Canterbury Weather Updates

❄️Just 2 weeks to go until winter 2024. Already were seeing an active polar stream stream, with more frequent colder south/south-westerly flows.

❄️Our next burst of cold air and snow will be on Saturday, where a Canterbury Weather Updates heavy snow watch remains in place for areas above 700m between Twizel and Lake Tekapo; additionally our alpine passes, bar the Lewis Pass, which will escape the heavier rain, snow & colder temperatures.

🍂❄️Whos looking forward to the changing of the season?

Does this indicate an earlier summer?

Wow looks like down Twizel way??

Winter begins when my neighbour lights her fire in March and ends in about november when the last fire is out even though its a 26 deg NW'er

Wendy Abernethy glad i won’t be in twizel this year for those hoar frost ❄️ 😅

Where is this Canterbury Weather Updates

It's actually not that cold... Just saying..

Years ago, in say 1990s, we always had cold, frosty & snowy weather. It is nothing new.

Kimberley McCall 2 more weeks till winter and we've been cold for weeks

Winter done and dusted now. Time for things to turn upside down with warm temps 😊

Damnit! It's actually a normal autumn/winter! After a normal summer. Grain was fit for harvest and grass grew like hell. Grew up in Canterbury and some of this click bait is just getting to thick aye

Looking forward to spring!!!!

Yes tends to be a bit colder this time of year

I miss the days of the newspaper being a thing people couldn't make stupid comments on

And still no rain or grass growth 😞

Its makes me feel cold just looking at it

Is it possible that you could order a wee dusting of snow in Christchurch this year. Just enough for a snowman and a snowball fight please.

Sam Stevenson Brad Cooke Charlotte Cunliffe shall we come for a wee mission to Arrowtown ina couple weekends 🪵🍷🎇⛄️

I want some rain please. My dog has been peeing on the pathway so I would like a little help cleaning it today 🌧🌧🌧🌧

Southerly coming in at Christchurch airport 💨💨

Broomfield Amberley dropped 4 degrees in 5minutes and strong winds

Was like someone turned the freezer on!

Amzg morning @ Sumner Beach/ now high wind gusts!

is it moving to blenheim

28dg and humid as hell here in Vanuatu 🤣 home Sunday night so a mild ‘Nor Wester would be lovely thanks! 🤣

Was a beautiful morning/arvo, now gray and drizzling in Rangiora

Cold & 8 degrees here in Hororata

Hubby had just finished mowing the lawns - including all the fallen leaves - then the southerly hit - and it looks no different to before he started 🙁 Temperature plummeted 🙁 (Ashburton)

Definitely got cold fast

Hanmer has dropped 10 degrees in 10 mins

Chch has dropped temp with very cold winds

12.50pm now dark and cold

Was 17 in Weedons, now 12, and dropping

Was nice and sunny here in Eastern Southland,was 15° now 5° ,brrrrrr!!

Don’t know the temps but I was walking around Willowbank enjoying the sun and in an instant it was so windy and cold 😩 made for a quick end to our wee outing.

same noticed a big drop 8 deg now still dry hororata

I was just about to go for a warm sunny walk around the lake in Pegasus, but it clouded over very quickly and went freezing cold. Guess I'll stay in and walk another day!

Methven down to 8

Boo Hoo do we have a hibernation centre

Oxford on 10 now.

Just got home. My sheets were on the line when I left got back they were on the ground. Nothing a good shake wouldn't do 😅

The southerly gusts have cleared the grotty flats next door's gutters right into my yard.
