With updrafts continually forming explosions and waves here in stable air ex the upper winds, I can only think that winter is going to be murderous if this trend keeps up. Baring Head needs blowing up, the cold air lifts there and comes down here and boy has it been active this year. With all the humid air reported all around the country this week, it did not rise about 65% per cent and was mostly at 55% where I live. Pfft on that. Even crook weather in Hawkes Bay ex that tropical system launched a big wave here. Shit it is like the lot is targeting us, but it is the upper wind that gets trapped against the mountain here ex Baring Head that is the biggie. Noticed Virga forming and falling tonight as the NW met the NE blowing here, just like a winter Central Nth Island sky before it snows. Go away! Pressure has been bad here as well, lower than normal. We are always 6hPa lower than surrounding areas despite being near enough to sea level.  Climate thinks we are 300m up. The SE is a shocker here at the best of times, but this is shaping up be one tough Westerly winter. Almost like we are following the US’s pattern. 

Two big trees nearby are beginning to change leaf colour,very noticeable!
