2016 has already been an eventful one for international weather news – with bushfires in Australia, storms in the UK and U.S, as well as the earliest ever winter hurricane in the Atlantic, and a Tropical Cyclone closer to home!

With all of this going on, we like to keep our readers and followers informed about international weather events, especially if they have the potential to be damaging or serious – because many of our readers are travellers, or have family and friends overseas – and want to stay up to date.

In this week’s poll we want to know how many Kiwis pay attention to our international weather news, or are we just interested in what’s happening in Aotearoa?

Let us know by voting in this week’s poll, and tell us why in the comments section below!
