## Resource

A nationwide frostbite alert as temperatures plummeted across New Zealand — Taupō and Blenheim hit -1°C, even Auckland dipped to 5°C — thanks to clear skies and light winds letting heat escape. The chill is expected to linger through the week’s first half, especially north, though northerly winds softened conditions in the South Island. Meanwhile, record electricity demand — over 7,100 megawatts on Monday — has strained the grid, but Transpower NZ assures no outages, with industry-wide efforts to maintain supply. Warmer weather and stronger winds are forecast to return later in the week. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
