Sunday's southerly semed uncharacteristically warm. I can't remember sailing in a southerly 25kts+ with the air temp in the mid to high 20's. This time of year for that strength they normally seem to be cold fronts pushing through after a high, and I tend to need a bit more rubber (well, neoprene) on. I kinda like warm water and strong warm wind from S or SW.

Can any resident meteorologist types (AW?) explain the phenomenon? Is it my failing memory or was the weather pattern unusually warm from the south?

Yep I cant remember a day like it, my wife decided to come along for a change and was saying it was to hot out of the wind.

Easy.. It's been very warm in Tas. 'Hot' Southerly is bound to happen.
