How is it that the wind has been blowing SE at the airport for the last couple of hours but Kurnell is showing NNE for the same period?
Is this some wierd wind phenomenom or is the wind meter in kurnell out of wack?
Would hate to be out in the middle of the bay caught between the two directions.

No that is typical for Botany bay. I have seen this heaps of times, something to do with the shape of the coast and the land running from south head down through randwick and surrounding suburbs through to the airport and the bay.
In a light NE you can also see mini tornadoes forming across the bay after a jumbo lands!!

Cya and

Goodwinds

Wind has picked up a fair bit and Kurnell is still out of wack with the rest of the bay. I'm guessing its bent.

BOM has the Kurnell weather station out of action and I think its the same one as seabreeze. Anyway Ricardo needs to have a web cam on his roof so we can all see what's going on.

Kev;
Regarding the pic on page 6 of a well known Kurnell personality...for once the often misused term "gay" can be appropriately applied.

thank you. it took a few therapy sessions but i'm told that i'm completely fine now and all I have left to conquer are the erotic dreams about Ita Buttrose and the craving for brand power products.
