Speaker 1 (00:01):
Can we.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome back to the muster at this time for Phil
Duncan and we're a watch.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Phil Duncan, Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Do you think Elanas Morrisset would be flattered knowing we
do this every week?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm sure she would be. I think that she would
take it as a giant honor that a radio station
in cor and a small private weather forecast using her
song each and every week. She'll be happy with the royalties. Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Absolutely, shout out to Atlatis. Hey, beautiful day down here
in the Deep South. Was at the start of the week,
were you always had the fire going? How are we looking?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah? It's I mean yeah, there's no ways to sort
of say any other way. We are in autumn, the
autumn where the pattern is certainly here for some areas,
it was probably there in January. And as we look
forward over the next week or two, I basically see
more of autumn's westerlies arriving, and so I think we're
going to be seeing still got some high pressure zones
(01:23):
moving through. So don't get me wrong, We've still got
a number of good, settled, fairly dry days on the way,
and the temperatures actually aren't too bad. Overall, but they
are really up and down. So like here's a good example. Today,
You'll be around twenty five degrees today, similar story tomorrow,
really good summer weather. You know, that's warmer than some
of the temperatures you had in summer. But then Sunday
(01:45):
the higher is only fifteen, Monday the high is only fourteen,
and the overnight low on Monday is only three. But
then by Wednesday next week get back to twenty one
degrees as the maximum and overnight lows in the double digits.
So it is up and down, up and down now,
and that's only going to get more noticeable as we
go through this month and going towards April.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So that's just awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's come early.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I mean it's you know, in
some sense, you're getting some warmer days than you've had
in a while coming through. So I'm not sure if
it was you. I was talking to someone else a
couple of weeks ago, but that's something that we can
get in March. We can get a lift in temperatures
because the windy Westerly is returned and they push our
temperatures up, so, you know, rather than a calm cloudy
(02:30):
day in Southland with a light southerly or a light
southwesterly blowing through. If you get a windy western northwesterly,
often the sun comes out and you end up with
those temperatures going into the twenties. So that's why we've
got some pretty good weather coming through over today and
tomorrow from a temperature point of view. And then of
course the old southerly kept back in again next week
(02:51):
and that's when the temperatures drops, so it's all over
the place with a mix of summer days and increasingly
autumnal days.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, we had frosts on too, on Monday and Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I think it was.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, that's right, and I think we will see more
frost coming up, you know again on Monday night this Monday,
coming up overnight lower three, so I'm pretty sure there'll
be a bit of ice around here. And there after
that though, the temperatures are back up again, so it's
it's not looking overly frosty, but there could be a
frost on Monday night coming up. But apart from that
(03:25):
Monday night Tuesday morning, apart from that, don't really see
much in the way of frosts over the next ten days.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So there's nothing sinister in the forecast either, so the
harvest boys and girls can get things all tidied up.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The good thing at the moment is there are high
pressure zones coming into the country and so on. Like
I said, there's a brief southerly on Sunday, but the
reason why the temperature drops on Monday night down to
three is because you've got high pressure coming in following southerly.
So you know, sunny, sunny were the clear skies excuse me,
(03:57):
bringing light winds, and so that states the four car
next week high precious smack bang over to South Island,
and by Wednesday of next week, that high is out
over the Channel Islands and that brings down a north
to northwesterly wind, and then again by looks like by
the Friday of next week, Friday the thirteenth, that's when
we get another proper cold southerly change coming in. That'll
(04:18):
be another one like the one we had at the
start of this week, where it's a proper I see
southerly and the whole country pretty much feels it. So
that's that you know, we're actually going into a textbook
March weather pattern at the moment.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
As far as wind does. At a meeting last night,
out at why moment, at the field, those sides, and
out of nowhere, these huge guests appeared. Are we got
anything to be concerned about?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Or pretty straightforward bit of a brisk northerly wind picking
up today north to northwesterly wind, or we'll pick up
a wee bit around lunchtime.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Apart from that, No, not really anything too significant. I
think next weekend. If we end up getting this this
wintry sort of southerly next week, I think we can
expect it's a southerly flow, but you might get the
strong westerly winds or west or southwesterly winds next weekend.
So that's something to keep an eye on. So apart
from today and maybe a little bit on Sunday as
(05:13):
that cold front comes in. Really the next lot of
wind will be next weekend, So no, wind does not
looking like a major problem.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Overall question for you, the term brisk. There's not many
ways in life you can describe this, or you go
for a brisk walk or a brisk one brisk run. Sorry,
but brisk temperatures certainly an underesting word.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Brisk, because yeah, you're right, because you can use brisk
for the temperature and brisk for the wind. It's funny
that you just pointed out I've never actually really thought
about that. We use the word brisk a lot to
describe wind speed on our websites. That's because I don't know.
I find brisk to me in my mind, and tell
(05:56):
me if you think I'm wrong. But brisk to me
sounds like a fairly strong wind, but not necessarily what
I would describe as a strong wind. You know, it's
it's it's noticeable, it's annoying, but it's not knocking trees down.
I don't think a brisk wind knocks trees down, whereas
a strong wind does that. That's my mind setting. It's
all subjective though.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
As an underrecent word. It's not like how is your holiday?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, what's bresk?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
And the other.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Terminal, sorry for the other piece of terminology here is
on your website and when you give your weather forecast,
which is what I use for the mustard. Coincidentally, you
never say the word fine it's always sunny.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah. I don't like the word fine because fine can
be a cloudy day, and that that to me, is
is weird. It's weird to say that. It's actually there's
another one in there that I also that I use sparingly,
And it's a bit like the word bresk the word fresh.
So the word fresh can describe the temperature, can also
describe the wind speed, and so a fresh a fresh
(06:55):
easterly wind. But I don't like using the word fresh
if it's a warm wind because I think when humans,
when we think of the word fresh, most of us
think of it as being like, oh, it's a good
fresh wind, you know, if we've got a bit of
a bite to it, a bit of a subtherly in there.
Even though the original terminology for the word is fresh
was just a certain, you know, nautical term for a
(07:16):
wind speed, and so it's it's got different meanings, you know.
It depends on who you talk to. So I use
words depending on how most majority of people would pick
up that word, and so I do use different terminology.
I use the word breezy I think too much, or
I think we're just saying the other day the day.
We need to maybe put the word light in there
more than breezy. But I use breezy because light to
(07:38):
me means I can barely feel the wind, whereas a
little bit breezy is I can just feel a little
bit of a breeze. It's blowing the napkins off the
table when we're sitting outside, right, So light winds may
not do that, but a breezy wind wood so you
can talk about this stuff forever.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Here's a breezy fresh hit from a Laddis Mors sent
from the mid nineties to see you out today, Phil.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Dugan, all the wat very very clever, very.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Clear foodagg and to with a watch up Nicks for
shell Wad and the country Crossover. I don't check in
Speaker 1 (08:09):
On No
