On 2nd May I noted – Unseasonally warm weather likely to stick around – and here we are on the 5th and its – Flooding hits Wellington after heavy rainfall –
In January I noted When New Zealand weather does not behave as IPCC compliant organizations forecast it is referred to as “mad”
That NZ Herald newspaper is a touch wide eyed innocent? I might have to add it to my quirky favourites.
In addition to your Wellington flooding story they are still running “warm May” headlines.
Then the headline about Kiwi deportees from Australia doing crime when they get home. What do the inhabitants of Aotearoa expect?
Exclusive: Australian criminals linking up in New Zealand

Shock horror!! Some of them seem very busy/diligent at their crimes but what is surprising? All that shows is how correct Australia was to boot them out.
I enjoyed the quote by MP Kelvin Davis “Labour MP Kelvin Davis said given New Zealand was a strange country for many deportees,…”
Mate!! it is a strange country for many people.
Then another gem of a headline, “Duncan Garner apologises after naked woman accidentally broadcast on current affairs show”.
www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11633792
What did they expect? the segment was about “naked dining”
Mate!! no worries about the apology, just invite the lady on again, keep a coat handy and enjoy your ratings.
I need a cuppa after this.
This cloud band could give the warm May thing a touchup as it proceeds up the length of Aotearoa. Parts of NSW have had 50mm rain last couple of days.
It is disgusting – more flooding in their unseasonally warm May.
