The two monsoons which affect Hong Kong every year are the "Winter Monsoon" and the "Summer Monsoon". The winter monsoon is a wind, often higher than gale-force, which comes at the NE quarter and brings us clear blue skies, very dry conditions, and endless sunny weather. It comes in what are referred to as "monsoon surges". As each surge arrives, the Observatory may decide to hoist the Strong Monsoon Signal to warn people of gale-force or higher winds. The Summer monsoon blows generally at the South to SW direction and brings very moist air and very high humidity. Its winds also can exceed gale-force at times, necessitating the hoisting of the Strong Monsoon Signal. The summer monsoon always means that the skies will be cloudy all day and it will often be raining. In contrast to the monsoons, this area has Tropical Cyclones, which are separate distinct circular storms. Our Observatory here hoists Typhoon Signals when one of these is likely to affect Hong Kong. In Taiwan, which is only about 800 km at here, the same two monsoons would apply, although I don't think the Summer monsoon would be as dry there as it is here, because the East China Sea is to the NE of Taiwan. The conditions affecting Taiwan today have no connection at all with any monsoon; they are caused by the passage through the Bashi Channel of Severe Tropical Storm Nangka. After the storm has passed, its presence to the East of the island will however enhance the SW monsoon for a day or so, allowing it to bring extra rain to the southern half of the island.

Thanks for that Phil..the dictionary describes monsoon as a wind system that reverses direction seasonally. In general usage I'd say it refers to the inclement weather that results.

A system such as NANGKA passing through will usually cause a fairly strong SW blow at behind it for a day or so. When the winds are persistently SE, they are also referred to as the "Trade Winds". It is actually difficult to tell what direction the overall wind comes at where I live, because I am in a deep and narrow valley running NE to SW between two parallel ranges of mountains. This tends to cause the winds measured here to be always either NE or SW winds. So an Easterly or a Northerly both become NEerly and a Southerly of any description becomes a SWerly as it passes here.

This day is figured to be the day in which the season of Winter gives way to the season of Summer. So tomorrow, 4th of June, is the "official" day. It is an official Public Holiday in all countries which follow the Chinese Lunar Calendar which records the date tomorrow as the 5th day of the 5th month of the year. Typically the Southerly winds will begin to occasionally replace the Northerly flow several times during the month and a half prior to 5th/5th. Less commonly we experience late surges of the NE monsoon later than 5th/5th. Generally for about one and a half to two months we have alternating patterns of Northerly or Southerly winds for as short as one day or as long as a week at a time. Most often, the Chinese astrologers get it right and the cloudy wet Summer weather begins on 5th/5th according to the Chinese calendar. This date falls on a variety of very different dates on our Western calendar. Therefore, if using the Western calendar in some years the monsoons change a month earlier or later than in other years. It seems to me that this year is about average, but I tend not to think of the Western calendar when considering weather, so I can't say for sure whether the Summer monsoon is early or late. Feels like its right on schedule to me.

Tropical disturbances form in the Monsoon Trough and can become cyclones and induce the South West Monsoon but even weak T D's can do that. THe Monsoon is conected with the trough not the Cyclones .

With my arm twisted up my back I'll say that my understanding is that the word monsoon is derived at the same root as moon. Because the moon causes the weather, the eastern lunar calendar, tied to the moon, was always a device to better measure expected weather changes which is why it was retained over thousands of years and even to this day. The history of the solar calendar was that it was an early effort to distance society at paganism, of which the moon was the chief symbol. In so doing we lost our line to accurate weather forecasting. So yes, whenever the monsoons are on time, and they generally are as Phil reports, it is another victory for the moon-weather theory. I saw this monsoon weather coming back in April 16. I am unaware of the calendar as it exists in Phil's neck of the woods and am fascinated by what he says. All I did was look at the moon's orbiting characteristics for June and it appeared somewhat earlier this year. cheers Ken www.predictweather.com ----- Original Message ----- at : "John Woodbridge" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 7:47 PM Subject: RE: aus-wx: Early monsoons? > Yo Ken, > > Sounds like the Chinese lunar calendar is a hell of lot better at > defining the seasons than is the Western calendar, at least in that > part of the world.

A severe thunderstorm was located near Smithton at 4am and appears to located near Devonport at 530am. Unfortunately the storm took out the Bureau's radar at West Takone just after 430 am and we are now unable to accurately track the storms movements. The broad track of the storms would have pushed them into the Launceston area around 6.30 am. . Lightning, winds strong enough to bring down some tree branches and power lines and locally very heavy rain are expected with the storm. The State Emergency Service advises that, before the storm arrives, people should secure outside items, move cars under cover and then go indoors. Telephone companies recommend that you don't use the telephone during a thunderstorm unless the call is urgent. This is the first Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Tassie I ever seen, so there's a first! ===== Andrew Boskell "Some people are weather wise, others are otherwise!" __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

The first squall hit at 23.17 hours accompanied by a thunderstorm, heavy rain and hail. I estimate the wind speed was close to 100 kms/hr and at the Adelaide Airport it was well over that. Powerlines and trees brought down, flooding in many areas with the emergency crews of many utilities attending many callouts by distressed householders. In short a very stormy night last night.

Maybe the weather in Darwin has something to do with the fact that both tropical weather systems being tracked at present are in the Southern Hemisphere: Tropical Cyclone 29P in the SWP is west of Fiji and the Tropical Low in the Coral Sea being warned on by BoM Qld is near Papua New Guinea. The recent Tropical Cyclones here have both gone in quite unusual tracks. Weather just is not being real sensible right now. Come to think of it, it never is really sensible! I guess that's the feature that makes it really exciting.

An ASWA member has been out there for an assessment today and reckons it was an F0. Good to see not one mention of the 'mini' word by any media outlet today either. In fact, news services tonight are warning that more tornados are possible tonight as according to the BOM, the weather could be more severe than last night's in some areas. A SWA and a STW is out for Adelaide with possible squalls to 120km/h. I have received 25mm at the system since yesterday morning. Could possibly double that by tomorrow night. Tim.
