Weather in the Waikato this morning (Mon 14 Sept)?

[Blackbird]

What's the weather like in the Waikato today? I was thinking about riding from Coro to Raglan but awoke to find thick fog up here which is really unusual.

Might need to amend my route :doh:

[Chooky]

Fog in Ngatea.....
Auckland airport atis is saying vis less than 10k's, patches of fog, cloud base 100ft.
So looks like fog there too.:cool:

[ckai]

fog right in the heart of Waikato (Te Awamutu). Would say it won't clear until after 12. It's pretty bloody thick. Damp roads too.

Yea, atis is 127.8. Got an Icom hand held I have connected to an aerial on the roof.. Bit scratchy but I can hear it ok.
What is "LVP"...?

Thick as pigshit in central Hamilton Blackbird...I usually don't mind riding in the fog but not even I have been out yet this morning - she's a pea-souper...

Low vizabilty procedure = LVP, should be mentioned on the atis if it is in place

Hi Glen, as soon as I've finished testing the sport tyres on the 'bird to destruction and write up the report for the importer - that's part of the need for a decent ride. Trying to do 1000km/wk.

Thanks Slofox, I'd be coming thro' the Tron but seeing as I can't even see the water 100m in front of our house, I'll do some painting indoors for a couple of hours :laugh:

Cheers Hami - looks a lot better out your way!

[duckonin]

9-26am all good in Waihi now, for the last half an hour sun's out looking good I'm off to Taumaranui...

[sil3nt]

Still a bit of fog out in whatawhata although visibility is good. Sadly this sort of thing doesn't clear up until midday :( I would just come out anyway. By the time you get out here it will be all good!

Thanks for that - the whole trip sounds like a nice day run from Coro and back:niceone: Sadly though, we'll be in Tauranga for the day visiting friends.

[2wheeldrifter]

No worries... you got all the time in the world ! lol

[Blackbird]

I don't believe it!! Fog rolled back in 30 minutes ago and we can't see more than 100 metres from our deck. Have never seen it that bad up here. Hope I'm not screwed for riding tomorrow:no:

[marty]

Fog was solid in Auckland this morning - airport was closed. Planes left/arrived in Hamilton before Auck opened! There was about 8 parked at Tauranga after holding Auckland til they were on reserve limits. Rotorua was marginal, Whangarei was too. Big high sitting over the North Island. Could be worse, heavy turbulence above 12000' south of Chch.

[slofox]

NO fog tomorrow please - I wanna ride to d'Auckland an' back...mind you, don't hafta leave 'til midday...should be sweet..

[Chooky]

Just came back in from Rotorua. There's a haze over the Waikato and still fog on the Firth of Thames.

I'd say we'll have a ripper fog tomorrow....
But I could be wrong... usually am.... :cool:

[jaymzw]

Some weird weather at the moment.:no:
Apparently it was 20' overnight in Dunedin and got very hot in Christchurch today due to windchanges.

Personally i witnessed some weird fog in Takapuna this afternoon at about 3.30. Couldnt even see Rangi from the beach:laugh:
