Hi Clyve,

I was looking at that myself earlier today and noticed it had been dawdling=
 along down there over the last week. There's a whole 'queue' of polar fron=
t depressions lined up but this high has decided to mount a left turn detou=
r sign (gosh the Labor Party's left wing must be in the ascendancy!). I tho=
ught I also noticed a suspiciously similar but much less intrusive feature =
at similar latitudes south of the African continent.

This seems to me to be not unusual for June, to have the polar high bulging=
 north in our longitudes. I often wonder if it has to do with the winter so=
lstice...the air down there is so cold it starts to bubble north, more or l=
ess.=20

  Hi all.
  For those interested in synoptic weather just noticed a big high well sou=
th of New Zealand near the Antarctic coast between 160 and 170 east with a =
central pressure of 1035hpa, I would suggest that's a near record for that =
location bearing in mind mean pressure in that area are closer to or less t=
han 1000hpa this time of the year, also suspect some very cold surface air =
in the vicinity of that big high. Clyve H
