  1. Thanks SB - that makes sense. Appreciate the explanation.
  2. Any thoughts from those more qualified than I on the potential for the developing La Niña to be a central pacific focussed / Modoki event?
  3. The June just gone was one of the warmest on record for the upper North Island. One reliable weather station in Grey Lynn, Auckland recorded a mean max temperature of 17.4C and a mean low of 9.8C. Quite toasty for the first month of winter. Warmest day topped out at 20.2C (22/06). http://greylynnweather.net/climatedataout62020.html Auckland Aero clocked a mean high of 16.7C for the month (+1.5C above average). Last weekend also saw a pretty significant ‘outbreak’ of tornados. I noted five over the two days reported in the area between Whangarei down to the Bay of Plenty (3 of which were in/around Auckland).
  4. That’s perfect, exactly what I was looking for - thanks very much! Not sure how I wasn’t aware of it already...
  5. Hi all, sorry for this rather off topic question. I wondered if anyone knows where I may be able to find a record of monthly average highs for London? Eg what was the average high in July 2018. I’m curious as to what the average high temperatures were in our hottest summer months but can’t find it anywhere on google. Everywhere just seems to list the overall mean... Would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction.
  6. Unsure how relevant this is, but it may be worth noting that New Zealand has just experienced its warmest month on record, and might be on track for its warmest summer on record if February continues the trend.
  7. One of the best thunderstorms I've ever seen. Still flashing away multiple times a minute but now tailing off here in NW Kent. Not exaggerating when I say we had around 45 minutes with lightning every c.5/10 seconds.
  8. Wimbledon has seen 34.3C recorded already today. Only 0.3C away from the 1976 record. Cooler now I suspect with that cloud moving through London. Still a chance over the next two hours if the sun holds out for long enough...
  9. I can't help but feel that the cloud cover might scupper any record breaking. Have seen temperatures plateau after 12pm on several occasions. Don't forget that the rise in temperature will also slow considerably around 35C. Further - I feel like the Wimbledon record isn't a cert by any means. N/NW London may well be a good 2/3 degrees hotter than SW19. My call is for somewhere to tip into 36C but no further.
  10. Any chance somebody could clear up to me whether Pam is still considered a tropical cyclone? All the major news outlets in NZ are reporting it as 'tropical cyclone Pam'. Obviously these can be quite misleading and mostly they don't understand that there are certain characteristics needed to be classed as a tropical cyclone... NZ Herald even reported that Pam had 'been downgraded to a category 4 cyclone' which is a bit of a joke (pretty sure it's weaker than that now!). To my knowledge only one true tropical cyclone has ever hit NZ having not already turned extra-tropical. But Pam does seem to have retained a lot of it's structure and there are still 20c 850 hPa temps at it's core?
  11. Driving from Kent to Nottingham (University) around 6ish early tomorrow morning and then dad will be driving back at around 10am if all goes to plan. I've been bogged down by revision so haven't been able to keep up to date with the snow situation... Can anyone advise if we are likely to run into anything on the journeys there or back in terms of snow? Any help much appreciate
  12. Getting hit by storm after storm here... Best day for it for a long time. Possibly the best I can remember...
  13. Thanks to the writer of that article for speaking on behalf of everyone in Britain. What truly depressing tripe.
  14. Unbelievable. Potentially the best five days of the summer for the north-west?
