Weather Summary for May in Queenstown.

May in Queenstown was a pleasant month with rain somewhat below normal and a corresponding slight increase in sunshine hours, with temperatures again above normal.

Rainfall for the month was 63.2 mm which fell on 9 days, the heaviest daily fall being 20.3 mm on the 8th. Normal rainfall for the month is 77.5 mm. Although below normal it was not as dry as last month when only 26.1 mm fell. This now brings the total for the year up to 306.6 mm with the average for the first 5 months being 359 mm,

Air temperatures continued above normal. The mean temperature for last month was 7.9 degrees with the average being 7.1 degrees. Highest maximum was 18.4 degrees on the 7th, lowest minimum was minus 0.6 degrees on the 3rd and lowest grass minimum was minus 4.7 degrees on both the 7th and 22nd. There was only the 1 air frost last month although more than normal ground frosts of 19 were recorded.

Not surprisingly the sunshine hours were above normal, 99.8 hours measured against the average of 91.7 hours.

Very little of any significance was noted during the month, with little wind and only 2 occasions when snow fell to relatively low levels on the mountains. Most of this has now gone.

NEW: David's forecast is once again published simultaneously at the old southernlights site - it's now easier to read there and has scope for improvements.
