Here’s what is making the weather headlines today.

🌀Here are3⃣of the globe's must trusted weather models. They are aligning more & more, but this does not mean this is locked in. At least another 72 hours before tracking towards NZ can be more certain… but this current forecast is certainly ominous. #DevelopingTropicalCyclone pic.twitter.com/tsLtALMGXh

ANOTHER WARM DAY IN THE EAST

A westerly quarter airflow lies over the country today, while not as hot as the past few days eastern regions will get warm again today, reaching into the late twenties. A cool change is on the way though with southwesterlies moving into Otago this afternoon then reaching Canterbury this evening in the form of a southerly.

A few showers push northwards through Canterbury this evening also although precipitation levels are fairly low, South Canterbury may get more if anything.

SOME RAIN FOR CANTERBURY WEDNESDAY EVENING

The odd shower lingers about Canterbury tomorrow then in the evening as another southerly change moves northwards some rain sets in. Amounts are not looking to be very high so not a big help considering the dry conditions about the eastern South Island at the moment, but still it’s some relief.

EX TC – MID FEBRUARY

As has been mentioned yesterday in an article by Phil Duncan here, an ex tropical cyclone looks to head towards and perhaps over New Zealand around mid February, in 6 days time. More updates to follow here at weatherwatch.co.nz as we move forward.
