Thanks, Nev - I have worked out where you get the years 1929 and 1939 from!! When I use the BOM site for this type of data, the downloaded excel sheets are no longer neat tabulations, but a jumble of data in a series of lines. Do you have the same issue or is my computer/software the reason for this? As a result, the figures are awkward to retrieve. Statistics: Posted by Simon Culling — Sun 10/12/2023 07:53 ..read more

The build of pressure has been put back a few days and we have two named storms here in the UK. Firstly, Storm Elin arrived today (Saturday 9th Dec) and was named by Met Eireann as it arrived - seems to have caught the various met offices on the hop. The strongest winds affected Eire + the centre of the UK, but the highest gusts I can find were only 65-75mph, so not sure why this was named. Here in Tiverton, we had another inch of rain overnight and a blustery Saturday with wind gusts of around 40mph - but only a few light showers during the day.

Some quite welcome rain here around 7mm so far, Banks Peninsula is just over 10mm to the hour. Much of the night remained on 18C thanks to the warm Northerly flow and warm upper air. Thankfully not as warm as Sydney was yesterday on 43C. Very hot for only 9 days into summer, even several flights were put on hold due to a hot tarmac and hazy skies from nearby fires burning around NSW. Tuesday still looks good for thunderstorms/hail, then warming up by the end of the week. Statistics: Posted by Storm Struck — Sat 09/12/2023 21:07 ..read more
