Winter in New Zealand - the hot blob in the Tasman has dissipated

This is what I was reporting last year, along with super-warm conditions.





We are having something more akin to a winter - with colder conditions but very little sun.

The meteorologists and people on social media will interpret this as "part of a cycle" and see it in terms of localism.  However the Bot Blob has more or less dissipated compared with elsewhere on the Globe.

Look at the Arctic!
