NARRATOR: All four seasons descend upon the city today, creating a celestial patchwork of blues and greys.

Shards of sunlight hide in the concrete canyons, offering a small respite for smokers on benches.

But beware the Southerly wind that chills the shadows, for he’ll freeze anyone not wearing at least two layers.

ANNCR: That was the weather brought to you by the Auckland Writers Festival, 13th to 17th May. Book now online.
