What's the Weather like at your place?

[Kiwithrottlejockey]

Lots of weather variety at the bottom of the North Island lately.

Wet and muggy on Friday, mostly cloudy and humid yesterday, and fine and humid today.


A very grey-looking Wellington Harbour early on Friday evening....










The eastern Wairarapa sky on Friday evening....




Wairarapa weather near Masterton late this afternoon....




Early evening weather in Wellington today....

Windy here right now, Ive just brought my tomato plants inside because theyre out in the open.

A bit of a mixed bag today. The weather was a mixture of clouds and blue sky this morning on both sides of the ranges at the bottom of the North Island. However, I got back to Wairarapa early afternoon and a receding thunderstorm was visible to the north and the ground was rather wet, but the sun was shining again. Late afternoon and early evening, it started to cloud over and get a bit cooler as a southerly began to pass through the region.


Autumn in Wairarapa this afternoon (after the thunderstorm)....






Now it's raining at my place!     

[Shef]

It's bloody freezing here (obviously I've become re-acclimatised to the HB warmth) and when I got home M S hadn't lit the fire. So now I have to wear sox and a jersey

[Brownie55]

Freezing cold, windy, raining, sometimes hailing.   

[Kiwithrottlejockey]

It's bloody cold at my place....I've turned the electric blanket on in my bed, and I've got heaters going!

I went to work this morning wearing shorts (and a thick jersey) and sat in a warm locomotive cab most of the day (mostly with just the window heaters going), but when I walked home early this evening, my legs got bloody cold. I think I've only worn long pants on about two occasions since late October, but I might have to dig some pairs out and start wearing longs more often unless the weather goes back to being an Indian Summer within a day or two.

Full Moon and a bloody  cold Southerly here in Wellington ....

[Nitpicker1]

Big wind from WSW with gusts to 57 kts...took a look at Tairoa heads wind data, about 65kts gusts there.

 A day or two ago a cruise ship was waiting to leave port, and a container vessel waiting to enter the harbour, dunno if they've made it yet. I can think of a better place than Port Chalmers to spend more than a night there.

[Shef]

Much better here today. The wind's a bit cold, but it's nothing like yesterday!
They're forecasting fine(ish) weather for the weekend  which is just as well. I have to move our lambs back home from the neighbour's. The downside of having semi-tame lambs means that moving them is not easy, and the dogs aren't much help at all, I think I'm going to have to spend some time training them instead of playing with them LOL.

It was rather chilly at my place last night; however after a cold start this morning, it turned into a nice fine day on both sides of the ranges at the bottom of the North Island.


Sunset in Wairarapa was behind the clouds this evening while I was driving a train from Wellington to Masterton.

However, I took the following dusk shots of a golden sky at Carterton while stopped there offloading passengers....








The next two photographs were taken from near Clareville. The lighting conditions weren't too good by then and a locomotive travelling at speed isn't a very stable photographic platform, so I used a sports action mode to compensate and this was the result....






It got even more colourful after that, but the light was definitely too dim to take photographs from a moving locomotive so I gave it away and concentrated on driving the train.

A beautiful autumn day at my place — blue skies, sunshine, no wind and with the temperature in the mid-20s.


A perfect morning for hot-air ballooning in South Wairarapa near Matarawa....

she should look like this again soon  :tntrm

[ssweetpea]

It is raining here and Sally is telling me about it - at length.

Is it just me or did Autumn arrive early this year as in the 3rd week in February?

Sp1's birthday was cold and wet.

[Shef]

LOL Nitz, so what would she have done if she'd managed to catch it
Do you have to blow dry her, or does she dry quite quickly?


Happy Birthday to SP1 :m&ms  hope she had a good day anyway!


Weather here has been awesome. Nice crisp morning ( I love autumn) and then a warm day, not a cloud in the sky. :dwfl

[Nitpicker1]

 She had no show of catching it, it was teasing her. She had to be hosed down then bathed and blow dried,. took more than 2 hours
It was quite a nice day here after yesterdays heavy drizzle but I didn't let her out of my sight. 

16c here at present, and  bit of a breeze about 12 kts. Mushrooms about and near frosts in the mornings on fine days. Boats haven't been out.

[dragontamer]

They said showers dammit.

SHOWERS.

It's bleeping canoning down.

[Calliope]

sunshine and clouds but I expect the rain is not too far away

[Nitpicker1]

  both cat and dog burrowed their way under the blankets into my bed last night and won't even get out now that I am. 4.3c

[Kiwithrottlejockey]

It pissed down all night at my place (and it's still pissing down). Still....the forecast is good for the long weekend, both here and where I'll be.

I'm heading over to Wellington this arvo, then after a couple of teenage boys fly down from Gisborne early tomorow morning, a group of us are off across Cook Strait to Picton and a weekend of classic aeroplanes at Omaka Aerodrome. Then, right down towards the bottom end of the South Island in an attempt to get as far away from the JAFAs as possible! The furtherest distance away from home will be Milford Sound.

My lot were all under the duvet all night. They only got up whe I put the heater on in the lounge.

[Magoo]

Perthistently pithing all night, cloud breaking, snow on the southern alps and currently 5 degrees.

[Lovelee]

My littlest dog always spends the night under the covers - Ive just been looking for her.
Shes still there - its 11.7 here hahaha.

Shes gonna feel it when it really drops - shes grown out of her jumpers too 

[Magoo]

I bought Berty a T shirt this morning and put it on him and he sat there looking peed off and wouldn't move till I took it off.   

[Lovelee]

When she was little I cut the sleeve off a jumper and cut holes in it for her legs 

She prefers to wear her raincoat which has sheepskin lining.  Other obes she comes to me and I know she wants it off - she will wear her raincoat all day quite happily.
