I like collating data, and getting thoughts in the brain. All for Public data, Aotearoa New Zealand, and informed communities. #openData #NewZealand #Aotearoa #rstats. He/him. He tangata tiriti ahau
Locally, I think we experienced more of a high 3 than a low 3 in MMI, but not a 4.
Well, 17,810 (and counting) people in the region have the motive, means, and opportunity to jump online and make a felt report
I never expected to be Bluesky's resident NZ egg pricing time series data expert, but there you go.
There are people who see these carefully constructed headlines and don't ask questions like "so how many people are moving on to the benefit" or "So have the total numbers come down"
Yup. Wllkiwis flu/covid to week 27 all group sample aggregates, 2026 0.5%/5.4% 2025 8.8%/5.6% 2024 9.2%/13.8% 2023 6.9%/7.7% Auckland Sentinel flu hospitalisations also real low (respiratory dashboard)
Good news everybody. There are no active climate related official states of emergency in the country as I currently write this.
I am in your page 4 of the Otago Daily Times, being reported about my evening and weekends project
While there isn't timely, detailed info on national fuel use, if March-May petrol prices are up an average of 30% and Diesel up an average of 73%, then electronic card spending on fuel being only up 17% means that even if we don't know the proportion of fuel being sold, there is a lot less sold
And so very, very many Piwakawaka flitting around and insistently demanding insects be stirred up for them.
I (currently) think an effective way of using it for analysis code (on the understanding I know R enough to spot it going off the rails) is "given data generate some code to do x in this specific way" where the given data is a skier::skim() report of the structure that does not share the data.
Marlborough - "Expect 120 to 180 mm and possibly up to 220 mm, on top of what has fallen. Peak rates of 15 to 25 mm/h likely until this evening, especially about the ranges. During this period, coastal locations may receive 40 to 80 mm of rain." www.metservice.com/warnings/home
I worked back to the press release. "NZ employers more skeptical of AI than other countries" is also an interpretation. But 24% of UK employer respondents saying AI is core to their business makes me question their sample representativeness. BTW, how has the UK economy been going these days?
From clicking around on the graph the stop bank overflow looks to be somewhere above 700 (I can't find a vertical scale option and the overflow level is not showing on the existing graph) but it does seem to have maxed out at 636
Heavy rain warning extended to 5pm, but at the moment does not look to be anything of the scale of the early hours of the morning
The Ōwheo flow at the Leith Street measurement station peaked at 3am at 91.6 cumecs. Which is the highest flow there since 2017.
Taieri at Outram looks a lot like it is just coming to a peak flow ATM
I guess it mostly reflects the way (other) social medias have eaten their brains and the kind of reflexive labelling of people not showing loyalty and deference among the more fascistical neighbourhoods.
