852182 2010-01-26 08:01:00 I think they've just given up predicting. They just pull it out of a hat and then when it inevitably is wrong, they just say "meh" and go back to the hat. beeswax34 (63)

In this regard at least, Auckland is firmly aligned with the rest of the country.

A similar thing for Tauranga. We seem to be having a lot of very dry rain or showers here.
