Auckland NZ late spring

[mific]

Bringing you something very different from the Southern hemisphere. Late spring in New Zealand and my backyard is a jungle - the toon tree has gone mad and sent offshoots up everywhere - it's the pale pink leaves in the photo. Sunny today, but there were spring storms not long ago with blustery rain and wind, and a big bamboo trunk has fallen across the garden (I use the term 'garden' loosely) and will need to be cut down. Pleasant out right now in late afternoon, a light breeze and 19 degrees C (66F). I'm having a cuppa before cracking on with some paperwork.

Sure. We'd better have, for us downunder types:

season.spring
season.summer
location.nz.auckland

(Hmmm, actually I think it's technically still spring? Found a source on the net that said Summer/Winter is Dec+Jan+Feb in fact). I'll edit my post.

Auckland's the province as well as the city. Or if you want fewer NZ tags, just have location.nz.north island and location.nz.south island (climate differs a bit).

ETA: oh hey - how do you html code the degree sign?

"What season is it" is one of those things that can be answered a hundred different ways! If you think it's summer, then you get to tag your post summer; I won't police that. :)

I don't know the HTML for it, but you can copy the character from here: º On a Mac you get it by typing option-0.
