Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, Fell Duncan. Not much to talk about on the
weather front, because it's going to be a very good week,
very settled week around the country, which is wonderful. A
couple of things. I just want to ask you about
how wet I'm getting reports of how wet it is
in your home province of Waikato sort of King Country area.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, gooday. It's certainly been been a fairly mild winter
up until recently for places like Waikata and northern areas,
and fairly wet as well as driving through there at
the weekend, and some farms underwater in the areas where
you would expect it to happen. But it does show
you that, you know, when the fences are underwater, that's
a sign that there's been a little bit too much

(00:37):
rain and not as many frosts. Except that's just changed
in the past couple of nights.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
We're during a brilliant winter at the bottom end of
the South Island for farming. Anyhow, I don't want to
be the better of bad news on this one, but
for our friends in the Tasman Nelson region, how are
they looking. I've got twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
They've got really good weather. For now high pressure and
charte much for a number of days to come. But
next week we are monitoring another northerly flow into the country.
It could bring some rain back into to the north
of both of the islands.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Phil, you know I love you as a weather man,
but I hope you're wrong on that one. Thanks for
your time, Phil Duncan
