Observation for 26th December 2012:
This period of Weather is now past the normally expected three day “easterly storm” status that we usually get here but have not seen many of for a year or three.  Day 4:  Warm, humid with rain at times, especially morning and evening.  The wind has now backed up into the North.  The good news is that the dry spell has well and truly ended and the water tank continues to fill.  We ventured out into the madness that is the Boxing Day sales today to go to Bunnings Warehouse to spend the Christmas Gift cards we had been saving up and believe it or not we left in the Cloud and rain and were greeted by Blue Skies and almost Sunshine at Mt Maunganui.

Current Recordings 21:23
Temp: 19.2c Steady, Humidity99%, Rain: 15.8mm, Average Wind Speed (10 Mins) 6km/h NNE, Pressure 1011.9 hPa and Rising.

Wednesday’s national forecast
« Reply #11 on: December 28, 2012, 09:57:42 PM »
Posted by wwadmin on Wed, 26/12/2012 - 05:00

A weak area of low pressure that once was TC Evan moves eastwards over New Zealand today. Most places look set to receive some rain although the far south is expected to remain mainly dry after a few morning showers clear.
 
Upper North Island
 
Cloudy with patchy rain or drizzle, humid northerly breezes tend a little more northwesterly in the afternoon. About Auckland and the Waikato a few showers may become heavier for a time later in the afternoon. High cloud in Gisborne with northerlies.
HIGHS: 23-26, 28 in Gisborne
 
Lower North Island
 
Sunny areas to start in the morning south of Taranaki and Hawkes Bay, winds from the north or northeast. Cloud building by midday with the odd isolated shower developing, showers becoming more widespread during the afternoon and some may be heavy and thundery in inland areas then easing at night. Winds change southerly in Wellington around midday bringing cloudy skies and a few showers after a sunny start.
HIGHS: 27-30
 
Upper South Island
 
Cloudy with rain or showers, winds generally from the south for most. Dry at first in Marlborough however clouding over and some rain developing during the afternoon as southeasterlies freshen. A few falls may be heavy about inland areas north of North Canterbury late afternoon then easing at night. About Hokitika through to Westport expect morning showers then sunny breaks gradually increase through the afternoon with southwest breezes.
HIGHS: 20-23 on the West Coast. 24-27 for Nelson and Marlborough, 19-21 in Canterbury
 
Lower South Island
 
Cloudy to start with a few showers clearing by midday, sunny breaks increase in the afternoon. Southwesterly breezes. Becoming quite cool at night.
HIGHS: 17-18, 21-23 in inland areas.

Boxing Day thunderstorm threat
« Reply #12 on: December 28, 2012, 10:14:24 PM »

The low that used to be Tropical Cyclone Evan is making its second pass over the country today. This time though, instead of moving east to west across the upper tip, it’s moving west to east across the central New Zealand.
 
It’s that track that is helping to set the stage for a few rounds of thunderstorms in the central part of the country today.
 
Forecasters say the greatest risk for seeing thunderstorms will be found about the areas seeing some of the hottest and muggiest conditions right now. That means Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa, Marlborough, Nelson and Buller will all have a pretty good chance at seeing thunderstorms today.
 
This doesn’t mean that thunderstorms are a sure bet in these areas.
 
WeatherWatch.co.nz Forecaster Howard Joseph says that because it is so hot in some places, it could actually prevent thunderstorm development.
 
Mr Joseph calls it a "capping inversion". He says it’s situation that develops in the upper atmosphere when the air temperature actually starts to get warmer as you go higher, rather than getting cooler.
 
He says "This effectively puts a “lid” on the atmosphere and doesn’t allow for any further vertical development. It’s this upwards building of the clouds that is key to thunderstorm development."
 
But Mr Joseph adds "With the support of the incoming low, I think it’s more likely that thunderstorms will develop and the development of a capping inversion won’t be much of an issue."
 
Thunderstorms are also possible about Taranaki, Waikato, and the West Coast.
