Woohoo, Aotearoa NZ, MetService finally here!
Its the first day of the month and not much has changed, yet. Auckland leads in overnight temperatures sitting at 19°C at 7am, while Wellington and Tauranga are not far behind. Ashburton was the real winner though dipping to 10°C, likely making for an easier sleep last night.

Good of MetService to send out an "URGENT" alert two hours later ...
Your friendly rain radar warning that it's about to kick off again in Auckland. Out west, anyway.

🌧️ So this is how a ridge dies. With thunderous applause. 🤺
While we've been enjoying the break with the quieter weather lately, unfortunately that is all set to change later this week. After all, a ridge is a pure idea. They occur spontaneously and without instruction.

Metservice says fine all day, high of 24, so I have done the most risky thing possible for an Aucklander: hung out a load of washing

What annoys me most about Twitter is it's still being actively used by things like Metservice and city councils, and then RNZ will include Twitter links in live updates like Dunedin flooding. Can we just not with that fascist death site?

I think we're up to our third '1 in 100 year event' in 2026, and it's not even April
