That's what clear skys do to us - the sun shines ands warms us up, but the heat dissipates rapidly at night.

Very cold here during the evening/night here over the weekend - mind you during the day it was lovely. Today ? though what's happened? Windy Wellington again.

Lovely few days north of Auckland. Getting a wee bit of colour going

An Arctic storm system is pushing southwards across the Midwest, and by early Friday it will be-5°C here. At least the forecast is only for cold, not for snow or ice.

We only see snow these days if we travel to it.

Very warm and windy today. Feels stormy but I am hoping for some rain , otherwise there will be early water restrictions.

No. No. No no. Do not get started on temperatures. It is what New Zealanders think of as "weather".

Weather is stuff that occurs - rain, snow, wind, sunshine (not too often seen that one), hail, etc. I think of temperature as a bi-product of weather. To kiwis, temperature IS weather.

As in "ooh it was eighteen degrees this morning... so nice". But it rained for seven hours then got really windy, so actually the weather was rubbish (again). Who cares what the temperature was if the weather meant that it was crap outside?

I despise the fools on TV with their 'National High was in Gisborne' claptrap. Redonkeylous
