It’s probably not a surprise but the majority of New Zealanders who voted in WeatherWatch.co.nz’s most recent poll say this summer is “awful”.

61% responded to the question “Are you disappointed with the summer weather?” with “Yes, it’s awful!”.

Just one quarter (25%) of those who voted say summer is “Pretty good”.

14% couldn’t make up their mind.

WeatherWatch.co.nz says a more traditional summer pattern should start to move in for many populated areas next week but that southern and south western New Zealand may still be caught up in this unsettled, sometimes cold, weather pattern.
