Southerlies
Hello. I'm thinking about southerly air flows in the South Island. How do they differ from sou-westerlies. Is it to do with the part of the island you are in, for instance does a steady southerly flow that strikes the bottom of the island get shifted and turned into the dreaded Dunedin sou-wester? Or does the sou-wester begin well before the island? And also, in a typical year, how many pure southerly flows would hit the bottom of the S.I?
