The Wind machines had to run last week-end once more… But this time we did not go below 0°C
Unfortunately others did especially in Marlborough.
Thanks to The Drink Tank showing this link to a film from New Zealands TV One News. Over 100 helicopters costing up to 3000 NZ$ per hour… flying through the night, trying to prevent from too much damage.
Here are some lowest temperatures from the last weekend.

Letztes Wochenende mussten unsere Windmaschinen wieder an drei Nächten laufen. Dieses Mal hatten wir mehr Glück und die Temperaturen fielen nicht unter 0°C.
In Marlborough fielen die Temperaturen etwas tiefer.
Vielen Dank an The Drink Tank der auf diesen link hinweist. Ein Film von Neuseelands TV One News. Über 100 Hubschrauber, die pro Stunde bis zu 3000 NZ$ kosten, flogen durch die Nacht, um die warme Luft in den oberen Schichten nach unten zu drücken. Dabei musste alle 10 Minuten jede Position wieder neu überflogen werden.
