Yes we've had a lot of cloud - as someone living off-grid with solar I'm feeling it! Yuk to the coming weather too. Thanks for the great information as always Phil & team :)
I can’t get over how inaccurate New Zealand weather forecasts have been. Growing up in the islands our weather reports were always on point hours or days ahead
That's the difference between living in the tropical trade winds (so predicable we barely do island updates for 6 months of the year) and living in the "roaring forties (the Southern Ocean) - the windiest, stormiest, part of the planet. Half of NZ is in the roaring forties so it's very turbulent airflows. Throw in some mountains a few kilometres high and you've got one of the hardest nations in the world to forecast!
Hi Phil, thanks for this. I see that the blue line that, as you've said, denotes cold, dry, 'thin' air now has the number 5400 associated with it on the maps. What does 5400 indicate? Cheers.
Minus 5 degrees centigrade ground frost Central Christchurch bus stop circa 9 30 am . Sheepskin boot weather. Did not warm much but the sun was warm by lunchtime. Cloudy afternoon perhaps.
Good to see some honest down to earth weather forecasting instead of the dramatic world is ending apocalyptic nonsense from other quarters shall we say , basically we are doomed according to the other lot 😂😂😂, must be alot of pillow huggers about 😉
