more likely to be a function of sea surface temps, but I have not looked for awhile

I see a tight little low is zooming out of the tropics in time for this weekend. about 988 hPa - looks like it wants to be a tropical revolving storm... Predict Wind is showing gust in the 50 knt range likely either late Sunday or Monday across 3 of the 4 models. Anyone think there may be a link to the Tonga volcano, all the ash up high, and this completely screwed up weather pattern? The weather has been fucked since either cyclone Cody of the volcano (which occurred over the same weekend if I remember right). I had to formally apologize to my osteo for the weather. She has just moved here from the UK, and was expecting calm sunny crisp Feb weather/ not this soggy, grey, damp, humid shit. She left England to get away from soggy grey and damp... The weather we are seeing this summer was pretty much predicted as a consequence of another La Nina cycle. The exception to that is the hammering the west coast is taking

It’s started - already > 50kts up top and looks like it could get worse. As the cyclone said to the coconut tree: “Hang on to your nuts, this is going to be one hell of a blow job!”

Put extra lines on windward side of the boat. We are pretty exposed being the end of the pier.

I think it’s still building in Auck. No wonder I had the water to myself this morning at Herne Bay beach…

Just popped up to Orewa and back. It would have not been anywhere as exciting* if I'd taken a 4 wheeler.
