Thanks for that Suezy - I'm sure you shared some on Ruapehu and Tongariro for us as well - we can sure feel it!! An overnight low of 1.8ºC in the centre NI today - at 7:30am, with clear blue skies and a Sou-Easter that suddenly turned Westerly at 9:30 today and moved around some. Now around 10km/hr from NW and 18.4ºC at 12:20. Partly cloudy now too. Light juvenile cumulus.

Clear this morning turning cloudy now ;)
Cold this morning too.

[Southwest Gales]

21c here now overcast now with the Usual SW the only direction it can ever blow,at least the last 4 months when there has been a wind.

[Derek]

Seems like the SW is blowing everywhere else but here, our ESE is gently disturbing the leaves on the ground - though it is picking up and we've recently had a gust of nearly 18 km/h. It has been partly cloudy with sunny periods, but now has clouded over completely, temperature has dropped from 20.1°C to 18.3°C and still falling.

[Phil]

we have a NE breeze here, 19.8 degrees, have cleaned up driveway after storm, at least we did not have any trees come down this time.
(see my report in thunderstorms)

[David]

A fine morning but becoming cloudier, overcast this evening with a moderate SW breeze (maximum gust 42km/h).
Sure has felt a lot cooler. High of 21.8°C
