Ch'ch airport was warmer than average in May, with a significant plus for the average Tmax and a smaller deficit for the Tmin - the result of greater diurnal ranges helped by sunnier and drier conditions than average.
The reported Tmin of -1.7C for W'gton Aero is false - the reading was +1.7C - earlier in the month, one night had a Tmin of 16.9C.
Kelburn did have a Tmin of 2.2C during the month, the lowest May reading since 1989, but both sites were warmer than average for May overall. Kelburn has not dropped to 0C or lower since 1965 and perhaps never will again in the "reasonable" long term. Even in the exceptional snow event of August 2011, the low was 0.5C.
Let it be said I'm sick and tired of "coldies" who talk about Antarctic sea ice and conveniently ignore the overall ice mass loss in the region ...
Yikes!.... I've been spreading falsehoods (regarding Wellington airport). I'm blaming it on TV One news/weather.
There certainly hasn't been any sense of unusual cold though, just a cold snap after a warm autumn. Although snow in Napier during May, was newsworthy.
Unusual weather for June here, the next week has forecast max temperatures of 21C-25C, well above the average of 18C.
The rain models are looking bleak once again, less than 20mm forecast for the next fortnight in what is historically the wettest month of the year on average (around 170mm). BOM was forecasting a wetter than average winter but it already is looking unlikely.

4th day of June... 4th day in this month in which the daily highest gets over 20ºC in Buenos Aires...
After experiencing the warmest spring on record last year, the second warmest autumn this year, this is getting totally ridiculous. To make it worse, after a super-rainy 2014, this year the rain seems to have vanished. I guess the second part of the year should be much wetter, considering the influence of El Niño, the same Niño that will very likely give us an above average winter...
Let's see if tomorrow the zonda wind (local foehn) blows in Western Argentina and gifts us some >32ºC figures.

Believe it or not that thing that seems like an impressionist painting is the campus of the univesity of Buenos Aires. 22ºC now, in june. Utterly trash.
Also, in the west of the country San Rafael just smashed it previous record for june. 31.8ºC right now there due to "Zonda" (foehn wind)
