BRIGHT SUNSHINE
NELSON AGAIN LEADS OFFICIAL FIGURES FOR 1835 Again it has been demonstrated that if the weather happens to be unfavourable in Nelson it is usually worse elsewhere. When Nelson’s sunshine figures for 1935 were published on 2nd January it was found they were considerably below those of 1934, and there was naturally some conjecture regarding Nelson’s sunshine supremacy. However, IJr. Kidson, Director of the Meteorological branch of the Department of Industrial and Scientific Research, has now supplied the official figures for New Zealand, and these again demonstrate Nelson’s supremacy, although Nelsons figure for 1935 was 2510.5 hours compared with 2558.8 for 1934. The figures for 1935 are as follow:
Station. Hours. Nelson 2510.5 Blenheim 2438.7 Lake Tekapo Tauranga 2431.0 2375.7 Waipiata 2260.7 New Plymouth Napier 2256.7 2190.9 Alexandra, 2175.8 Wellington 2147.2 Queenstown 2135.8 Taupo Hokitika 2106.5 2105.8 Masterton 2083.2 Auckland 2061.7 Palmerston North 2019.6 Sumner, Christchurch 1986.4 Waihi 1969.6 Hanmer Springs 1939.3 Lincoln 1938.1 Cambridge 1924.2 Christchurch 1915.1 Dunedin 1905.0 Oamaru 1884.1 Waimate 1845.2 Rotorua 1828.2 Fairlie 1826.7 Timaru 1818.3 Ashburton 1769.8 Invercargill 1693.4 The Hermitage, Mt.
