Anticyclonic Gloom, its back in the north

Unread post by NZstorm »

A weak Sw flow today with drizzly showers. On Sunday we get a bit of a moist easterly surge in the morning which will keep the cloud and weak showers going for another day. Weather should fine up in Auckland early week.

yes, something we have not seen much of for a while (luckily) (which is why our sunshine hours have been up on normal I guess!)
will make day time maximums less, but night time minimums higher
the temperature rose in the evening last night, which was the indicator of a different airmass arriving

the way the wind got less gusty (steadier) (i call it a pressure wind) this afternoon and the cloud has broken a bit, all points to a easterly surge coming in tomorrow...but, the barometer has not started to rise ....which it needs to do first (normaly), as the high comes in...hummmm

Just a bit early in season for proper sea breezes spwill. Lack of sea breezes will limit any convective potential. Hopefully skies don't cloud up too much with tomorrows easterly, would be nice to get our sun back after a gloomy day today.
