Please post your weather reports for 26th June 2008, during the course of the day. You do not need specialist equipment, a look out of the window will do

Here we go...variable, very much so! WNW, gusting to 50 km/h in some places. Sunshine, rain, light hail, sun etc.

Far better than yesterday. I suspect it has gone more W or even WSW at this point as the wind is not very strong yet and skies are competely clear, and NOAA shows some sheltering as far around as about Wanganui.
Good for my overdue uphill walk.

Variable here, is how I would best say it! Sun/rain/sun/rain....

Not much wind today. I will check the airport AWS and the others and report back

Sun all day, my front porch felt quite hot for a time this afternoon. MTD should be about 110 hrs to 26th, a little above average, but the last 4 may add very little judging by the forecast.

Cape Egmont: 50 km/h SW, gusting to 62 km/h
New Plymouth Wastewater: 23 km/h SW, gusting to 46 km/h
