Russ what I've noticed happen over the years is snowfall being closely followed by warm nor westers or "snow-eaters", which strips away the snow very quickly - the same thing can happen in October and November after the ski season. That hasn't happened yet, and if the weather gods cooperate, this is hopefully the establishment of a very deep base for the 2024 ski season.

🌦WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW - our cooler southerly is bringing areas of lower and middle level cloud to eastern areas this morning, with isolated showers.

🔎Check into our town pages for specific and moderated details - there will be contrast across the region today.

☀️The sun is back tomorrow, with milder temperatures.

❄️Possible cold outbreak in the weekend. The latest numbers on our live weather feed.

The best chance is between 10 and midnight currently. Send in your snaps, if you get lucky and we'll share on Monday🙂

What time would we be looking at please? Missed it last night

Does anyone know what time as really want to see it

Looking from hills above Oxford back towards Christchurch

Roughly what time could I possibly see aurora tonight in Ashburton

There's hundreds of cars up in the porthills, if anyone deciding to go up, expect delays.. 😁

missed it last night even looking from 7=30 until 9 pm so trying again tonight with no camera

Been sitting out side watching Elons satellite go over here in Lincoln

Just the milky way atm from Waipara

What’s up with the clouds????

Should be seeing something by now, but nothing 👎

Last night around 11:30pm was amazing

Depenga Rose looks like some people are starting to see

9pm upwards was best time last night

Any luck last night? Gave up by 2 am

Such an incredible sight.

What time were these taken? 😊

What time in Timaru please

Any special recording mode to get this, a lot of frames with a delay added together?

What time will this happen

Roughly what time could we possibly see the aurora here in mid canterbury

What would be best times to see it?

Hoping rangiora doesn’t have any cloud tonight and will get good views this time!

What time do you think it might happen

What time will we see it pls?

What about in Christchurch?

Wait 2 am!!?? Aw man *sets alarms* 😂

Lewis George imagine this in the background whilst peeling back countless tins at greys creek

So look south if living in christchurch.?

Peak time for tonight is from 9pm to 12am.

Hopefully tonight we get to see it

Round 3 ya mean

Fingers crossed we see it again...I'm ready for round 2, can't imagine it being any more spectacular than last nights tho!....

when it's dark

Nicki Barrow got your camera ready?

Love the dancing skies Daniel Murray Photography

So a massive worldwide 5g network goes up then all of a sudden funny things start happening in the sky🤔 I guess there's nothing wrong with that if you don't have the mental capacity to think for yourself🤷‍♂️

I'll try tonight..

Rebecca Fay this is your reminder

Carla Fraser West Melton last night
