Black Panther 1,584 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The word Hola which is used by all Spanish people to greet each other came from the Arab word Allah. Hola comes from the Arabic and it means Peace be upon (with) God. This has evolved into Peace be with you, which is a very romantic and polite way of saying Hello. Doesn't sound very scary. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm hoping Wheel's prediction is right, because Metvu has it scoring a direct hit on Northland on Monday... basically the eye passing over my place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Well I could well be wrong. The predictions for Monday are starting to look rather concerning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Well thankfully, it looks like it is going to fizzle out pretty quickly tomorrow. There will still be some wind and rain, but nothing much out of the ordinary. The lower half or the North and all the South Island will completely miss out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Still looks like some pretty strong SW flow for northland though... could do without that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Well I guess we can't get any closer to accurate predictions than this latest one.So here is the Day ahead. Looks like all the NI will be affected in some way.By this time tomorrow morning, it will all have moved off the Country Eastward.I think the places not to be, are The Far North, including Whangarei and BOI, Coromandal, which is going to get a lot of wind and Rain for the longest period of time, and Napier, which is still saturated from flooding from last weekend.

Black Panther 1,584 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I just got woken up by a rather large gust. 0515. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Looks like the teeth have been taken out of it, thank goodness. Wheels, your initial prediction looks to have been about half right.. maybe even more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Well I ain't no expert and please educamate me here if I am wrong in my understanding, but I just couldn't see how all that colder dryer Southerly airstream was going to give this thing steam down here. in the mid Latitudes.In saying that though, it has done better than I expected, but it sure fly's to pieces later tonight.

Fogg 427 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I’m overlooking the Waitemata from my office and it’s almost calm. The flags on the waterfront buildings are hanging limp and wet. Yet Nowcasting says that just 2nm away at Bean Rick it’s blowing 25kts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 399 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Extremely calm in the harbour and not much wind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chloe 7 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Posted picture but forgot the text. The above is from Met service, they have been adjusting the track all afternoon. I'm in Mahurangi and we have been getting very strong SE wind but it's starting to swing to the SW as predicted. Plenty of rain this arvo. Full water tanks so all good put down brew, done dishes wash down inside and still full tanks so disconnected water catcher. You guys be careful out there the roads will be slippery.

Guest 000 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Here in the coromandel the forecast is for heavy rain and gale force wind. We have rain alright but not too heavy and I don't think the winds been over 10knots all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 375 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Looks like Kerikeri maxed at about 25 knts.. (on land)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Another one has just developed in the Coral Sea not all that far from where the past two developed. But this one looks like it will track closer to he Ozy Coastline and then stall and fade away. At least at the moment that looks to be the plan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
