The result of our latest poll show how divided the country is when it comes to what weather people are wanting in January.

With so many people on holiday or about to be it’s understandable that there is high demand for “Hot and dry” weather as we head into January. 30% of those who voted – the largest group – say this is what they want.

But close by is the next group of people with 28% saying they want January to be wetter – as the nation deals with droughts and possible more to be announced. Farmers, gardeners and growers are becoming desperate for rain now.

With results like this it shows the forecast for some wet weather in some regions next week will be both very welcome and not welcome at the same time.
