Colder than normal June?
Not far to the end of the month, and I wonder if it'll turn out to be a significantly cold one like June last year, at least in the South Island. The unseasonable warmth of May is but a distant memory now.

Re: Colder than normal June?
Hmmm. I don't know...the temps haven't been anywhere near as low as those of last year (at least not down here) and there have been fewer cold days too.tich wrote:Not far to the end of the month, and I wonder if it'll turn out to be a significantly cold one like June last year, at least in the South Island.

Maybe different for elsewhere, but I think this month won't come close to last June.

For this area, I reckon May was definitely a standout, or at least in my memory. (Which is of course infallible!) June wasn't a patch on last year though.NZ Thunderstorm Soc wrote:I can't give you any comparisons to other years as I have just started records, official records that is, from January 2007, this year, from this site .. but ..it will be interesting to see other comparisons 'twixt this year and last year in the South Island.

for us here june has been so far 0.7°C colder than normal (i.e a little bit down on normal)
see:
http://www.weather-display.com/windy/gb ... taout.html
also less rain so far than normal, but its raining at the moment.....so the total might get closer to normal by months end

What was June like up there last year Brian? It'd be interesting if you had a warm or warmer than usual June while we froze, and this year you had a cooler than normal May while we were relatively warm.Manukau heads observer wrote:for us here june has been so far 0.7°C colder than normal (i.e a little bit down on normal)

Okay, I didn't pay much attention to national weather stats. I may go look them up later.Manukau heads observer wrote:last june was much colder than normal up this way too (as it was for the whole country)
because we are surrounded by water here, not much land, our temperature trend is a good indicator

Hey Andy, have you had a lot of very cold days this year or was last year a little milder in Alex than in, say, Twizel?Andy wrote:This June the weather (temps) was on par with last year in Alex.
Our temps were skewed last year by a string of days in the -10 °C to -14 °C area, the other days being within 5 °C or so of those.
All-in-all, a chilly month for the Mackenzie!
This year has been decidedly mild in comparison.

Can you generate that without the wind plot on it? Too many dots and lines for my poor middle-aged eyes.Manukau heads observer wrote:my trend graph here shows how much warmer this june has been than last june...
Here's one from Omarama...
Unfortunately the airport router failed due to the cold during the big snow of the 12th-16th-ish, so the low-lows aren't plotted. It got down to -13.4 °C (or something like that) at that time.
