Yup, have a look at https://niwa.co.nz/static/climate/smd_map.png?1234 which shows the soil moisture levels.

Okay now I'm confused, I'm up in the red part of that map too but our berms are green rather than their usual brown.

To be fair I was away from te Tai Tokerau for most of the summer so maybe I'd have noticed more if I'd been here.

Huh, strange. I haven't noticed conditions this bad since a drought on waiheke around 2012/13.

Maybe I'm in a rainshadow. Will have to get someone to take me on a drive. Not that many black crickets this year either.

I really hope the drought breaks for you.

My wife hates the crickets with a passion! Luckily our chickens are very adept at eating them.

I love watching chooks chase crickets and grasshoppers.
