Waitakere
Clear conditions overnight have resulted in a chilly morning - its 3.1°C here at the moment and may drop another 0.1°C yet. There will be frost in the valley for sure.

6.07 am - indeed... a few minutes later now and we're down to 3.0°C

a fresh southerly breeze kept the temps from dropping too far in Reefton.
currently -0.5°C. wind did disappear for an hour or so around 5am allowing temp to drop to our low of -1.8°C.
forecast is for fog, but ironically, we actually don't have any this morning.

Getting ready for a cold night in Waitakere, we're down to 5°C which is about 3.5°C lower than the same time yesterday. If it stays clear it could be down below 3°C overnight here.
Got to a high of 12°C today.

A mostly sunny day in Howick, just a few clouds in the afternoon which cleared again by dusk. Chilly SSW wind. Max temp was 12.1°C, now down to 6.8°C already

Even I think this is cold, and that’s saying a lot. After having been raised in temperatures cold enough to freeze water pipes (literally), I can take a lot of cold. But today, I have to admit it; I’m cold.

Of course, it's not just the air temperatures today. It's the wind too.

That wind is a double-edged sword. It was enough to keep frost from forming early this morning. It kept the air mixed up nicely so the coldest air didn’t settle into the valleys overnight. But it sure does add an extra bite to the air. It almost feels like if you sit outside long enough today, you will end up looking like our friend in the homepage image for this story.

Ok, so it's not THAT cold.

And, of course, I am speaking from the perspective of someone who lives in the Waikato. Your conditions may vary. However, most of New Zealand today is seeing temperatures in the 8-14 range. And not everyone is seeing the same blustery conditions. That wind chill factor is a real factor in factoring just how cold you feel.

It also worth noting that this is not the first blast of winter this season, especially for South Islanders. So that may colour your perception of today’s weather.

So how are things by you this afternoon?

Temperature down to 2.9°C in Waitakere now - will be interesting to see how much lower we get, it's falling quite steadily at the moment so could get down closer to 2.5°C or even less (1.3°C is my station record low).
