A recent poll's found there's little backing for the suggestion that the summer holiday break is moved from December to February. The issue was raised as more settled summer weather tends to coincide with the start of the school year. NIWA has also confirmed that February is, on average, the best of the summer months in terms of both termperature and low rain fall. A poll was conducted by Research New Zealand to see if there was an appetite for change, but most appear happy with the status quo. Emanuel Kalafatelis is Managing Partner of Research New Zealand and explains the numbers.
