@Iveyline I think it's missed us in Auckland too. Just some light rain so far. Perhaps this was just a media frenzy born from fears of repercussions of not being seen to do something. What bay is that?

The 90-day swim that united New Zealand behind ocean conservation
By Simon Smale

Jono Ridler swam 1,367 kilometres down New Zealand's east coast to raise awareness for ocean health and to end bottom trawling. His exploits have galvanised a nation.

Hi everyone! This is my first post in a long time. I'm cross posting this from Facebook.

I made my first proper node based on the RAK WisBlock 4631! This is my first time deploying a project in the wild all by myself so I'm really excited! I've included a solar panel and a solar charge controller to allow this system to self-sustain, and it's been running for two days without issues (though the 10000 mAh battery is overkill -- I'll replace that in the future). Thanks to the community for driving the initiative and for constructive discussions on building nodes.

March 2026 was the 4th warmest March on record globally. Note the high-amplitude wavy pattern of anomalies across the Northern Hemisphere.

This month was about 1.48°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. The last 12-months have been about 1.43°C above it.
