Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's time to catch up with their resident weather guru
here on the muster, Phil Duncan from weather Watch, still
(00:29):
undefeated a Ladas marset, Phil Duncan, Good afternoon, Good afternoon,
How are you doing pretty good weather wise? It hasn't
been cold. You're not angry, you're disappointed. We're just looking
for some sunshine, mister Duncan.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, it's been a it's been a really messy summer,
but we are seeing a better weather forecast coming through.
It's not perfect. There's still cold fronts coming in every week,
but they are are fairly short lived, and so you've
got some warmer weather coming in this weekend. Definitely not
hot though, but it's going to be into the twenties,
(01:05):
the lower lower twenties, and the sun should be out
at time, a bit of cloud around, but nothing too much.
And then on Monday that's the next cold front coming through,
and so so Monday you get the wet weather coming
with that, and a bit of wind as well, sort
of a gusty westerly. And then we get to Tuesday
and that wind is still around a webit but clearer,
(01:25):
drier skies, but the temperature down. So Monday's high seventeen
or so Tuesday sixteen. They can go a degree or
so higher than that if the sun comes out and
the wind eases back a bit, but it warms back
up again by Wednesday next week, back into the twenties.
Twenty two degrees expected Wednesday Thursday, and then the next
cold front comes in again on Friday of next week.
(01:46):
White time you day. So there's a little bit of
rain coming, probably about twenty twenty five millimeters over the
next ten days coming through for Gore itself.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Southern Field days, Las Time. In two weeks, we're getting
well through the event. Are we going to see sunshine
in two weeks?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'd hope so, because we've seen a fair bit of
high pressure finally moving in over the country now, and
so that that brings us if it goes a little
further north the center of it, that is, if it's
further up the country, that brings in westerlies for you,
which are typically quite warm. And if it if those
highs are just stopping short of New Zealand, then you
get the colder southwesterly. So there's sort of a subtle
(02:25):
difference between those two. And so that's the placement of
the high pressure will be further north of you by
by some of them ways that we measure it, so
it'll be it'll be mostly dry going into February, except
for these you know, these brief cold fronts that are
still brushing us. And you know that's to be expected
with the summer we've got at the moment and the
way the high pressure is parked. So it's not a
(02:47):
bad forecast, but it's it's certainly not super hot, but
it's not super cold. Although I got to say tonight's
low four degrees that is not not exactly warm.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So we almost had a frost on Tuesday easing actually
it didn't happen. We're getting close to that autumn state already,
dare I say it. No frost or anything yet.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, no frosts other than tonight being going to four degrees,
but that shouldn't bring a frost, although it's getting getting
close to it. And in fact, I was talking to
the company in Australia in Sydney called weather Zone and
they provide the maps that we use in my weather videos,
and I was just talking to the accounts that they're
paying up the bill, and she just mentioned to me
that she's noticed that the trees have started to change color.
(03:30):
Where she is in I think she's in Sydney, or
maybe she might be Adelaide. I can't remember. I think
it's Sydney, and so that's interesting to hear like that
the trees are changing color. They've had some strange weather
over in Australia, like it's been obviously they've got this
heat wave going on, but they've had a pretty miserable
summer up until now, and now it's miserable for the
(03:50):
other reason. It's too hot, but it was too cold before.
Victorian's saying, you know, it's it's been miserably cold. And
so if you're in Victoria or Tasmania through Melbourne and Hobart,
they are having a similar summer to what the South
Island has had, where it's just been very messy, very
unsettled and sort of not really big long hot stretches
(04:12):
of dry, sunny conditions. Now they're probably regretting that they've
asked for the heat because it's been nearly fifty degrees.
I mean, it's unbelievably hot in parts of Australia. Although
they've got a cold change coming on Sunday, and that's
the same cold change that you're getting are going into
Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, suddeny's looking at twenty six atto Melbourne, but Adelaide,
for goodness sake, thirty seven degrees today Melbourne earlier this
week getting to the late forties. That's a summer heat.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And you know what, as you know, that's crazy, right,
But then I mentioned it in my video the other day,
and then I got all these people telling me about
the overnight temperatures, and so they were waking up one
place woke up to thirty seven degrees at sunrise, I
mean degrees by day little nighttime.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And then you compare that little old gore, we've got
sixteen for the next couple.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, it's temperate. Like I, you know, I prefer the
weather to be a couple of degrees colder than a
couple of degrees hotter. Not everyone's like that. Most people,
I think, probably like the heat of it more. But
I just find it of that kind of overwhelming that
you can't do anything. But when it's a little bit cold,
you can sort of move around and warm up. You
can't move around and cold cool down.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So yeah, I agree with that logic, and not in January.
But nonetheless, look as far as he's easteries, we've been
seeing the westerlies as well. When is it going to
be a concern?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
When's not really a concern. Although you point out something
that I've been saying a lot lately that the web
directions all are changing a lot. That's what I mean
by sort of a messy weather pattern. One of the
things that becomes perhaps a little bit more consistent over
the next ten days couple of weeks is I think
we're going to see more of the westerly winds other
than around Sunday and going, yeah, Sunday sort of is
(05:55):
when we get sub norderlies coming through ahead of that
Monday cold change, but really a lot of westerly in
the forecast coming up, and so that's a bit more
predictable where the pattern that's sort of a bit more
of our usual and so I think the weather is
a little more it sort of it plays the role
that we used to when it's westerly driven, but we've
had a lot of varying windflows and further up the country,
(06:17):
if you're in coastal areas, you notice a lot more
than inland areas. So if you're in Bluff, you know,
and you get a normally one day in a southwesterly
the next day, that's a really big difference in temperature.
But if and similar stories and places like christ Church,
you know, in northwest one day southeasterly the next day,
that's a twelve to fifteen degree temperature difference. And so
those those extremes are being noticed more in the coastal areas.
(06:40):
Inland areas like where you are, not quite so much
of those big temperature changes going on. But we are
seeing ups and downs with the temperatures because of these
cold fronts coming through. Like I said, Monday, Tuesday and
then again White Tangui Day. Those are the sort of
the cold fronts that we're seeing at the moment.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Good on your field, Argon, We always appreciate your time
on the Must.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Have a good one.
