Wellingtons weather is no shittier than ours in Auckland,its only a bit cooler on average and the wind run is about the same due to the very few real windy days in the year ie when there is a slow front over the SI in a NWer or a deep depression off hawkes bay or wairapapa giving a southely but other than those exceptions its much more settled than auckland

Mean hourly wind speeds

Auckland Airport 18km/h
Wellington Airport 27km/h
Christcurch Airport 14km/h

In the case of Auckland, the airport would be the windiest location in the city as its stuck out on the Manukau Harbour.

I thought the windiest place in Auckland was Micheal's front garden?

hey, what about if you lived in whakatane Michael?
the SWer there doesnt arrive until late morningor afternoon,a nd then dies quickly again at night, and they get nice sunny days

and yes the spring has got a feel about it that we are going to see lots of SWers right up to xmas (becuase of the weak el nino (a weak el nino probbaly gives us more swers)
