Post by: Rwood on February 28, 2012, 08:34:16 AM: May be a little sun later, but I'm calling it now - not enough in the last 2 days to prevent a record low summer sunshine tally for Wellington city - over 100 years of records! Feb. may narrowly avoid the same fate. #&@% retrograde low - Corbett's Met Service video showed a small depression moving back towards NZ, bringing southerly cloud back to us.

Post by: TokWW on February 28, 2012, 08:55:22 AM: Clear skies this morning generally, but clouds and fog north of us at Hamilton. An overnight low of 7.5ºC with 14.5ºC currently at 8:50am. If the clouds don't come then we should have a lovely warm day, I'm picking the Advective warm air rising up the valley to meet us will be north to norwester under the overlying "high in the sky" southerly breeze.

Post by: ato2 on February 28, 2012, 12:18:43 PM: Sounds ideal weather. But I presume you have had some rough seas if the fuel ship has been lying to for that length of time?

How common is it to have such a risk of fire hazard at this time of year?
