great, just what we needed. more dry weather and my boss will be cutting hours again cause the crops are fucked.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-01T19:35:00.000Z

yeah nah, this is just another excuse for power companies to hike prices. watch ur bill go up 20% and they'll blame el nino.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T20:06:00.000Z

true that, my power bill already went up last month for no reason. they're just gonna use this to squeeze us more.

Aria Wilson2026-07-01T20:29:00.000Z

lol facts. and they'll still charge us peak rates even if the sun's out all day and wind turbines are going mental.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T19:47:00.000Z

wait so does this mean we get a proper summer or just more wind and rain? i can't keep up with these climate terms lol

Leo McKenzie2026-07-01T20:22:00.000Z

nah mate, it means warmer and drier in the east, but more rain in the west. classic nz weather – you pick ya poison.

Aria Wilson2026-07-01T20:17:00.000Z

ffs, so spring is gonna be a write-off then? was hoping to do some tramping but i guess i'll stay inside and study instead.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-01T20:40:00.000Z

mark my words, by november aucklands gonna be on water restrictions again. the council can't manage shit.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-01T21:08:00.000Z

the council couldn't manage a puddle in a bucket. they'd put a water tax on the rain if they could.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-01T20:48:00.000Z

what a load of shit. they've been banging on about el nino for months, now it's finally 'declared' like we're supposed to applaud.
