Ken Ring's Predict Weather For New Zealand 2009

The 2009 almanac brings some changes to the tried and true format of the previous guides that make this one even more useful. For example, best fishing times, snow, extreme weather, frost, and surf information is now included into each day's weather page rather than being located at the rear of the book, making the book an even more indispensable way to see all sorts of weather conditions at a glance.

And just to reinforce how accurate Ken Ring's predictions can be: NIWA argued that the Waikato region would not receive drought-breaking rain until May. Ken's Predict Weather Almanac 2008, in shops since last September, predicted good rain in the Waikato in the last two days of March - and that rain did come...

Ken Ring, a former maths teacher, is the author of 14 books on weather and climate in New Zealand, including the weather almanacs since 1999. His other books are:

- The Maori Fishing Calendar

- Secrets of the Moon

- Moon and Weatherlore

- Weather Handbook

- Predicting Weather by the Moon

Ken began his business of Predict Weather Ltd in 2002 to supply farmers with something more useful than a day-before forecasting system, so they could plan ahead with confidence.
