Thick fog and hill mist here this morning, with airport disruption. Interesting transition from warm sunny WNW yesterday to a calm clear sunset with a noticeable rise in dampness, to this am. Looks like classic advection fog with a steady SE drift across Obs./Cable car upper terminus areas. Some bright sunshine breaking through now in parts, esp. in the west. I think it will all be gone by noon or soon after.

Saturday night's min. was 12.8C, record high as noted before was 14.0.

The day is getting nicer by the hour- around 18 degrees, lovely sunshine, great to be outside again!
I suspect some cloud will arrive a little later though.
I wanted the figures for the city reporting station for the past 24 hrs, so I can continue my informal comparisions with the AWS but it's NA, drat it.
BTW Saturday's minimum was 12.5 degrees C at the AWS here.

Tokoroa - changeable day here, mild this morning - a low of about 10.8 with 13.6 by 9am. It cleared and became very promising with light high cloud and then it clouded over, fully overcast and just started raining - I guess the drizzle finally got measured by 13:00. Rose to 15.6 and now 14.4. SE last 24hrs.

Lovely afternoon after 11.15 fog clearance from the city, may have been a bit later in outer harbour and airport. Still feels nothing like winter.

Just as your afternoon went well, myne became dark and threatening. A few spits of rain and then by 2pm the Sun had gone. Not much wind, though and it remained warm- up to about 18 degrees. By 4pm it had become very dark with light rain.

It is- and proves my faith in predictive statistics, that it has potential! LOL I sound like a raving nutter!
