Well there is nothing like talking to your self on the internet. I wonder if I shout loud enough, will it echo? " HELLO-O-o-o-o," "EHCO-O-o-o-o" Nutcase

Hi I couldn't bear the thought of you resorting to talking to your self on the internet so although I no nothing about the humidity of the north island (aprt from the fact that they all have dehumidifiers there) I checked out a couple of web pages for you to keep an eye on. www.stuff.co.nz www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0286&links www.intellicast.com/Local/IntlLocalStd.asp?loc=nzaa&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=Forecast&product=Forecast&prodnav=none

Thanks for the info, my wife is from," the south" of america. Which if you are not from america you might infer any place in the south, but that is not so, "the south" is georgia and florida and maybe alabama. But not texas or arkansas. Though geographically south, its the midwest. ANYWAYS, "the south" has horrible humidity. Five showers a day and you still feel grimy. She moved to California to avoid it. We love the weather and hate 75-90% of the rest. Depending on traffic and helicopters that hover if not nightly then sometimes bi-nightly. Got to find a better place, where the humdidity is not that overbearing. N.Z has to be the place, it is where that we have to settle on. Thanks again Justin Nice One

Hi justin, a typical summer's day here on Auckland's North Shore has a temperature of around 75 F and humidity of 60 percent. Mid winter is around 55 F with humidity 75%. All in all, nothing to worry about at all.

We landed in Auckland and experienced only an hour of what our kind assistant assured me was an unusually muggy day. It was certainly 'close' but not unbearable. More warm blanket than suffocation.
I recall a few 'average' days in Washington DC which were much worse, and the South of France is certainly no drier to feel.

Hope this helps - perhaps some more widely travelled Aucklanders could offer comparison climates?
