Nick Piper craigie again next week?

Charlotte Berry yup I'm off on a mission 😏. How's that cold of yours.....

cold grey nor west here

🌡⛅ A MILDER AIRFLOW TODAY – MID TEENS FOR MOST.

A broad area of low pressure in the Tasman will bring ‘waves’ of showers, hail and snow to the Main Divide over the next 36 hours but mostly fine and above average temperatures today for the Canterbury Plains & Coast.

➡️ A cooler southerly flow will develop tomorrow keeping temperatures on the cool side and we may see a few isolated showers about, with any precipitation falling as light snow showers about the higher eastern hills and ranges.

➡️ Get out and make the most of this more settled period of weather we’re seeing more active patterns as we push into early stages of September.

We've been inundated around potential snow and stormy weather? While the interest in weather is fantastic at all levels, especially at a business level it does come with some caution. At this stage there is nothing significant or rare about what's currently happening - whatsoever. Read more @ cwu.co.nz/news/weather-waffle-or-the-real-deal/ 🙂

Snowing on Lewis

Hope we get snow in Christchurch

Strong and gusty here again.... not overly warm either. A change in air flow would be nice A moister than average spring would be good here

Barometer is dropping a lot this morning!!

☀️ Current scenes at Mt Hutt - a small window in the weather today before more blustery nor-west winds move in tomorrow. A great day to hit the slopes ⛷

⛅Elsewhere its mostly fine this afternoon with a few a harmless cumulus clouds popping up.

📌 WEATHER ‘WAFFLE’ OR THE REAL DEAL?

We’re hearing a little about ‘significant winter stratospheric warming’ and associated cold and wet weather.

But does it carry any substance? Any practical implications – in short, no, not at this stage.
