Well, here we are at Solstice time. 7 degrees at 7.45am. Nice sunrise, though some high cloud around. Almost dead calm. Excellent visibility over the sea, to the north. Mountain clear.

Similar morning here, low of 8.6 degrees at 9am barometer dropping slowly. Looks like its going to deteriorate later in the day.

I think you are right, Luap...NZ could be in for some interesting stuff in a day or two- though I don't know if it will affect you or me that much

The day is lovely and sunny now. Hard to believe that we have a heavy rain warning for tomorrow!

Finally broke out of the "hook" cloud formation, bright and sunny with just a few passing clouds. Often the kind of improvement that occurs between stable anticyclonic conditions and any deterioration.

Like the calm before the storm...

Low here overnight was 5.3 at 7:30am and a peak of 13.9ºC at midday in variable skies. But as you say, the wind has dropped and the sky has cleared with a thin high scattered cloud layer.

Baro is dropping steadily - 2.2hPa in last 3 hrs; 1021.3 here now.

Peaceful - just shifted two heaps of split firewood closer to the house - under cover. Now to get the fire lit, and get settled for the evening...

Last nights storm was some 120 miles-ish to my northeast this time Tom

Thunderstorms must arrive soon! We had some forecast for the 22nd- none have arrived that I am aware of though.
