General June Weather
Looking like a reasonably settled start to the first month of winter. Metservice going for lows of about -3 for the next few days around Canterbury....

Re: General June Weather
Not a lot happening for the next 15 days on the gfs. Country could get a soaking mid month from a Tasman Sea low but upper level temps look warm with that.
Off topic but an interesting pic here of a cb top over the volcanic eruption in Indonesia yesterday.

Re: General June Weather
Greylynn showing 218.8mm for the year so far. With El Nino this year it is possible northern NZ could be in dry westerlies from early/mid October. Looking for a wet June-September.

Re: General June Weather
Howick not much better on 261mm for the year. Easily the driest Jan-May period for at least 10 years (I got my first plastic rain gauge in 2005, so not sure of rainfalls before then).spwill wrote:Greylynn showing 218.8mm for the year so far.

Re: General June Weather
No idea of the rainfall totals here in the Grey.. but for now, 1st of the month is a cool start with the barber in full flow.. shaping up to be a cracker of a day with that big fat high sitting over in the tasman.. and the sound of a hundred hammers still patching up lost rooves from the easter storm.. good time to get out into the garden!

Re: General June Weather
It almost looks to me like a returning pattern back to more La Nina than El nino into next week, a small shallow low down from the NSW coastline by the end of the week.
The highs have also shifted back to the positions of about 2-3 weeks ago before the NW/SW flow occurred, I am picking this winter will be flip flopping between the two which could be more trouble if a northern low collides with a polar rodent.
My pick is a milder winter on average but I am still firmly set on a big dumping of snow

Re: General June Weather
Every year people say "oh theres going to be a big dump of snow this winter" with no real facts behind it just blind hope that some big event will happen.

Re: General June Weather
Immmmm , I'm picking a mild winter but there could be the occasional cold events that will deliver snow or sleety events, like what Jase is suggesting.

Not much wind here at the moment and rather smoggy from some burn-offs.

Re: General June Weather
Thank your stars your press isn't like the British press (I assume).. were close enough the Arctic here for them to get away with some ridiculous headlines. On the other hand logic dictates than NZ is far enough from the Antarctic to avoid "ice age now" headlines, or "Coldest, snowiest winter in 350 years" type headlines)

Re: General June Weather
Lovely weather for June, low 10C, currently 19C, partly cloudy, light winds.
Looks like we keep the general easterly pattern over northern NZ into next week with falling pressure north of NZ. A change from May which was dominated by westerly pattern.

Re: General June Weather
Does anyone know if the current run of cold nights is close to a record for Christchurch for late May/ early June? Looks like we are going to end up with around 11 out of 12 nights 0C or below? What an amazing run!!

Re: General June Weather
I'm surprised how early in the evenings it has been reaching 0. Especially when there is little snow nearby yet.

Re: General June Weather
Also of note is that the maximum gust at the airport over the past 5 days is just 19km/h. 15km/h here for the 5 days. The mean wind speed over the past 5 days is just 1.1km/h! Not often you get such a prolonged period of no wind. Northeast breezes look likely to return tomorrow afternoon for the first time in a while.

Re: General June Weather
Yes, it has been a calm period with not much wind.
Very wintry anticyclonic conditions from this very slow moving anticyclone over us at the moment.

Re: General June Weather
Looks like there might be a bit of rain from the east next week for the Canterbury area, more so on the north Canterbury coast.
