The results of our latest reader poll are in, and it seems a reasonably even split between those who are clinging to the past and those who are looking forward to Autumn.

Just under 50% of respondents said they were still clinging to what remains of Summer, and didn’t want to turn their clocks back for daylight savings – in parts of the North Island you would still be fooled – and with a big high remaining in place over the country, the prospect of Summery weather is certainly better than the prospect of avoiding daylight savings this year!

On commenter reflected this mood, saying:

“I want my hour back!!! If it turns out we have daylight saving all year round then I might just forfeit the whole thing as an act of protest.”

This would probably make it difficult to make it to get to appointments on time, but other than that, it’s a flawless plan! Maybe here at Weatherwatch we could start a revolution…?

Until then – remember to check out our new poll – up on the site tomorrow morning at 10!
