It’s Sunday morning and we thought it was time for another quick weather quiz and we’ve included an international question or 2..
1/ Which year was the summer of the big dry and continuous heatwave in the UK?
2/ Which New Zealand city receives more sunshine each year, Christchurch or Timaru?
3/ True or False… Tokyo receives more snow each year than Dunedin.
4/ True or False… 9 out of 10 lightning bolts strike land rather than oceans.
5/ Which month was the big snow in Canterbury during the winter of 1992?
6/ What is a fogbow?
7/ Has Invercargill ever eclipsed the 30 degree mark?
8/ Which North Island centre has more frosts each year Wanganui or Masterton?
9/ True or False… Auckland is windier overall compared to Christchurch.
10/ Over a 12 month period which New Zealand town recorded just 167mm of rain during the 1960s decade.
We’ll provide the answers this time tomorrow morning and we’d love to hear your results.
