South Island, NZ Weather

Well it is summer time [well it is meant to be] We should be having temps of 20 C to 25 C, but today it is 8 C with rain and snow on the hills. :reindeer:
And they talk about global warming.

horrible at this end of NZ too
10.5oc here with hail and heavy rain and 53 knots (57mph) gusts in squalls just before miday!
it should be 23oC, not 10.5oC!!!

heading for the coldest december on record by the looks, currently 5oC colder than normal!!!

the weather pattern looks like it will settle down for xmas
