The results of WeatherWatch.co.nz’s weekly poll this week shows almost half of New Zealanders who voted aren’t getting outside as much, with all the rough weather lately.

47% said they weren’t spending as much time outdoors this winter.

16% said they have spent more time outside.

The next week ahead sees more showers and rain but also a number of dry spells and sunny periods. So hopefully, even though the school holidays are over, we may be able to get out a bit more.

The days are also getting a little longer and brighter…not by much, but it’s noticeable now if you look for it.
