Thoughts & prayers these passengers flying into Wellington airport this morning.

The ChCh - Wgtn flight has just landed back in ChCh. The one from Nelson has made it to Wgtn. #NZStorm
Flight radar screen grab of the flight between ChCh & Wgtn showing the plane attempted to land in Wgtn twice before heading back to ChCh. Flight radar screen grab of the flight between nelson & Wgtn in a crazy small plane that did half a dozen laps around the Picton area. Flight radar screen grab of the flight between gisborne & Wgtn that also did holding pattern laps in the sky.

Grim morning here in #WindyWellington with rain this morning causing flash flooding.

We had flooding in the Hutt valley on Saturday and moderate rain overnight but this mornings commute could be interesting.

That in old money is a proper ding-dong stormy weather map.

#NZStorm #StateOfEmergency #NZ
A proper weather map, not this new fangled rubbish they give us, but something we can all read & understand. A surface level pressure map with isobars formed tightly around a moderately deep low just SE of Wellington drawing warm moist air from the tropics, colliding with cold anticyclonic cold air from the sub antarctic creating one helluva tight pressure gradient, resulting his gale to severe gale force winds from Kaikoura to Lower North Island, and as it's a stalled frontal system, sustained torrential rain to the East Coast of the south island. (I say this as a guy with a Masters in Meteorological infographics). Love a traditional map.

Oceania
A strengthening high dries eastern Australia but raises bushfire concerns. New Zealand braces for a cold snap with alpine snowfall. Cyclone season outlooks ahead. #AustraliaWx #NZstorm #OceaniaWeather #davidsuzukifdn
