• Risico

  Heat when the sea breeze drops

  1 mei – 25 jun · meestalExtreme hitte

  The dangerous weeks are the ones the sea breeze fails and the humidity stays; the 2015 heatwave killed more than a thousand people in the city under exactly that pattern. Power cuts make indoors worse than out. Bron ↗

  Urban flooding

  The sea breeze steadies, the wedding season starts and the city eats outdoors again. Beach huts at Hawke's Bay are gone by Thursday for the weekend, and it is the only stretch when walking anywhere is reasonable.
