Anyone else think that summer here is just too short and winter far too long? The worst thing about summer here is the sun, you go out, you get burned and peel and many years down the line, are very prone to skin cancer.... it kinda sucks really!! I work to long to enjoy the summers here in NZ.... At least it stays lght for long, so thats cool

Yeah, I think they need to shorten the work days during the middle of summer because it seems so short, really only maximum of 3 months of decent summer. That whole La nen ya (whatever it's called) that causes our summers to be stuffed up sucks, I don't know if it's still in effect but it was really bad a couple of years ago. It gave us one really good, long summer but since then the North Island has had crappy summers, dont know about the South Island.

Ack. I want spring and autumn to be way longer, and winter and summer to be a bit shorter. Some days it's so hot it's depressing. Boy, do I feel sorry for the South Islanders who got 40 Degrees yesterday! That's mad, man!

Yeah, I'm glad I'm not in the South Island at the moment, spring is really good 'cause it isn't too hot.
