Warm overnight and average temps

Unread post by jeffsweather »

I thought I'd start a new thread on the warm overnight temperatures that Angeline mentioned in the drizzly thread.

I've been looking at my records that only go back to Jan 2000 to see when warm overnight temperatures were recorded between midnight and 6am
and were greater then 23C.

28 Dec 2000 at midnight, 23.1 with a northerly wind
15 Feb 2001 at 1am, 25.5 after a high of 32.5 with a nor'wester the previous day
27 March 2001 at 2:05am, 24.4 with a nor'west wind.
14 Dec 2003 at midnight, 23.2 with a northerly wind
9 Jan 2004 at 2:00am 26.2 with a northerly wind

Looking at the maximum daily averages for each year
23 Jan 2000 22.3
14 Feb 2001 20.6
6 Dec 2002 22.7
31 Jan 2003 23.0
9 Jan 2004 24.4


It will be interesting to see what the official records show.
