A weather bomb, technically known as bombogenesis, is when a depression drops 1 hectopascal (hPa) per hour for 24 hours.
WeatherWatch’s chief meteorological analyst Philip Duncan previously described it as “the equivalent of a tire blowout,” where air pressure plummets and “conditions quickly become unstable.”
GFS and ECMWF computer modeling shows that by noon on Monday, the Southern Ocean storm could drop to as low as 936hPa.
“This would make this storm deeper than the hurricanes that recently hit the United States,” says WeatherWatch.
“There will also be a huge air pressure gradient between this storm and the tall building over southeastern Australia. In fact, there may be a range of almost 100hPa (which is impressive) between the center of the height and the center of this. storm. “
How bad is it for New Zealand?
Fortunately, current models show that the ‘weather bomb’ will be in the Southern Ocean and will not track directly over New Zealand. Weather bombs in New Zealand tend to cause isolated but serious damage.
But it will still bring a gust of spring wind and cold air.
