With autumn continuing to take hold, our weather patterns are steadily changing – all around the South Pacific – from what we’ve seen so far in 2015.

The predominant weather pattern has been dry, warm and settled this year – great for holidaymakers but terrible for our farmers.

We wanted to know how many of our visitors have been cold enough to use heating this year already – be they bar heaters, wood fires, or electric blankets – or whether the summer has clung on long enough to keep everybody happy.

Let us know in this week’s poll, and leave a comment telling us where you’re from below – we will publish the results next week!
