FROSTS IN TAUPO
Residents of places such as Rotorua, or Hawkes Bay, often refer to Taupo as being very cold. Recent frost recordings would suggest that a certain proverb, as to people in glass houses being unwise to throw stones, might well be quoted by Taupo people when such references are made. On the morning of Friday last, June 10, frosts as follows were recorded at the places mentioned and were the heaviest of this winter: — Waipukurau 9.5 degrees of frost; Palmerston North 13 degrees; Hastings (Cornwall Park) 15.6 degrees; Tauranga (Whareroa Aerodrome) 16.9 degrees; Rotorua 17.8 degrees; Havelock North (Fruit Research Station) 18.8 degrees. On the same morning 6.6 degrees of frost were recorded at the HydroElectric Department's Meteorological Station at Taupo. It was the heaviest frost of this winter in Taupo up to that morning, the previous heaviest having been that of June 8, 5.5 degrees.
