Ultralights Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 is it just me, or is the unusually high pressure HIGH been sitting in the tasman sea now for quite a long time! these humid Noreasters it has been generating for the past 2 weeks is really starting to annoy me.. i want to fly my new plane, but we have had nothing but crosswinds these past 2 weeks! and looking at the forcast, it looks like hanging around for another 3 or 4 days! this has to be some kind of record for a stationary high pressure area.

slartibartfast Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's been causing fog until 9 or 10am every day at YCOM too. Been trying to get a fly in before work for 2 weeks now. I'll be glad to see it go. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred Bear Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Has been strange weather. I hope we can too Dave! Weather looks as though it could do anything tomorrow! Have to watch out for carby ice too. I think it will be another humid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Longden Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Its been ultra humid and generally bloody awful down here as well.. and when I finish work at six, I get out and look around in awe at the Cb buildup. Mind you, first thing in the morning, the trough has been dead easy to spot. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It has been a very odd year weatherwise. The lows didn't come down as you can see from the chart. Our wet season has been a disaster with about 200mm for November to now. My dams are nearly dry and the ground has dry cracks in it now. It is the dryest since I came to this area in 1970, and I blame it on John Howard, or maybe it was Mark Latham. Anyway we are seriously looking for rain before the dry season starts in May. It has been quite good for flying with cooler than normal temps and no cyclones. Ian Borg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
