The arrival of autumn has brought windy weather. The meteorologist made reference to the Roaring Forties in explanation: the relative lack of landmass in the southern hemisphere results in some spectacular west-to-east air currents.
And since we're on the topic of latitudes, naturally I had to look some things up. Auckland is just below the southern 36th parallel. For reference, what's just above the 36th parallel in the US? Why, the Four Corners. City-wise, it's San Jose, CA; Springfield, MO; or Norfolk, VA.
