People have made threads about seasonal lags. Now are they aware of 'daily high lag' too or is it just me?
Most of the time here, especially in summer, when we're supposed to get a high of say 35C (95F), it doesn't seem to reach that mark until like, 4:00pm and even 5:00pm. Shouldn't the hottest time of the day be at 2:00pm-3:00pm? That lagging pattern seems a bit common in Sydney.
What causes this? Is it the change of winds? Or, since how the heat is building up all day, it somehow 'climaxes' at the end of the day (when the sun is almost going DOWN)?
Well,my lad. In my climate the lag is quite high in the winter. We often reach maximum temperatures late, sometimes in the evening. Due to the oceanic effect. In the spring/summer it's earlier, co-inciding with the sunshine angle more closely. However, I've only been recording temperatures here since November 2nd, so I'm not sure how much lag we see in summer exactly. But I'll soon find out.
