ONERAHI DAIRY BECOMES UNOFFICIAL MET SERVICE AS CUSTOMERS REFUSE TO AGREE IT'S MUGGY
Three customers, one thermometer above the pie warmer, zero consensus.
A trip to buy milk at an Onerahi dairy turned into a forty-minute weather debate on Wednesday. Four customers and the owner could not agree whether the day was muggy, close, or fine once you got out of the sun.
It kicked off when Maureen Tipene, 58, walked in and announced it was "sticky as". A bloke in hi-vis at the back said it wasn't that bad. He told Maureen to "try roofing in Kaikohe". Maureen has lived in Onerahi thirty-one years. She said she'd earned the right to call humidity what it was.
"I told him, love, I've sweated through every summer since 1993!" Maureen told The Daily Yarn, fanning herself with a Lotto pamphlet. "He said it was 79 percent humidity and I said well there you go then!"
The owner, who asked to be called only "Raj from the dairy", said the thermometer above the pie warmer read 26 degrees. He added it was "possibly compromised by the pies". He's been asked for a weather opinion about eleven times a day since the harbour fog rolled in Monday.
A bloke holding a Trumpet left without paying, came back, paid, and offered that it was "close, but not Auckland close". This was the deciding vote until someone's nana walked in and said it was lovely.
Maureen has gone home to put a load of washing on. The hi-vis bloke reckons it won't dry. Raj is staying out of it.
