Apologies Carla, something just as simple as a tag not being added when we posted. Thanks for letting us know, we’ve now fixed this.

This weekend feels like summer again (I feel you in Napier and Hastings where it can go up to 27 or 28 C).
Do you know what causes the subtropical winds to raise temperatures that highly in spring enough for it to be reminiscent of summer? I know that this raises temperatures up to 7 C in some regions this weekend and it goes to show how variable spring weather can be.

Hi Sylvia,
Take a look at the current video on our homepage as I talk about how the large high pressure zone north of NZ is positioned to pull down the much warmer subtropical airflows across parts of NZ. So that’s the first step to bring in the heat – the second step is delivering that airflow as a windy nor-wester. As air is pushed over the eastern North Island ranges it dries out as it rises, then simply the motion of that air descending out east warms it up even further. A double whammy to bring in summer heat in spring. It can happen at any time of the year but spring is often when it gives us our first “hot days” since the previous summer.
Cheers,
Philip Duncan
