About this word search
Four seasons in one day is a saying Kiwis use for good reason. A southerly change can make the temperature drop sharply within an hour, while in Canterbury a hot, dry nor'wester blows down from the Southern Alps. Ex-tropical cyclones sometimes reach the north in late summer, and in winter the frost can be thick on the windscreen in the morning.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and the words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Southerly, norwester and lightning are the longest at nine letters each. Fog is the shortest at three, and hail, gale and snow have four. The Z of drizzle and breeze and the Y of humidity, southerly and cyclone are good letters to start with.
Keep a weather diary for a week and tick off every word from the list that you experience. Who gets a rainbow first?
