I hate to say it, but the variable, but generally pleasant, weather of the past week is going to degenerate into what looks like an onslaught of pacific storms over the next 7 days. As I mentioned on Monday, the Jetstream is sending a strong atmospheric river our way. And when that happens, generally we get wet.

Here is the Jetstream for this Saturday… Pointed straight at us ready to fire.

On the ground, we will be getting a little wet tonight and tomorrow, but likely not much as the weather will come sweeping in from the NorthEast, unusually.

The worst looks to be mid morning tomorrow.

Friday and Saturday should dry out and be OK.

Once the jet hits though, things look much more familiar, and June like.

Sunday afternoon, we will get wet.

We should get a break Monday followed by another wave on Tuesday morning, followed quickly by another Tuesday night.

The end of the forecast period, Tuesday night has the Jetstream looking like this.

It will be sticking around for a while.

We will get a bit of everything this week. The afternoon temperatures will stay reasonably warm just below or above 20C. It might feel a bit muggy in the afternoons and who knows, we might even get a thunderstorm out of it all. I am seeing a strong jet stream coming across the Pacific for next week which might bring us one last shot of rain before we dry out for good for the summer.

The winds should still be pretty good for the wind surfers and kite boarders down off the pier. Congratulations to the Port Authority on its official opening of the Centennial Pier. It is a wonderful asset to the community and is a great spot to watch and experience the weather from too!

And finally, Im happy to announce the automated script for Weekly Timelapses ran successfully under the new system last night.
