We’ve had a lot of correspondence and contact from people all over the country – from people simply amazed by the temperatures and conditions so far this winter.

We wanted to know how many New Zealanders were simply bemused by the conditions, and whether anyone was truly concerned…

Well the results are in, and it seems as though the majority of us are pretty happy with how things are – though the 43% who answered ‘to me this is worrying’ are probably in for some more concerning news in the coming months, as temperatures look set to stay high (though rainfall is also heading upwards by the looks).
