Nope, not very much – mostly westerly and south-westerly driven, except for today, which is a bit La Nina like, but the next couple weeks look more W to SW driven.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Phil and all the WW watch team!
Thanks for all the great work you all do, and the way that Phil explains everything so well in layman’s terms on the videos. I’ve followed you since WW’s early days and enjoy learning new things all the time about our weather.

Thanks

I’m beginning to think the weather God’s hate me
