New Zealand Climate Update 122 - August 2009

What happened in July, how our climate outlook for the previous three months turned out, global and local sea temperatures and our outlook for August to October.

Global Settings - July 2009

The equatorial Pacific ocean has moved into an El Niño state (with the atmosphere still to adjust), and El Niño conditions are likely to persist through the rest of 2009. Only weak impacts are expected over New Zealand in the coming three month season. In the New Zealand region over the three months August-October, mean sea level pressures are likely to transition towards El Niño-like conditions, with enhanced westerly winds at times.
