Re: General March Weather
Sadly more rain for the Tairawhiti area which I presume is the East Cape region north of Gisborne.

Re: General March Weather
A fine day after the gradual clearance of overnight cloud this morning. A little hazy though with the cloud increasing after dark this evening.
Today's maximum was 22.1C.
Not a very interesting week ahead for us sadly.

Re: General March Weather
An interesting high energy period begins this Friday with a cold surge along the east coast and a developing depression in the Tasman. The MJO is looking like emerging into phase 1, implying some weak low pressure development over or around NZ. The following 4-7 days will be worth keeping an eye on.

Re: General March Weather
Up to 26C here today, sunny conditions.
Looks like the main impacts from the Tasman low won't be until mid next week here.

There was something on CheckPoint on RNZ this afternoon about the drought in Southland, mentioning Stewart Island/Rakiura depending on water supplies from rainfall dwindling.Chris Raine wrote: ↑Tue 29/03/2022 22:39 Cloudy today.Although afternoon sunny.Little wind.

Re: General March Weather
the rain for the upper NI has suddenly backed off on the models for next week
but there is an idea of a late season TC approaching from the Coral Sea in a week from now (the low has formed at least in the far NW coral sea now)

Re: General March Weather
Looks like Wellington is suffering from clagg today with the airport closed affecting about 150 flights.
More disruption tomorrow from the clagg.

Re: General March Weather
If the clagg causes disruption is it better called clogg? Or is that only if it reaches ground level?NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote: ↑Wed 30/03/2022 18:46 Looks like Wellington is suffering from clagg today with the airport closed affecting about 150 flights.

Re: General March Weather
Apparently the term 'clag' originated as an RAF acronym for 'Cloud Low, Aircraft Grounded'...TonyT wrote: ↑Wed 30/03/2022 18:49If the clagg causes disruption is it better called clogg?

Re: General March Weather
Clogg would be a good term for ground level clagg as it clogs up airline operations and aircraft controllers (handcuffed or not ) would not be able to see airplanes come in.
.....anyway, no clagg or clogg down here today but a pleasant partly cloudy day with light NE.
Today's maximum was 21.6C.

Re: General March Weather
Any decent rain would be good.Rural land owners can't survive two weeks.,they have no water now.,.It would be ok if the next front brings a dollop of rain and the rural contractors could deliver water but they can't .Water can be got from Invercargill but if I order today there are 600 people in front of me on back order for water which I could get in about 7 to 10 days time

Re: General March Weather
Luckily we had the thunderstorms here Mon-Wednesday last week, short duration but intense falls. Otherwise a stable mostly settled month.
