So far this summer we’ve had gales, snow, hail, thunderstorms, bitter cold, immense heat and drought.
Some parts of NZ have had a pretty settled summer so far while others are still seeing spring and winter weather conditions.
So – how do you rate the weather this summer where you are?

Looking up at my weather station and it says 26 degrees. Its a clear blue sky day as was yesterday. Unfotunately this has been our summer to date! I cant remember a time in recent months since I last saw this much sun! AND NOT 2 DAYS IN A ROW! Almost everyday has been very cloudy or wet or windy and or all at the same time! It has rained on all but 3 days this month. We are already at average rainfall for Invercargill and 1.5 degrees below average daily maximum. Sums it up really!
