There are a lot of people including me pretty disappointed with New World running out of promotion prizes well before the promotion finishes.
This is not the first time this has happened , leaving many people on their own or with small families ( who don't buy big volumes )missing out on what they wanted even though they have bought extra items to get stickers to achieve this. This has happened 3 times that l know of so the management should have sorted this issue before now. I suggest we BOYCOT NEW WORLD for some days ! Then they might get the message that tempting buyers to buy more ( to get stickers) and not delivering the rewards is just not acceptable!

Rainfall was again well below average and it was sunnier than usual. We again escaped the severe weather events of some regions, and local warnings again failed to eventuate, although there were a couple of scary wind storms.

The average daily maximum temperature was 17.1 degrees, only three points below average, largely due to an increase in temperatures towards the end of the month. However, eastern areas of central New Zealand were a degree or more warmer due to the same nor-westerlies raising their temperatures. Blenheim had 11 days over 20 degrees, we had one, that on the last day of the month.

Rainfall of around 70 mm was deficient by about 25 percent; not a good sign for summer.

The lack of sunshine early in the month saw an increase later, with the equivalent of 18 sunny days being above average.

With the wind decreasing and increasing sunshine, November could be a summer month (based on a 20 degree temperature average) as it often is, but with an average of 19.3 degrees over the last decade it cannot be guaranteed.
