Hi Phil,
I was wondering if you could elaborate a little more around cold fronts. What conditions/set up is needed for them to properly make it to the Waikato (in the sense of delivering meaninful rain), and what causes them to fizzle?
I know from my own rainfall records that last summer here where I farm (Matamata/Tirau), it started to dry out a bit in December but we had some rain between Christmas and the new year (I think from a low, if my memory serves me right), and then regularly we received 20-30mm of rain from cold fronts in January, which kept things growing well. Once February rolled around however, that dried up. I’ve noticed that also this year, the cold fronts have just decided to give up and only deliver a few mm’s or none at all. What causes this?
Cheers,
Edward

Hi Pete, Lots of westerly driven showers and southern rain bands are coming – so it ‘piles up’ on the South Island’s West Coast. Long range data still shows wetter than normal for Westland southwards – and normal northwards, with those totals tapering off as you head towards Cook Strait and Tarakaki. Below normal rainfall for the western North Island. We’ll have more details in our December ClimateWatch video out later on Monday afternoon. It’s still spring-like in our view and that means a messy forecast mixed in with some big high pressure zones nearby.
– PD

Hi Tony, here’s the raw data from the Australian Government. In NZ, NIWA is very commercial for a Govt Agency so NIWA just give their prediction but don’t provide data to support it (as open data means others might use it, and NZ Govt is against fair competition). Here’s the data so you can see for yourself in graph form: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/#tabs=Pacific-Ocean and it shows no major ramp up yet to La Nina.
It’s always been possible that a La Nina might form, but for now NZ’s weather in 2024 continues to be dominated from south of NZ not the equator. We are forecasting spring weather into December with increasing dry areas. A similar outlook to NIWA maybe, but without the La Nina focus quite so much.
Kind regards
Phil D
