Hi Neighbours,
As we approach summer we are reminded of the change we are seeing in our New Zealand seasons.

We can all recall the images of the impacts of extreme recent rains in urban Auckland and rural Canterbury. As summer temperatures warm and the season gets longer and longer, the cooling degree day analysis and heatwave days can help you to prepare for such events.

Climate Insights has added two new variables to its Residential Property Climate Risk Report: tropical cyclone and tsunami risk. Information is knowledge. A Climate Insights property report on your residential property also includes tips on what can be done to improve the resilience of your property and householders to emerging weather and climate risks. It only takes minutes to generate a report for any address.

Disgusting Behaviour....

Chris from Maunu

I'm so disgusted and outraged, I had to share......We were in Pak 'n Save yesterday. A woman reached into the cabinet containing rolls (buns) and touched about 6 other rolls, before choosing two. I said....I think you're supposed to use the tongs. Oh right.....she said. We can … View moreI'm so disgusted and outraged, I had to share......We were in Pak 'n Save yesterday. A woman reached into the cabinet containing rolls (buns) and touched about 6 other rolls, before choosing two. I said....I think you're supposed to use the tongs. Oh right.....she said. We can wash/peel fruit and vegetables, but can someone explain how we clean bread? What is the point of all of the advice to wash our hands, be masked up etc., if dirty women like her are around my food?

Kia ora neighbours. A woman who breached Auckland's Covid border ended up having to be rescued, after her vehicle got stuck in a sand dune at the nesting site of the country’s rarest endemic bird.

According to the Department of Conservation (DOC), the woman and her dog stayed overnight in the vehicle after it got stuck in sand at the Mangawhai wildlife refuge last weekend.

DOC manager Craig Deal said the police were called and DOC compliance officers will be following up with the woman, over her entering a wildlife refuge with a vehicle and a dog, both of which are prohibited and carry an $800 infringement notice.

The site is one of four tara iti (fairy tern) nesting sites located just north of Auckland, and protected by Northland Reserves Bylaws.

With a population of fewer than 40 birds, the birds have been near extinction since the 1980s and require a lot of human help to ensure their survival.

The attached video from the 2020 breeding season shows the steps taken to protect fairy tern eggs during a storm. (Video credit: Ricky Wilson/Stuff)
