| 850509 | 2010-01-21 05:42:00 | Where do they get their info from? The forecast today was for rain and thunder. I picked peas under the blue skies and hot sun. Checked the thermometer at 2pm (in the shade) and it was 33 degrees. Even I felt hot today and I get picked on for being a wimpy Jaffa here. It has just this minute started to rain a bit. No thunder. No black clouds, just grey. Oh and the high for Invy was supposed to be 21. I know we are a wee bit far from there and have better weather than them but that's a rather enormous local variance. |

Stop nit-picking and accept the fact that errors are not the forecasters fault. It is just the weather that is wrong, and patently failed to meet the official guidelines and specifications issued. The weather you had was void, and will have to be replaced tomorrow. This has happened before. |

| 850513 | 2010-01-21 06:04:00 | Too hot for my tastes, I don't like it. When is the forecast ever right? ;P |

| 850514 | 2010-01-21 06:12:00 | I tell my grandaughter, that many years ago, there was a rope hanging down from the sky which was used to change the weather. One pull for rain and two pulls for sunshine. All worked verywell for years until a farmer decided to plant a crop that needed lots of rain at different times than all the other farmers, right in the middle of the crops that needed lots of sunshine. Well, the battle for control ensued, and from then on, one minute it was pouring and the next minute it was raining!! Lots of shouting and fighting going on. Then, the rope broke in the middle of a particularly savage fight for supremacy. That is why the weather has been changeable since that day. Ken :thumbs:;) |

| 850515 | 2010-01-21 06:18:00 | If I remember correctly you are in Gore which could have a vastly different temp from Invercargill because of the sea breezes there. I remember working for Toby Smith's shearing gang in Herriot and it got pretty damn hot there. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

I usually look at the Gore forecast, not Invercargill but Gore was way out too. And usually is. |
