Re: General April Weather
After a cool start, no frost observed, a fine day eventuated with light northerly winds. 20.1C here for today.
Fine weather looks likely for most of the coming week.

Re: General April Weather
Was interesting seeing a lone 33 km/h gust at 2.45am in otherwise near calm conditions. Wind mixing down to the surface I guess?

Re: General April Weather
Was thinking the same yesterday, this is (used to be) the modus operandi of the local climate, now after this summer at least, it's a novelty. No useful amount of rain from it though, next to nothing.Awhituobs wrote:been a long time since we have had a disturbed SW flow here

Re: General April Weather
Overall a sunnier, drier and warmer than average April here. Grey Lynn has not had a temperature below 10C so far this year.
It has been a very settled last 6 months, hopefully a stormy Winter is on the way.

Re: General April Weather
looks like La Nina is going to stick around for winter
(these big highs moving through the south pacific are enhancing the trade winds, keeping the water cooler than average in the eastern equatorial region (sort of a bit of a feed back system)), yes?

Re: General April Weather
Weak and non-favourable phase MJO activity is not generating the westerly wind bursts needed to initiate Nino development. Hence the easterly trades keep going. CFS is favouring Nino development December/January time, but you would have to call that very very speculative this far out.
