So, I better start the ball rolling.
With all the hand wringing and paranoia around the so called ‘climate crisis’ I wasn’t the least bit surprised to read in my now local paper (Saturday Express; Marlborough) the comparisons in years gone by.
At the pyramid farming region in the Waihopai valley they had 0.2 mm of rain this January.
In January 1978 they had 0 mm of rain.
In January 1939 they had massive 1.5 mm of rain.
In January 2019 had a tropical monsoon with 3.2 mm of rain.
The article goes on to say that New Zealand was 0.1 degrees Celsius above the 1981 – 2010 average.
And for what it’s worth Blenheim’s mean temperature of 17.5C was 0.7C cooler than usual.
So there you go, whip yourselves into a frenzy now
