Absolute rubbish. They've been saying 'fine weather' for weeks and it's been nothing but drizzle. I'll believe it when I see it. Bloody MetService doing their usual guesswork.

stuffed, some of us actually need the rain. But yeah alright, a dry weekend is nice.

you're not wrong. Last Matariki it was bucketing down. They jinxed it now.

Finally some decent weather for Matariki! Keen to take the kids out to see the stars. Hope the frost doesn't kill my vege patch tho 😅

I hope your veges survive! We're gonna do a hangi so fingers crossed the frost stays light.

yeah nah, typical. long weekend = rain. watch this space

Clear skies for stargazing? Great timing. Just hope the council doesn't turn on the stadium lights and ruin it for everyone.

Nice. Means I can actually get some work done on the farm without getting bogged. Frosty mornings are fine by me.

As an astronomy student this is peak content. Clear skies + Matariki = best combo. Gonna be a good weekend for observations.

Sky Murphy2026-07-09T19:57:00.000Z

facts, the stars are gonna be mint!

Course the weather's good when it's a holiday. But when we need it for the crops? Nah, pisses down for weeks. Classic NZ
