Bluddy Wind !
I do not know what is going on with this weather at all. It has definately changed over the past 12 years or so.
The wind here is dreadful. I've never known so much strong wind .

Don't get the wind in the Waikato but it has certainly got hotter and more humid over the 13 yrs I've been here.

Other than that I really have no complaints about the meterological vagueries of Aotearoa. Which is nice.
Driving is still very shite though.

Good for getting washing done
But dangerous as the wet comes so quickly
Its always been gusty as the change in seasons come through
And guys will love the gusty summer winds

Totally agree. The rest of our weather doesn't seem that different but the wind has gone berserk in the last ten years.

Re: Bluddy Wind !
sitting in the spa I got rather concerned that we had a tornado heading our way as the wind suddenly got not only strong but I can only describe as strange. MrF said it was probably always like that in that place in the garden but we had not been in that area before when windy so probably wasn't unusual.
As you maybe aware since coming to NZ I really was not aware that I am a touch wind phobic

I went out and recorded it all, it's all calm now but a bit boring and overcast.

Hold onto your hats! Hope it's not as severe as they are predicting.

What was that last night?
Mega mighty mahoosive storm.
I think they got the weather bomb timing wrong.

Auckland took quite a bashing too and still very gusty here today there's rubbish and bits of trees all over the show. Many trees and power lines were downed overnight, particularly around South Auckland. Roll on Summer!!

Re: Bluddy Wind !
Yeah, as someone whom likes to get out kayaking I hate the wind, though dry, it's seems to have been constantly windier than usual this summer here in Auckland and the Coromandel, after wet n windy spring (which seems to the norm).
