These are your minimum temperatures since midnight. It's been a warm night, with only a few places dipping below 10 degrees!
It's looking to be a muggy day for the North Island, with humid northerlies bringing rain for most, as well as possible ern and central parts.
In the South Island, drizzly conditions will be the theme today in eastern areas. The place to be is the West Coast, with a sunny ☀️ and warm day ahead!

👀 Take a look at this cool satellite loop 🛰️
Over the Tasman Sea, you can see clouds curling around two separate areas of low pressure creating these distinctive swirling patterns. ☁️🌀
The larger, more obvious swirl is moving towards Aotearoa New Zealand, bringing rain 🌧️and estern parts of the South Island tonight. Meanwhile, the smaller, harder-to-spot swirl is expected to bring some rain to northern parts of the North Island tomorrow morning. 🌦️
These cloud patterns are a great example of how we can use satellite imagery to track weather systems as they move towards us. 🗺️

Plenty of clear skies this morning 🌤️, although a little bit of early morning fog in the valleys. The satellite image below shows some cloud in the west, associated with a few showers. 🌦️
The main weather feature for today is waiting in the wings just to the y (seen as the white and red cloud band in the satellite image just off Stewart Island). This is a cold front, and it will make an appearance on the lower South Island through the second half of the day. Expect strong northwesterly winds just head of it, rain along the front, and cooler southwesterlies behind. 💨→ 🌧️→🥶

🌡️ Did you know? That yesterday Dunedin saw its warmest night in October in 54 years. Smashing previous records out of the park! 📈🔥
However, those warm and cosy temperatures were short lived. The passage of a front has plummeted Dunedin temperatures from a high of 26°C ed high of just 13°C today. And an overnight minimum temperature of 6°C. ❄️
What a temperature rollercoaster! 🎢🌦️

☀️ It's a repeat of yesterday! And the day before.... and the day before. 😴
Settled conditions continue across the country today as a ridge of high pressure continues to dominate. 🌤️ Some areas see a layer of cloud this morning, but that’ll start to burn off as the sun gets cooking. 🔥🌞

As the sun shines on the clouds from above, it works at evaporating them by lifting the air temperature, while the dew point stays constant🌡️

This is the satellite imagery for 6am 🛰️
In order to be able to see clouds using satellite imagery at night, a special night microphysics imagery is used. The light green cloud indicates lower level cloud, whereas the red/black cloud indicates higher level kies have been a feature for many overnight, places in the west and central North Island are waking up to a 'blanket' of cloud. Christchurch also has some sneaking in ☁️ but its looking to burn off this morning as the sun rises! ☀️

Morning Aotearoa! 👀Looks like we’ve got a dirty high over the country today😏
🌤️It’s not quite the clear skies you may have thought of when you heard the term “high”, however a setup like this is not uncommon. While standard high-pressure systems bring sinking air 💨⬇️ that rty high traps moisture 💧leaving us with plenty of cloud cover 🌥️.
Nonetheless, many spots will have woken up to a sunny morning as seen in the bird’s eye view satellite image below. ☀️

Our cloud of the week winner is Lisa Hill 🎉. Lisa captured this very cool pic in Alexandra yesterday.
🫧The giant bubble-like shapes are called mammatus clouds.
So, how do they form 👀?
Mammatus clouds get their unique shape by sinking air ⬇️. Cold, side the cloud sinks downwards into the warmer air below. This unique tug-of-war creates the rounded, pouch-like shapes we see hanging underneath. ☁️
They might look a bit dramatic, but mammatus clouds don’t necessarily mean severe weather, and can just appear in New Zealand when the weather is changing. 🌦️
Thanks for sharing your awesome cloud photo, Lisa. 📸☁️

A mixed bag across the motu today. 🌤️
🛰️The satellite loop below shows infrared imagery of Aotearoa, giving us a bird's-eye view of cloud cover across the country.
We can see that much of the South Island is sitting under ☁️ which is being drawn in from the Tasman Sea. Areas of outh and west. 🌧️
Meanwhile, many parts of the North Island have started the day under clearer skies, meaning plenty of ☀️ (although some morning fog in the valleys)! Looking at the satellite loop, you can also see there is a small low-pressure system sitting east of the North Island, this is going to bring some rain to Gisborne and Hawkes Bay today. 🌧️
