Fronts never reach the part where I live in Northeast, when it reach the tropical latitudes, It is always oriented to the west of the continent, but sometimes when it is strong enough, affect the state of Bahia.
Dewpoints is always high(above 20C), because of the year-round high humidity, even in the dry season.
Is there a place in New Zealand that would be considered to have the best autumn colours? There's nothing in Australia that can really compare to North America in that regard.
Central Otago is renown for it's vibrant autumn colour, but these are exotic species, as NZ deciduous species are more commonly spring deciduous.
Here's some photos from a family trip down to central Otago just last week. Not a lot of colour, but it's been a poor year there as well. The first photo shows typical autumn colour on the west coast.

Gfs 12z showing very cold temperatures to the northern Patagonian plateau in 10 days, with a lowest of -5.5F/-21C in some places, this part of Patagonia is quite wild, I remember they registering 30C+ last summer and now this, yet they don't have a continental climate according to Koppen..

Not so, you can see a large area of temperatures close or below 0F, looking at google earth they are at around 800-1200m, and the reason to Gfs show all this low temperature is due to the snowcover from the previous snowstorm, and as you know, snowcover+clear skies create very cold conditions.
The latitude is 41S, similar to northern California etc, here is an map showing the snowfall accumulation next 10 days, you can see the areas with the highest accumulations is the same with the coldest temperatures.

Great photos Joe; thanks. Looks somewhat like the interior of British Columbia.
Question: what do you mean by spring deciduous? Is it that the leaves turn dry and brown (desiccated) and remain on the tree until spring? Or something else?
