You're right. :smile: Sorry missed that, as was right at the bottom with nothing to distinguish it from the story itself, i.e. no quotation marks, no title, etc. Have just reinstated it in the original post.
I'm usually good on not posting the entire article but I was just in a rush, not too sure if I left a link either, anyway still blowing good down here, would be interested to see what kind of gusts they got on Stewart Island today 8-o

Hey Brian, I see my weather station is on there, yet I didnt sign up.

I see they charge so essentially they are profiting by using my data!
Do you know where they get the data from?

they only are charging for like pro aspects of the way the data is presented (otherwise that link is free)
the data is mined from either wunderground or CWOP (i.e public data)
I do like the way they present the data

Another SW blow for Auckland today but should be brighter.

Sunday will be a warm day for inland parts of the country with 28C in places.

I see NW gusts were again up to 206 km/h at Cape Turnagain before midnight last night and 150 km/h at Castlepoint.

Yesterday arvo's 115 km/h gusts at Invercargill Aero look to be the highest recorded there since Oct, 2007, although it came close with 113 km/h early on May 17th this year. Not exactly sure what the record is for that site, but it would in excess of 140 km/h.

Fairlie also did fairly well with 98 km/h, :> as did Oamaru Aero with 96 km/h.

November is my least favourite weather month in Auckland because we get quite a few of these stable cloudy southwest flow days.

According to the niwa data page Gisborne is our warmest city for average maximum in November( long term average), 21.3C which is cool.

Yes, last November we had the early arrival of the warm humid weather caused by a strong La Nina.

Last Nov was also very dry with above normal sunshine for Akld (sunnier than last Feb, although Feb was exceptionally dry). This month may end up little cloudier than normal with similar normal temps.

ps, so much for the wind forecasted to ease this morning
it has actually increased more here, and the barometer is dropping slowly even....
must be the way the pressure is being distributed as lee troughs form and weaken, etc?

As of 9am this morn, T-mins at Akld Aero are about 0.2C above normal and T-maxs about 0.5C below normal, so a T-mean of about 0.3C below normal (actually -0.2C if unrounded). Mangere's T-mean is about 0.3C to 0.4C below normal. One of the more notable overnight exceptions being last Wed/Thu night, which saw an exceptionally warm night plummet by 4-5C just before 9am.

I probably should have also mentioned that, although Akld's mean-temp last Nov was about normal, most other places, particularly in the south, were above normal. Also, due to a prevalence of anticyclones last Nov, it was nowhere near as windy as this month.

Down to 7.5C overnight here with NE winds this morning.
Maybe thundery down south tomorrow with the odd clap. Depending how dry the NW is.
Good to watch the next front coming up on the new Westland radar overnight and tomorrow :D
