Re: General March Weather
rainfall next wed looking patchy now. High pressure still continues to be the dominating factor .Fingers crossed this will change again for the better.Some good hail here last Sun at home[up to 15mm size ] in Tepuna. 2 ks either side there was nothing.Unfortunatly was in Auckland at the time .

Re: General March Weather
Wednesday looks the best day for showers with cooler drier air pushing in Thursday.
Have to see the how the moisture/convergence comes together on Wednesday, the latest GFS not looking good for around here

Re: General March Weather
Hmmm I’d need to go check more carefully but it looks like I broke my March max temp record by 2.1C. Old record of 27.2 on March 11 2019. Today I got 29.3. This year is giving so many hot days. It will be interesting to count up the number of days above 30.

On March 11 2013 Ruakura had 32.6. Suspect you should have got over 30 that day?jamie wrote:Hmmm I’d need to go check more carefully but it looks like I broke my March max temp record by 2.1C.

Re: General March Weather
Multiple models are producing an autumnal upper trough of polar origins that cuts off and becomes an upper tropospheric cyclonic vortex over the NI in 8 to 10 days. This will break the ridge and weather pattern if it verifies allowing a surface cut off low to develop.

Partly cloudy this afternoon but clearing away later this afternoon and fine this evening.

Ah yes you are right. I recorded 29.6 that day. I had a suspicion that previous record of mine seemed too low. Must be a bug on my records chart for March.cbm wrote:On March 11 2013 Ruakura had 32.6.

Re: General March Weather
9 days above 30 for the summer for me. Some years we don’t even reach 30 so that’s a very high number for us. 24 days above 28. December recorded none of these. So that’s just for Jan Feb.

Re: General March Weather
Had a look for here and we had 12 days, the early 2000's would have seen more than 12

Re: General March Weather
With climate change, I think it will be a feast or famine situation with the weather to come.
No rain for Northland but in a few months time, there will be flooding up there with Keao recording another record rainfall.
The West Coast will dry out, except for the one or TC's that will likely to come down in the Tasman sea from the tropics and here in Canterbury we will have a mild winter with the forecast possibility of a La Nina forming.

Re: General March Weather
Humid as run tonight at Hagley, 21C and 85% humidity! Sounds like the change is not far off. Around teatime there were some reasonable showers and a rainbow to the east of town.
