I just wanted to know what the following wind terms mean:
Blustery, fresh, strong, brisk, breezy, fairly breezy, gale, severe gale, etc. What are the differences between all of these?

Hi there, you can find the wind speeds that connect with those terms in the hourly section of the forecast from any day. At some point weāll get more info on our site about things like this.
Cheers

Itās probably because itās forecasting high cloud and overdoing it with the icon. Check the data at RuralWeather.co.nz to make moer sense of it. Weāre working on this problem.

It certainly feels like weāve had a cooler than average August here in the far north. Is that linked to the SSW event over Antarctica? And I see thereās another potentially larger SSW event thatās going to affect our weather in a few weeks time, is that correct?

While over the Northern Hemisphere, we see an unusually weak start to the Stratospheric Polar Vortex. And an abrupt end to the active Summer pattern over North America, switching directly into an Autumn pattern in early September.
