Re: General September Weather
Yes, 2nd lowest for the year well. Down to 4.4c locally. I only have a few years of reliable temp data but that is my record coldest September overnight low.

Re: General September Weather
Hamilton Aero -2.1C not uncommon in September overall but lowest since 2016 at least, will have to check. I only saw -0.7 at home but interestingly may have slightly affected the English Oaks that are in leaf very early ATM.

Re: General September Weather
The English Oak were coming into leaf late July here, possibly the earliest I can recall.

Re: General September Weather
Don't forget that olde English saying;
"If the Oak comes before the Ash, we're in for a splash, but if the Ash comes before the Oak, we're in for a soak"
I don't know if that applies here in NZ.

Re: General September Weather
I’m currently just over 400mm behind average rainfall year to date. That’s nuts on the back of last year that was 400mm short of average.
This is a long lasting drought that in my opinion stated exactly 2 years ago. The only month that doesn’t fit that claim is probably December 2018 (I think it was).
When will we get normal rainfalls months on end?

Re: General September Weather
Some high cloud this morning but clearing away from noon but unstable , weak cloud forming.
Becoming warm in the sunshine here with today's maximum being 21.1C.
Light NE for a while but becoming more to the south from about 4pm. and cooling down quickly with stratus cloud moving over.
Some unusual cloud forms his afternoon with I call "eel clouds" moving over from the south.
Not much rain here with 0,2mm falling,

Re: General September Weather
Managed to get 12.6mm of rain from yesterday's weather system, looking like more Thursday also. September is starting out with some good rainfalls.

Re: General September Weather
looks like a drought is making a come back with persistant high pressure and weakening fronts. no big rain events appearing on models at all. had 15mm last night so still good. even with a lot of high pressure that front still made it.

Re: General September Weather
The Davis I installed out at family farm still only on 449.8mm YTD which seems unbelievably low. I keep thinking must have a problem, but yet to find any serious blockage when I check on it on regular visits. Ran a calibration with 544ml of water slow dropped through last Summer and it came out fine.jamie wrote:I’m currently just over 400mm behind average rainfall year to date.

Re: General September Weather
Yep, looking even colder aloft than Sunday but heating would be key. Maybe more inland though, so might even suit you as a guess.

Re: General September Weather
ECMWF's latest monthly outlook produced overnight showing a much different pressure anomaly chart than it produced a month ago for September. Plenty of south westerlies and well below normal rainfall for the large parts of the NI 'if' it verifies. The La Nina like tropically easterlies remain a long way above the NZ region and fended off by the subtropical ridge.

Re: General September Weather
At this stage looking too early in the day for any electrical discharges, but more rain wont go a miss though.
