General May Weather
Kick off the thread with a rant. When the F is it going to rain this autumn? In May or not at all? I’m begging for a wet period.

Re: General May weather
Not likely in the next 30 days, but more likely after that.

Re: General May Weather
you can't take any model output past 7 to 10 days too seriously TonyT surely
already the models are showing a change in the pattern after the first week in May (hopefully this holds)

Re: General May Weather
The Euro weeklies are a pretty good tool to help answer questions like this.

Re: General May Weather
models are hinting more and more at a pattern change to follow this next high pressure (i.e lower pressures in the Tasman)

Re: General May Weather
A rain maker from the Tasman in about 10 days time ? it is a long way off but it is what we expect to see in the models in May.

Re: General May Weather
Keep an eye on the high pressure south of Australia later in the week, it may send some cold air our way next week.

Re: General May Weather
This afternoon Hamilton saw once again a balmy 22 degrees with isolated showers popping up.
It is only within the last 2 weeks proper we have started overnight lows drop to more normal autumnal lows. Yet in the afternoon considerably warm for this time of year.

Re: General May Weather
Fine morning but high cloud thickening this afternoon from the west making it an overcast day with light winds from the north or NW.
Today's maximum was 20.6C before the thickening cloud cover moved across. A bit of a NW Arch later this afternoon towards sunset showing a bit of virga.

Re: General May Weather
It’s crazy how dry it is. Going to be a tough winter without any grass growth in may.

Re: General May Weather
Even the lawn in town is drying right out now, and has almost stopped growing. This is becoming completly unnatural for the time of year.jamie wrote:It’s crazy how dry it is. Going to be a tough winter without any grass growth in may.

Re: General May Weather
Yea the weather pasterns being this settled this far into Autumn is very strange, the High Pressure systems should have started to gravitate alot more northwards than they sit currently.
In the back of my head, I am wondering if we could see a much more sudden and drastic change to the overall weather pattern when South Pole upper atmospheric vortex starts to intensify more.

Re: General May Weather
191mm here year to date. 4th time in 13 years we got to May with less than 200mm year to date… becoming common to have extended dry lasting well into autumn

Re: General May Weather
summer type weather pattern still on going
May normally sees wet and colder and windy weather. Just ask Duck Shooters
but not for the last few years

Re: General May Weather
No fog here yet but in the distance it's looks as though pockets of mist are around the place.
Fine sunny day anyway with a light wind and 19.3C.
