According to the New Zealand Herald (Tuesday morning there):

"The polar blast that brought snow to downtown Auckland for the first
time in 72 years - and created the city's coldest day on record - is
set to worsen in many parts of the North and South Islands."

However, bear in mind that the coldest max they are talking about
is.....

"Climate scientist Georgina Griffiths of the National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research said yesterday was the coldest day ever
recorded in Auckland.

The temperature got up to only 8.2C - compared with the previous
lowest high of 8.7C, on July 4, 1996.

The last time snow settled on the ground in the city was 1939. It fell
to ground level at the airport in 1976."

Bear in mind that the snow in Auckland was just a few brief flurries -
I have seen the pictures.

And as for the penguin - he is having trouble coping with it:

He is in Wellington, 400 miles south of Auckland and a bit colder and
snowier.


My brother in law who lives in NZ is a climate change denier. This
little lot is going to play right into his hands.

Never mind, we all have stupid people in families or extended
families. Actually, Griffiths is only correct in a narrow technical
sense. The records cited are for Auckland Airport, and they do not
extend back past the 1960s.

At Albert Park in central Auckland, which is significantly warmer than
the airport, a maximum of only 7.8C was recorded in July 1930. Albert
Park records ceased after 1989. {Thanks for nothing, the Friedmanite-
Rogergnomes who made the "reforms" which closed a lot of stations and
caused discontinuities in some important records}. So yesterday was
certainly not Auckland's coldest time over any reasonable time span
since records were first measured in the 1850s (values from that
centruy are treated with cuation for the main Auckland site fot eh
time though). Undoubtedly Auckland would have had days colder than
7.8C prior to 1930.
