It has been a rainy few days since returning from the weekend in Dunedin, the coldest since my arrival.
The temperature for wednesday was a chilly
Max: 11°C (Day)
Min: 5°C (Night)
Showers. Strong cold southwesterly.
Apparently the reason for the weather is "shuttlefuls of Antarctic air have been forced onto New Zealand -- we had the warm front on Monday night and the cold front arrived last night" as NZ metservice spokesman said.
In fact, there were periods when I was leaning into the wind while walking today. The water coming out of the tap seems like ice water, hurting my fingers when I wash my hands.
Hopefully the weather will turn fine soon. And my neighbour just told me winter will be colder.
Better rug up with warm clothing soon.
I think it is because of the weather that the streets are so quiet. There doesn't seem to be any vehicles on the roads as I write this. Usually at 11 + pm there are still vehicles but today, all is quiet. No noise on my floor too. I guess everyone is huddled up in bed somewhere wearing like 3 or 4 layers trying to get through tonight. Silence so deafening I can hear a pin drop... not necessarily a bad thing huh
