher in places.Warmest areas were over southern parts of the North Island with 17 degrees in numerous centres and the coolest centre was Timaru with 9 degrees.
The long range forecast through the weekend and early next week is looking relatively settled for many regions nationally and a handful of showers looks like the only outcome at this stage for those wanting something more substantial.

4.5mm here from a period of thick drizzle around 2pm :)
it looks like it weakened more as it moved inland

We would love to have received what was predicted as badly needed here too - but as you say it did not eventuate - not even a drop of it. It has been cold though.

Quite cloudy this morning with the Sun just peeping through the clouds occasionally and with the cloud a lower temperature but still in the 22:0c to 24:0c range. Did not look much like we would get any rain at all but by late morning a shower had developed on the Kaimai’s, took a while to get to us but we had a decent shower that lasted for about 5 – 10 Minutes which registered in my gague as 0.9mm, we subsequently had a couple of short periods of drizzle that did not register at all and that was it, rain over, front gone.
