Sunday 3 Oct

So how did yesterday shape up? The westerly stayed stronger than forecast...certainly no chance of a sea breeze. It was blue as predicted

.

Today; all the indications are thermals to 5000ft, cloud development, some over-development, and sea breezes. It feels like a day that will start out good but care will be required to avoid big areas of cold over-development accompanied by showers. I think the Waikato will be better than the BoP. Taupo looks to be fairly poor close to the lake and only so so on the higher ground to the east. I'm picking a Tokoroa, maybe Whakamaru day with the real chance of landing out around Atiamuri.
