Guest Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Any chance of a Coastal Classic record? NIWA National Climate Centre Seasonal Climate Outlook - August-October 2012 On the brink of El Niño On the brink of El Niño Conditions in the tropical Pacific are currently on the brink of El Niño, and it is likely El Niño will develop during the early spring period. In the New Zealand region, however, lower pressures to the north of the country, and higher pressures to the south, are likely to dominate for the August-October period. Thus, the stronger than normal spring westerlies often associated with El Nino periods are not expected to be very prominent in the coming August-October period. Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This prediction is from the same organisation that confidently asserted that the summer of 2011/2012 would be "a classic, long hot Kiwi summer". Just remind me how that turned out again?! Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Don't you really want a big S or SE for a CC record to avoid a slow slog from Brett onwards? Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, didn't they use a Truck load of Tax payer money to buy a huge Super computer to....no wait..... that's the Met Service because NIWA wouldn't let the Met Service use theirs.
