The clear sky has clouded over fully and the O/N low of 6.1ºC has risen to a lowly max 14.8ºC and retracted some - far from my forecasted high of 20ºC!  The wind is a steady NNE at 8 - 18km/hr gusting to 35km/hr at times.  The wife would say "It's cold"!

Mostly cloudy for western areas of the North Island today but the odd sunny break at times, the odd shower north of Auckland during the day with a low risk of one or two getting into western Bay Of Plenty, the Waikato and Taranaki at times. Rain will start to push into western areas overnight from Taranaki through to Northland. On the east coast and about Wanganui through to Wellington in the west expect mostly sunny weather with some cloud and north to northeasterly breezes.
 
Areas of rain on the West Coast of the South Island with north to northeasterly breezes, heavy rain moves into Fiordland from late afternoon with thundery falls possible then this area of heavy rain moving north to reach Buller at night. Becoming cloudy about Nelson from morning with northerlies, the odd shower at times from midday turns to rain at night.
 
Mostly fine and sunny along the east coast, northwesterlies inland and winds tending a little more northerly along the coast itself. Temperatures will be warm and mild, expect some high cloud. Fine in Southland with some cloud and light northerlies after any morning rain clears, west to southwest winds freshen in the evening with a few showers which spread into Otago later. Cloudy about inland western Otago with showers from late afternoon or evening.
 
Temperatures today of 13 to 14 in Nelson and along West Coast, 18 to 20 from Southland through to Blenheim. High teen readings are likely this afternoon along east coast North Island and from Wanganui through to Kapiti. Mid teen temperatures for elsewhere in the North Island.

There isn’t a lot of interesting weather going on today, it is nice and sunny for some and that can be interesting enough, actually quite warm here in Canterbury which I’m enjoying. As has been mentioned through the WeatherWatch.co.nz facebook page we can see that different aspects of weather affect certain people differently. Some like it sunny all the time, some like it when it rains, some like thunderstorms, there’s probably some who like it foggy, sounds unlikely but they must be out there. Actually photographers on a misty foggy morning taking a photo of silhouetted trees through the fog, yes there is weather for everyone it seems.

Thought I would go through one of my favourite types of weather while we are in a lull of non interesting weather today, thunderstorms of course. A chase I did with a friend Stephen Burrows back on the 5th January 2006. I still remember it very well.

I finished work that day and Steve and I headed south to Ashburton, we drove inland a little and waited around while looking about at the sky. Nice big clouds were going up but nothing had really triggered, a trip to KFC in Ashburton was in order to get a twister combo each. Makes sense when chasing thunderstorms and this combination has proven to work well in the past. We then drove down to the Ashburton River mouth, we knew something could happen but we just had to wait. We waited till 9.40pm there then all of a sudden an easterly wind really started to pick up near the coast and a cloud inland started to grow.

We headed off after this thing and not long after lightning was shooting out of this cloud and we followed this storm for around an hour from memory. It might not have been as severe as the thunderstorm that moved over Christchurch on the 4th September earlier this month but the lightning photo’s I got from it are some of my best.
